Heeey friends, it’s been quite a while since I popped in with an illustration. And I’ve painted absolutely nothing in that time, ha! You know how good that feels?! hahaha 😀 Fingers, wrist, shoulder blade, neck, eyes—and most of all the brain—get to rest!
People often ask me: do you paint something every day? Do you take a sketchbook on holiday of course? No. Never. Honestly never. I’m not a fundamentalist about it. As much as I love my job, I really like the pause from it too. I enjoy time for other things I love just as much. The break is so welcome creatively: you clear space and air in your head for new ideas. You get out of your own way. You shed the extra skin. And that is just so awesome. 😀
Am I itching to get back to the brushes? No. Not yet. I’m still comfy. Do I already have ideas for what I’ll paint? Yes—maybe 2–3. They’re still processing and buffering somewhere at the back of my head. I’ll definitely let you know when they materialise.
So I’m just waving to you now from a brick‑tinted snapshot and wishing you a lovely start to the new month. ❤
Talk soon.
Z. ❤
