It may be rainy and grey in England, but there are still springlike moments to celebrate. Elements of spring are all over my daily art practice.  

9 of 366. Trust me, I’m an engineer. Need to befriend the page composition, it is way too sporadically atm… Way too horrible, but there’s still some months time to hopefully catch up to with the girls… Just wait you two!… I… Will… Get… There… :/ Also kinda fun drawing on line pages. First it was annoying, then the lines were in the way and now I see it as a challenge to be able at the end of the year to dominate the pages even with those damn lines in my way. So yeah, I’ve got this! xP Cheers you people, Sergej aka Nowio ;)

I'm in Copenhagen with my family for a few days and loving it during the Christmas season. Yesterday was Tivoli which was all decked out in lights and today was filled with exploring and sketching. Fun trip!  

When your current daily inspiration is a 60p gridded A6 notebook from Muji. I love nice paper and beautifully bound books that collect precious sketches. I even made a point to back the latest edition of the Perfect Sketchbook with it's lovely leather hardbound body filled with the finest Italian watercolor paper. But that won't be arriving for some months! In the meantime I have been finding myself getting too precious about my Moleskine watercolor sketchbook and as a result my work suffers. Time to spend some quality time with a cheap sketchbook and get back to obsessive low pressure sketching and what caused me to start drawing again in the first place. Thin (but surprisingly sturdy) paper. Not precious. Loving it. 

Keep on making and sharing. Often I don't find myself in the mood to share and that impulse can bleed into my creative output. A messy studio is a loved studio. But spending 5-15 minutes a week cleaning it up is probably a wise habit to form.
