#ghea

December, one of my favorite months is near, and with it finally the cold has arrived. To celebrate the coming of Christmas I decided to make a small drawing challenge with simple prompts (adaptable to anything), in the hope to see some beautiful art on the theme of Winter/Christmas. I want to tell you right away that I’m not sure I will be able to participate because unfortunately this December will be a very busy month, but let's see how it goes.

"Would you still love me if I was of no value to you anymore? Do you love *me* or *the things that I do*?"

Some time ago I heard an audio (quite popular on tiktok) that in some fragments reminded me of one of Alsya’s problems... Especially after chapter 9, I think it will be more understandable... But in the meantime, I thought I’d share this sequence.

An amazing visual journey celebrating Ghea's fortieth anniversary as a fashion designer and as a promoter of Indonesian textile crafts.  Born in Rotterdam and educated in Europe, Ghea is one of Indonesia's most famous fashion designers, renowned for having promoted a renaissance in Indonesia's ethnic textile tradition. After graduating from a fashion college in London, she returned to her country and established her fashion-design studio in 1980, and she has since opened several ateliers and boutiques in Jakarta. Her mission: to develop, celebrate, and promote her country's fashion heritage. Her textiles make strong use of folklore, including the Jumputan tie-dyed fabrics (the Pelangi Palembang) that have become her hallmark.  A role model for women, entrepreneurs, designers, and visionary people, Ghea went international early in her career. Since her very first forays into fashion, Ghea has been instrumental in establishing the association of fashion designers (IPMI) in her country for the professionalization of fashion design. Ghea has given Indonesian fashion worldwide attention, showcasing her collections in Paris, Cannes, Marrakech, Kuala Lumpur, London, and Milan. Her shows have been attended by international celebrities, and she has often been featured in major fashion magazines, like Harper's Bazaar and Prestige Indonesia.

This Inktober piece has been on my mind since a long long time ago - it’s Mihaki from @wandererstoryteller‘s wonderful webcomic Ghea (check it out here, it’s SO worth it! ). Mihaki is my favourite character - he is a great friend with serious big brother insticts. Also he has the cutest fluffy ears on Ghea. Next time i so need to draw a closeup in colour...

Poor Momboo standing they're trying not to laugh at the very jumpy scientist and equally as jumpy adventure.
