I'M GETTING A EXHIBITON OMFGMYGOALISREACHEDICANDIEINPEACENOW.


Well no, I can't actually die yet. Definetly NOT! So much more to achieve! Hurah!
So yep, I'm getting my very first (more to come please?) exhibiton, along with the other members of my dojinshi-crew (read: family). Ain't that A-FRIGGIN-MAZING?


My dear manager Susanna and I collaborated in making the flyer. I'll post it here!(It's in dutchie though~ Sorry!)

So obviously, I'm really excited. The exhibition is in Haarlem on the 4th, 5th and 6th of June, which is.. kinda quick if you ask me! So much left to do.. Gosh, I need to make more pages, or I won't make the deadline of 15th of May! Uhoh.. But I'm wondering. What the hell am I gonna display? D: I could let my ps-art be printed BIG on pretty paper.. or do some traditional works.. or both.. I DUNNO YET. HALP?

As for pages - I'm swamped in things I still want to do! Like.. I need to finish pages, re-do pages, clean  pages, screentone pages, pretty it up with fullcolor pics which take LOTS OF TIME, redo color-pages in different colorstyles.. Omfg. Yep, busy as hell. But hey, nothing better than a lot of pressure to keep you goin' right? (Better than kaffeine!)



Oh yeah - I've been meaning to show you this for some time now.  A few pretty pieces of Luna fanart a while ago~ Thankyou!


 This one was an art-trade, which I keep forgetting to do the counterpart of! Oops! Sorry!












Over and out!

Oh my, it's been a while!

Today, I'll tell you about new my favourite book. It used to be twilight, which is.. cheesy (?) because so many people like it and it's kinda obvious and whatever, but friggin AMAZING nonetheless. Yep, twilight is a book I have read over and over and OVER because it just gets to me, you know, as a teenager. Not that I really want Edward specifically, but it'd be nice. However - I just finished the dutch version of the lovely bones. (The hell, why didn't I read it in english!? - Oh right, I got lazy and found the dutch version in a book store. Yeah.)

The lovely bones is a book I did not know before I saw the movie trailer - hello hello, sounds familiar much? Yep, it went the same with twilight. Now, Twilight thought me this little rule: ALWAYS. READ. BOOK. FIRST. So I did. And it was intense, sad, amazing and gave me goose bumps (a word I learned by reading twilight, /off topic) all way through. Even now, when I've finished it 20 minutes ago, I'm still shaking. So I wanted to blog about it, immediately.

I was first attracted to the book because it has a beautiful cover. *picture..*

Pretty right? Yep, so that hit my attention. And the story, of course. I read a little bit of the comments below youtube trailers - how it was not only breathtaking, but lifechanging as well. This triggered my scepticism. How could a mere book change? So I read it.
And damn. they were right.

The book tells us of loss, of love and growing up. Susie, the narrator, tells us perfectly how the minds of young teenagers and children work, as well as those of her murderer, parents and other grown-ups.

Now, this book, and the movie I'm going to see asap, are very very tear-triggering, so do get a few kerchiefs ready. It's beautiful, it's amazing, but is also very sad. Now go read it.

Here's the trailer:
