January
My bosses' dog (Tina) is my working companion. She's spoiled like a little brat!
February
National Forests in Poland has got online cams which show birds' feeders during day and European bisons' (and other forest animals') haystack during night. My cats got quite frantic while watching the birds. They constantly checked if they can catch them from behind the screen ;)
April
A super neat embroidery I've designed, prepared and supervised (aka I was standing next to a machine when it made it and I was sticking felt shapes in the right places and the right time). It's inspired by Polish folklore art.
May
My love for corgis continues as I went to see a dog show just to stare at them :)
I went on an illustration course to Kraków held by Fundacja Sztuki Nowej ZNACZY SIĘ and taught by Joanna Olech (a well known Polish children book writer and illustrator). It was great and I learned a lot :)
June
This is IK (Idaliński Kot), a cat that often accompanies me to and from work/bus stop. She's super friendly and quite stinky ;) When I took this photo it was just after rain and she was totally wet. Which of course didn't stop her from jumping on my knees and trying to head bump me!
It's someone's lost key/phone charm that looks absolutely as if I've done it. It was so weird to see it.
Painted new cat sneakers for myself to wear on a music festival.
July
Music festival + beach = loveliness
You shouldn't see this photo because we were forbidden to take photos. Anyway - here's a human body from The Human Body exhibition (and there's me in the middle!).
(oh that background photobombing)
In August I was working tirelessly on book illustrations. They were incredibly cute so it was a pure pleasure.
August
Well, if you find this position comfortable then I'm not complaining...
Preparing my cornflower tattoo design. I still haven't got it ready but I'm not in any type of hurry.
I went on an art camp with my sister's art school. We went to Bieszczady Mountains and I went swimming every day (look at THIS and you'll understand). That's my youngest sister next to me in the photo :)
October
The book I've been illustrating in June-August is ready! It looks fabulous. I will post a review + some WIP pictures for you to see soon!
November
My silkscreen designs got into the next level. That's how I feel about them anyway :)
Since some time (July 2013?) my Love and I have been a lot into craft beer. We decided to make a small "beer night" for my family. You cannot only drink popular European lagers all the time, can you?
December
Here's a size chart of all illustrations to one of the books I was illustrating in December. Illustrations were made traditionally - I would trace the shapes (and numbers!) onto watercolour paper and then paint.
I started Daily Sketches (3rd edition!) on the 1st of December. Right now I'm on my 54th sketch and it's as much fun as I've remembered it to be :)
Hope your 2013 was great but your 2014 will be awesome!

Tego różowego królika to ja chyba znalazłem i Ci dałem.
ReplyDeleteA co do piwa to zaczęliśmy je pić dopiero jakoś od października. W lipcu to byliśmy na festiwalu i sami jeszcze piliśmy lagerowe piwa po 6 pln :P
Niet, ja go znalazłam jak pojechałam na Południe. Leżał pod Żabką.
DeleteNo właśnie nie wiem jak to było z tym piwem... Ale na pewno na Heinekenie zobaczyliśmy na własne oczy jak wiele piw można wypróbować, kiedy odwiedziliśmy Kandelabry. Ale byliśmy lamy więc ja wzięłam jakiegoś smakowego kutasa a Ty nie wiem co, pewnie też równie beznadziejnie wybrałeś. Ale chińczyk był w pyte :)
