Enjoying my new sketchbook
So, here it is, 2016, the year of the Monkey... let's hope it will be playful, energetic, funny and cheerful, as it is supposed to be.
I must admit I already feel a little monkey influence at my work. During this past week I got a flu, but I had so many new ideas that instead of cuddling in bed I spent almost all the time painting and drawing. And I think it was worth it.
