Here we go then! :) This is the first one, of a bunch of rusałkas - they are slavic creatures that live in the forests, near lakes and streams. They are beautiful, have green hair and will dance you to death. In Poland there is a holiday called "Zielone Świątki" (Green Holidays). It is one of those holidays that have been celebrated by pagan ancestors before catholicism appeared - and originally celebrated these creatures. People would put up feasts for them and dance around bonfires (and apparentely some people sitll do). Currently officially it's Pentecost, a holiday which I personally never really understood. In Poland most people will call it Zielone Świątki.

Watch this space! I will try to update on Mondays :)

little foresty

As per usual the new years resolution to update more often is not working too well!
But it's ok I was actually pretty busy with really boring things (i.e. tax return).

Now I should have more time for exciting things :)

I am going to start a new series of weekly drawings with mythical creatures. If there are any you particularly love, let me know so I will add them to my list. The list is currently not very long... But I would like to do at least 52 of them (an easier take on the 365 trees thing). So far I have one image nearly finished and a few more planned. Before that tho I have some little drawings of forests and lichens. Weather is no even remotely wintery, it feels like one could go mushroom picking...

First picture of 2014

Happy New Year!!!

So this is the first picture I drew this year!

I hope the year is not going to be all like the 1st, as the rain is pouring out there! On the other hand I am cosy next to a real fire, drawing and chilling. I guess it could be worse :)

My main plan for this year is that I want to do a similar thing to 365 trees... But one a week. Theme is yet to be decided, but I think it will start by Sunday ;)
