Moonhouse / Casa de la luna

Before yesterday, when I came home from working...saw a cloud like this above our little house, embracing the moon...very nice feeling it gave me!

Anteayer cuando llegaba a mi casa, una nube estaba abrazando a la luna...era un momento múy especial.

Drawing into new light

Just bought new lights for our living room and I wanted to draw my 'moonhouse' (above) on this table. The coloured textile beneath the plants I brought with me from Cajamarca (Peru) and I am so in love with it...Dreaming to draw one day in that beautiful city on 'my' own table in our 'own' house...the moonhouse :)

Rest my friend / Descansa mi amiga


Last night an old schoolfriend of me passed away after her battle with cancer. We dreamed together of the future many years ago, went our way in this life and just on the moment when we made contact again after so many time her body couldn't resist the struggle anymore.
She will shine for her little son and family from high above...take care my friend, we will miss you!

Ayer una amiga de la primaria ha dejado la vida despues de su batailla contra el cancer. Hace años soñabamos con el futuro, hemos eligido nuestro camino en esta vida y justo en el momento de encontrarnos por el camino digital su cuerpo ha decidido que no podria luchar mas contra esta fuerza. Ella va a brillar para su hijito y su familia desde muy alto...cuidate mucho mi amiga, te vamos a extrañar!

Bananas in wintertime / Platanos en el invierno


If I want bananas one day of my little banana-tree then I have to protect him for the coming cold nights. The night before the first ice flew into the garden...banana-tree is ready to survive now!!!

Si quiero comer un dia platanos de mi arbol, entonces tengo que proteger fuerte la planta del frio. La noche pasado teniamos hielo en el jardin! Ahora mi platano esta listo para sobrevivir!!!

Shaun Tan : The arrival / La llegada

One page out of The arrival / 'De aankomst' in Flemish-language

One week ago we bought this marvellous book. As my husband himself immigrated also, this book suits him perfectly. It's a story about immigration and all kind of feelings that come with it...but all these things dropped in a surrealistic salsa...very very special!
A must for drawing-souls.
To know more about the artist Shaun Tan, go to his site and enjoy!
