Huaco

Our replica of a pre-Inca 'Huaco' we brought with us from Peru. Just a quick doodle to wish my family in law a safe journey from Cusco to Caraz.

Buen viaje Claudita, mama S., papa P. y Benji !!!

Surviving / Sobrevivir

Thinking of some very kind souls I met one day in Chile...after all those years we lost contact. How are they these days...what's happening overthere...just thinking of them...that is my Chile.

Dadme el silencio, el agua, la esperanza.
Dadme la lucha, el hierro los volcanos.
Apegadme los cuerpos como imanes.
Acudid a mis venas a mi boca.
Hablas por mis palabras y mi sangre
P. Neruda

Sakura

In Japan these days the cherry blossoms, or Sakura in Japanese language, came alive, a very true and honest sign that spring isn't far away anymore, also for the rest of the northern part of the planet. I really hope to travel one day to Japan. It attracts me in a very particular way.

FrouFrou ! Cucu!!!


Finally, ready for springtime with my new cut. Last year I tried a hairdresser, bad try, so today i tried another one here in the small village where I'm living. And guess what, just perfect, a very good service, very friendly hairdressers with time to listen to all my wishes...and yes I'm happy!
It feels fresh, new, reborn...I'm ready for the sun and some new dresses very soon!

Perspective

When he can catch a magazine or book about architecture or building cosy houses then he do so, to dream away in the future, to give time a certain perspective...while enjoying some tasty beers on this moment...a sweet one for today made of cherry's.

Alpaca-stamp

Thinking of my second homeland...and enjoying making stamps and creating my homemade Alpaca's...the best thing to do on a rainy day.

Pensando en mi segundo hogar...y disfrutar de hacer estampas y crear mis Alpaca's.
Todo para escapar de este dia lleno de lluvia.

Tea-time


It was a lovely afternoon having the visit of Sylvie at home. She is a very talented painter and full of knowledge about this life. Watch her website and blog!

Both they look full of future plans, no?! :)))

Healing / Curación


The best way to find back your healthy body is following nature. Again I realised myself that all the things I buyed in pharmacy didn't changed a note in my healing proces. Lemons, herbs and other spices like salt! brought me back to reality life...I feel still very lucky and I go spitting in the new book 'Grow your own drugs' from James Wong! About natural remedies and beauty threats!!! Goodnight folks! Don't forget some lavender underneath your pillow! ;)

Back again with a plate of CEVICHE!!!

FINALLY!
I recovered almost from my painly throat. After my last drawing it went down and still deeper then I could think. Horrible days I passed now...and since yesterday I am recovering. Again I realise how lucky we are when the 'body-machine' is working like she has to do...but oooooo when it goes wrong! I suffered enough now...I'm turning back but slowly! to real life and because it's vacation here in B. I will keep the activity these days low. drawing is my first priority, visiting and leaving with friends the second one and other things can wait...
I'm hungry now of drawing this recipe for the funny site of Tom : Recipe Look.
Take a look on his space, take a paper and draw your recipe.
Everyone can do it. I just sended mine...
and now back to the sofa and take a rest
Welcome back to me and everyone!!!

Muddy / Lodoso


Remember my young days, building houses and castles of bricks and sticking them together with mud...I thought they would resist for ages. And leaving my boots inside to play barefoot in the muddy pool...:)

Time to take a breath


If someone was wondering why I didn't put anymore drawings these last two days. First : I really couldn't find the time to relax and draw and second : My energy has took a flight with me and since yesterday I'm feeling very sick. It can be some kind of flue but I think rather that I was eating something wrong. So let's give time to my body to fight against the monsters inside...I'm preparing gallons of tea with lemon and I believe that tomorrow will be much better if I take some rest...meanwhile my lovely man made this experiment with camera movements and typographical elements in it...he is my energy!

Animated kids 2 / Niños animados 2


They made their own animation movie, my little artists :) and they were happy with it!
Don't search a huge plot or a very thrilling story...it's right from the heart, pure, clean and the idea of the children! :)

Discovered

Yesterday while strolling in the city I visited again my favourite magazine-store in Antwerp. And again I discovered another brand new magazine...made in The Netherlands and so usefull for people who feel that their mind is becoming to 'full'. Always thought that all those 'mindfulness'- books were just to neglect, but this magazine, his bright colours and design really can relax me and taking me back to another slower and mind liberating rythm...amazing what a Flow!

Lunch-bird / Ave del almuerzo

I just had this sandwich-paper, some leaves of mint I bought in the neighbour shop of the museum where I am guiding, Tipp-Ex to remove wrong dates in my diary and a black pen...so this is what came out of my hand...or let's say head... :) Is it a girl or a bird or a freeky 'thing'...it was just fun to make! :)
