First time: live drawing!

Had the most amazing time tonight, drawing live at one of my favourite places in Utrecht: Hooi, the cutest “notting-hill-like” lunchroom. So much fun! The evening was filled with tasty finger bites, poetic music and a beautiful story by Bordenvol. I made postcards of people’s favorite drink or food, giving it a quirky twist:

 

 

 Do you see my dreaming series in the background?

They will remain in the lunchroom for a mini-exhibition!

*proud!*

 

 

 

 

 

Please excuse me for the poor quality of the images. Forgot my camera, so had to make pictures with my crappy phone camera… (and of course forgot to photograph three quarters of the drawings because the rush I was in).

 

Look what I got!

Today was my birthday. And look what came in the mail:

 

 

I can’t believe it! After shouting out on the internet (meant for my friends) that this image was number one on my wishlist, the lovely creator – illustrator Nelleke Verhoeff – sent it to me herself!

 

And I love it!
