Read MoreA couple of months ago Youtube has sucked me in so deeply that I was watching the screen day and night. Not that I hadn’t used this amazing platform before, but the time had finally come when I wasn’t looking for videos according to topic, but according to creators. This is how I met the […]

October calendars
Read MoreI won’t reveal a great secret in saying that autumn is my favourite season.

Repeat pattern challenge Vol. 2
Read MoreAs we all know, setting aside only 15 minutes a day for creating is real nourishment for the soul. Not to mention that it will have a very good effect on your creativity if it becomes part of your daily routine. It’s pity that it doesn’t really work – not even for me, even though […]

Leave a mark – 10 tips against blank paper syndrome
Read MoreI’m sitting above a blank piece of paper and I am simply unable to start… If only I drew the first line, it would be easier… But at the moment it seems unbelievable that this blank paper will soon be filled with something, something that I create… The above case is well-known to (some) artists […]
