Put Words on your Intuition Sometimes, it is important to stop, think and put words on what you are trying to achieve. So I paused, accessed and realized I was not working on mushrooms, nor crystals, nor bugs (oh yes they’re coming) nor sculptural paintings. I was working on the […]

Backlash. What a dramatic title! It is the title of my latest and almost first sculptural painting. Yes, it’s a big change in my work, which bears a lot of extra questions, but more on that in a future post. If you’d rather take the art in without any explanation, […]
Long time that I haven’t blogged. I’ve been busy complying orders and growing my youtube channel lately. Not counting sculpting hybrids and bugs and other on going projects. This week I’m going to Paris to a conference called “The Miniature and Gigantic”, where I’m going to talk for about 10 minutes […]
Hello! I don’t know how many people are still reading this blog, I feel like most of my followers/readers are on other social media these days, but I digress. My youngest cat Arya lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time, we brought her several times to […]
Don’t pursue happiness, pursue meaning. I sometimes feel slightly double-faced when I say and think certain things, then work on seemingly the opposite. Yes, I do believe seeking happiness makes no sense. Yes, I’m working on a project called “happy bugs”, to celebrate the happy things in life. How do […]
Hello Folks! I’ve finally set up my Patreon page! Woooooooot! Give me moneeey!! \o/ Ahem… excuse me, got excited there… That being said, Patreon is pretty much about patronage against rewards. In an ideal world, I would like to sculpt on different themes and evolve as an artist, filming the process […]
I recently stumbled upon Adam Westbrook over on Patreon who makes filmic essays about various topics. And watched with interest a serie of 3 videos he did about creativity. In very brief the idea behind this is that great things are only achieved through “the long game”, years of dedication […]
Hello! I am SO excited about this! It’s quite clear from the posts I’ve been writing on my blog the past months, that I need some artistic mentors. I’m convinced that if you want to grow as an artist you need to find people who you admire, so you can understand […]
3 weeks into 2016 and I am learning to be kind to myself. Since I started sculpting the elephant 2 weeks or so ago, I have not painted. But that is ok, I think that challenge was a little too heavy anyway. Right now I’m thinking of doing a weekly […]
Pfff haha… hmm Bad pun in the title just up there. Got it? (sculpting a head and ahead…) Anyway! This time, cheery me is back and the gloomy emotional me is somewhere tucked in a drawer in the back of my head. Relieved? Yeah, me too. Sometimes, I find […]
What the hell are you doing? Ou vas-tu? J’erre.. Dans quelle étagère? C’est quoi ton but? What’s your goal? Ja und was jetzt? Painting or sculpting? What? Both? None? Are you going to write everywhere…. from now on? You are overthinking… Again! Will it ever stop? Non. What’s next? You […]
Last week, and short before 2016, I talked about the new art challenge I was taking this year, abstract studies. It is odd how long it took me to fool around with abstract painting. Part of it probably has to do with my tendency to be a control freak, so […]
