𝓡𝓮𝓸𝓼𝓲𝓪 𝔁 𝓐𝓷𝓰𝓻𝔂 𝓟𝓪𝓻𝓯𝓪𝓲𝓽 Important info in the last slide! ⏩ Official reveal of my very first Stamp Rally design! 💖 The theme is Maid Café, so I had a perfect opportunity to draw Reosia in a maid outfit with Nenya as an angry dessert~ 😾🍨✨ Join the rally to get it for free! By the way, there was a last minute change in booth placement on @japanday_officiel and I'm going to be right in front of the entrance - number H5 (@sabrinak.art booth in the original map). It's marked in the last picture. Sorry for causing a little chaos >.<💦 ⊹₊ ˚‧︵‿₊˚ʚ♡ɞ˚₊‿︵‧ ˚ ₊⊹ { #chibi #kawaiiart #maidcafe #originalart }

Snippets from Bologna and the Children’s Book Fair! We traveled on the tiniest plane I’ve ever been on — it was loud, shaky, and honestly a bit scary! Once we arrived at the fair, we managed to put up our artwork on the wall, but I was shocked by how bad the display situation was. It was really disheartening to see so many illustrators’ works on the floor. Sure, a lot had fallen off, but I also saw pieces that were ripped or damaged. It was just sad. We had dinner with the girls from @scbwibenelux and @happylee_illustrator and that was awesome! As for the city itself, I found Bologna quite dirty overall. That said, the city center is still beautiful — the architecture is fascinating, and there’s so much “hidden” art tucked away (even if it’s very Catholic with lots of angels and biblical scenes). It was still lovely to see! Now the food — that was amazing! A bit pricey, but so worth it. My favorite dish? Pumpkin ravioli topped with almond biscuits. So, so good. Was the trip worth it? For the Children’s Book Fair specifically — in my opinion, no. And I know that might be controversial, considering what other illustrators are saying! But for me, it was just too crowded, too stressful. I think the fair is incredible if you’re a publisher, but as an illustrator, I felt more overwhelmed than anything. That said, the rest of the trip was fantastic. I got time to relax, unwind, and enjoy the city with the amazing @cessilustra — and that part was totally worth it. As for next year? I definitely won’t have FOMO if I skip the fair. Been there, done that — and now I know it’s just not for me. #BolognaTrip #ChildrensBookFair #IllustratorsLife #HonestReview #Bologna2025 #CreativeJourney #ArtFairDiaries #BehindTheScenes #illustratortravels

Do you know this Luxembourgish tradition✨🕯? Every year on 2 February, Luxembourg celebrates Liichtmëssdag (Candlemas), where children walk through their neighborhoods carrying lanterns 🏮 In small groups, they go from door to door, singing a traditional song to ask for candy 🍬 or a bit of money 💰 (like you can hear sung *beautifully 😆* by me, the song starts with "Léiwer Härgottsblieschen" 🎶) We call this tradition "liichten"✨️ Liichtmëssdag is the eve of St. Blaise’s Day (3 February), and the tradition is now linked to Saint Blaise, who is believed to protect against illnesses and to provide the population with a sufficient amount of food (hence the children ask for "Speck an Ierbessen", ➡️ bacon and peas, in the song) 🥓🫛 However, the origins of this holiday go back even further to pre-Christian times 😊 In the past, children carried real candles on the end of wooden sticks🕯On the photos from the 1960's you can see in the video, they actually put candles inside the lanterns and it was not uncommon for lanterns to burst into flames 😅 So, for safety reasons, these were later replaced with electric bulbs💡 Unlike in France, Belgium, or French-speaking Switzerland, where 2 February is La Chandeleur and celebrated with crêpes 🥞, this is not a tradition in Luxembourg 😊 However, because many people in Luxembourg have French or Belgian roots 🇫🇷🇧🇪, and quite a few of them also work in marketing here, you might still see social media posts from local brands featuring crêpes on this day - I'm not saying this is a bad thing, as both traditions can co-exist, but I just hope they will also feature more posts about liichten this year ☺️ Happy Liichtmëssdag and don't forget to prepare candy and some coins for the children 😁 #liichtmëssdag #luxembourg #lëtzebuerg

During the SCBWI Benelux Retreat, we all sat at the breakfast table, talking and getting to know each other. I took out my Nina Cosford sketchbook to start sketching, and to my surprise, Sandra and Ces had the same one! I absolutely love this sketchbook—the paper is thin yet can handle different art materials, and it’s light and easy to carry around. #ncsketchbook #sketchbook #illustrator #childrensbookillustrator #artistoninstagram #doodle

🌟 The beautiful town of Spa was perfect for getting creative, and the best part was meeting wonderful writers and fellow artists from SCBWI Benelux Region, learned cool tips about art supplies, and discovered more about publishing books in our area. So happy to be part of this creative family since 2020! Can’t wait for our next meetup! ✨ #SCBWI #CreativeRetreat #scbwibenelux #scbwiillustrators #artistsoninstagram #childrensbookillustrator
