Challenges and Accepting Drastic Changes

Working in the creative industry is challenging today and finding a "survival job" can be a necessity. Being able to connect with people directly, like on art markets, is so important for artists. Particularly in difficult times like now.

A photograph of an illustration lying on a wooden table with artists supplies in the background. It is a dark fantasy illustration featuring two treelike creatures, holding hands and looking back and the viewer, surrounded by trees. They are inspired by the Grimm's fairytale Hansel and Gretel.

About loss, challenges, change in daily routine, focusing on a future in art and illustration but mainly talk about my latest dark fantasy, Grimm's fairytale inspired artworks.

A photograph of a warm yellow and brown sheet of printed illustration in inks and black pastels, lying on a wooden table. The illustration shows a round face sitting in the middle of a brownish yellow background, surrounded by a dark brown frame. It's the Sun, with twirling swirls around it, looking like hair or rays of sunshine. Below the sun there lies a tight cluster of dark blueish green and round shaped clouds, some with vaguely shaped faces.
