I had great plans for this summer, such as wrap up the ART COLLAB book I have been working on for one and a half year, painting some personal stuff, promoting my newly baked short story and enjoying my time home with my husband…

Instead I had a horrible July, being sick most of the month, specially during its’ second-half. On top of that, on the very last day of that month, my dear father had a heart attack, which almost killed him.

With that said, I had to cancel some client contracts, summon forces and travel to Brazil ASAP, to help and support my family and be together with my father as much as I could. (He is much better now, but his health is very delicated and my family and I live with the possibility that the “worse” can still happen.)

After the hardship, I am back home, not so well psychologically, but ready to retake professional activities… And perhaps, paint something new…

Now, I hope to wrap up for once and for all the Art Collab book, which counts with so many great guest artists and share this one of a kind work with YOU.

“Art Collab – Artistic Collaboration in the Digital Era” is an experimental Art Book unlike any before. It’s a sum of creative juice, brainstorming, will power, friendship, partnership, team work and personal efforts. – Come and get inspired with beautiful and original art, tips and insights for artists and art lovers!

Artists from several countries such as Norway, Brazil, Germany, Austria, Canada, Guatemala, Greece, UK, Spain, Poland, Iran and Ukraine makes this read a celebration of diversity. Its content is made out of an array of techniques and art styles, including digital and traditional painting, drawing, photo-manipulation, photography, 3D modeling, Graphic Design and much more!

Highly recommended for those who like to experiment with creativity and are constantly looking new ideas! Coming this Fall – via Mad Artist Publishing

Welcome to this new, cozy and interesting group!

Hello there! :) How were your holidays? Was it all hectic or did you have some time to relax and do other things you normally don’t do along the year?

Mine were absolutely hectic, and I did almost nothing of what I planned (i.e. reading and advanced house cleaning!). But I did connect with closest family and friends, which was good for the mind and soul.

Before I head any further on this little letter, I’d like to THANK YOU.

In May 2014 I started an adventure on the self-publishing playground and have been absolutely fortunate to come across wonderful people – such as you – who have given me support in many ways. You took of your precious time in provide feedback, supporting my work with reviews and blogposts and nonetheless, purchasing it!

So, what is worth… Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :D \m/

Now that we all said goodbye to 2014 , let’s follow through 2015 with tons of creativity, inspiration, prosperity, achievement and realization. If you’re a reader, I hope you enjoy yourself and enhance your wisdom with great books. If you’re an author, I hope you are the one providing those great books to our community – we thank you for that! :)

As for me, I am glad to announce I am publishing an illustrated miniseries in 3 episodes, called “A Cold-Hearted Phoenix” in a few months. Soon I will tell more about the project, so stay tuned for this one!

I have just published as well “No Escapes VOL. 1 – Melancholic Beauty in Norwegian Landscapes” , which is a reference art book for painters and photographers. It is not a table book, as some may think, but because of the way it is built, it can be enjoyed by pretty much anyone who likes landscapes, arts and photography in general. As the title suggests, the book is melancholic, moody and somewhat dark. The second volume is coming somewhere on the second semester.


See you soon, have a great time!

image: My dear GoodReads chaps, it’s been a while since I wrote anything, so I am wrapping up news and stuff in this post. I have been working!
