Yaxin, or Man Arenas, Is Spanish comic book artist/graphic designer who freelances from Europe. His beautiful watercolour and digital images are beautifully inspiring to me. He is a talented artist I check on frequently and has published a graphic novel with French publisher Soleil. I am a huge fan of French graphic novels.. They really do make the best! Check out his blog here.

I love this unfinished watercolour he did too.

I came across my new favourite artist. I don’t know much about her other then her name is Adolie, she does brilliantly cute artwork and she is presently lives in France. Check out her blog and website. She has tonnes of adorable products that would make great gifts for Christmas.

I just love the moodiness of the black and white charcoal look. Her published style looks like this though. Very nice!

Hi guys, This is my first post from Canada. I am here visiting friends and family for Xmas and trying hard to get used to the 8 hr time difference. I am still waking up at 3 am wide awake and feeling hungry. It’s nice to breath some nice Canadian air again though and be around some beautiful nature. It was so foggy and lovely out the other day that my mom and I took some pictures. The first few pictures were taken by a lake near my parent house. There is an eagle on top of the tree in the first picture. The Squirrel was across the street from my house and clearly visable from my bedroom window which Seraphine, my sisters cat, watched out more then a little interested.
