The blackird's family FIRST LAYER

There is not much time left to the birth of my first child. If the delivery will be on time there is only 19 days left. I've just started to make a linocut birth card. Well the task is quite heavy if we consider my advanced pregnancy. But I promised to take it easy and I will make just as much as I can. I was thinking for a long time about the project. Of course, I wanted to make something very, very special and original, but as they say 'everything in the art has already been.' I've decided to make it simple, readable, joyful and what is very important- close to our hearts. One of the very early mornings I couldn't sleep I was listening to the birds outside and there I've heard the one very recognizable voice of my partner's favorite birds THE BLACKBIRD. It was my first inspiration of the project for the card. My design image shows a family blackbirds in a tree. The one of the adult birds is the mammy and she is feeding the little one which is sitting in the nest. The second one daddy is singing out the name of the baby. Well, we still don't know the name of the baby and we didn't want to know sex of the baby as well. So we have to wait with the pressing the name on the card ;-)

Plein du Publique Rotterdam

The 2nd edition of Plein du Publique in Rotterdam was a very nice event. Even if there was a bit rainy and windy I still believe that Pijnackerplein on Saturday 11 May was the place to be. It was for me the first time I sell my artwork in such a way and I see now that I still have to learn a lot. But well, the fun was the most important thing! And addition to fun I have my costs back :) There are a lot of such art festivals all over the city. The next is soon but because of my current physical condition I have to be careful and wait a bit for easier time. The next art fair I'm participating is on 14th September in Spijkenisse during art route. Hopefully see you there. Till then I'm going to check what for possibilities of selling my art give me the internet like Etsy
