Non-binary artist ๐ŸŒˆ Making fanart, magic and no sense ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ

Spring is coming to the mountains ๐ŸŒฟโ›ฐ

Last few days we were travelling around Georgia ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ช

My parents came to visit because we are leaving soon, and who knows where and when we can meet again ๐Ÿ˜“

So, we revisited some favourite places and discovered some new ones.

Sakartvelo is so gorgeous in spring! ๐Ÿ˜

We have seen snowy mountains and mighty waterfalls, ancient forests, and gardens in bloom.

I had a chance to do quick plein air drawings along the way, and I want to share some with you ๐Ÿ’š

It's Trans Day of Visibility! ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ

And I just found an old version of Jim's affirmation.

Sometimes just being yourself is an act of bravery.

I'm so proud of all trans and nb people, because we exist in a world that tells us we are nothing.

Still there are so many wonderful queers, making amazing art, living unique lives โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

Here's to us and the world that will change for the better ๐Ÿฅ‚

Everyone is making AI generated slop in studio Ghibli style now.

And we just turned a point where we can't say that AI doesn't look good.

It looks okay, but it's as pointless and harmful, as it was.

It doesn't create anything new, it only steals.

And you may say it's just a joke and it doesn't really harm anyone.

But it does. It harms hundreds of artists, who worked thousands hours to create the frames, that now are being fed to genAI. It harms millions of future artists, who won't exist anymore, because it will be impossible to make a sustainable career as an artist soon. It harms every human, because it leaves no place for human art and imagination.

It may look fun, but it is not.

Please, support human art instead. Here is my artworks, inspired by Studio Ghibli ๐Ÿฉต

Some of them took weeks to create. But I learned a lot and made something new โœจ

I still can't quite believe it, but it's really happening ๐Ÿซจ

We just bought plane tickets to France!

We are planning to stay in Paris for a week starting April 14th.

If you will be there and want to walk around the city, please let me know ๐Ÿ˜ณ

It's my second time visiting Paris, but the first time was so long ago, I barely remember anything ๐Ÿ˜…

But I'm sure it will be magnificent in April and oh, I'm so excited! ๐Ÿ˜

Maybe we will have time for a plein-air too ๐Ÿฉต

Psst, wanna have your book illustrated?

We create book covers and illustrations for cozy children's stories, enchanting YA adventures, gripping mystery thrillers, and poignant road novels โ€” have a look at some of them! ^^ One of these covers even made it to the Indie Ink Awards shortlist!

Which one will be next? Maybe yours? ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Letโ€™s make something magical together โœจ

DM me with any questions!

I want to share the best news ever - we just got our French visas! ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐ŸŽ‰

This means we are coming to France mid-April! Honestly, I still can't believe it ๐Ÿฅน

Living in the EU has been my dream for decades, and it's finally happening! I'm so happy and so anxious at the same time. This chapter of my life is ending, and new adventures await โœจ

The next two weeks are going to be quite busy for me, but I'm accepting commissions for the second half of April ๐Ÿ˜‰

Our team continue to work on the new exciting merch projects too! Stay tuned and thank you so much for support โค๏ธ

I wanna be sunny and bright as a sunrise

Happy and full as the moon

I'm fleeting like fireworks

fading too soon

Did I tell you how I love this song? ๐Ÿฉต

I wanted to finish the art inspired by it for ages โœจ

And yes, I think it's Howl. I don't really know, why.

Anyway, this is how I'm feeling right now too.

Big day tomorrow, I am applying for French visa! ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท

Wish me luck, I guess ๐Ÿ€
