Book Fair!

Yesterday, a couple of friends and I went to a book fair that is taking place at the University of São Paulo, where the books are discounted up to 50%~ it was so crowded!
To tell you the truth, I havent bought any books in ages ^^; I didn't even think I would buy any so I had no money with me haha. This fair certainly re-awaken the book worm in me...

So I bought this beautiful fanzine with quotes from several writers and philosophers. The theme is hate, and it's beautifully illustrated! There was another edition about madness, which my friend bought :D
I also brought home this book written by Bruna Vieira, illustrated by Lu Cafaggi, which had been on my wishlist for a while! Lu Cafaggi's art style is so beautiful, she's someone I really look up to, I had to have this book <3 p="">
Really happy about those purchases, and I definitely want to buy a book to actually read before the year ends. Been eyeing some Murakami works - I simply adore his writing!
Are you reading anything at the moment? Any recommendations? Would love to hear about that!

Lain

Just a preview of the sketch I'm working on! I had put her right arm forward before, but then I realized I had done it recently :P And I wouldn't want it to look like a repeat of Aaaaanyway, yeah! Serial Experiments Lain fanart <3 It was the first anime to blow my mind~ I've been on a nostalgia roll, and Lain will always have a special place in my heart. Maybe it's considered too weird by some? Of course it had its creepy moments XD  But I think it has a great message in it. My main inspiration here were the opening and ending theme songs, which are in a way a cry for help. I still love the opening specially, and I was obsessed with it for a long time! I thought not only it was a beautiful melody, but the singer's voice was amazingly clear~ Acoustic version sounds great <3:

Back!

I returned, after a long long time! Sorry about that! Decided to start using this blog again, for sketches and everything :D I also feel like writing in english because it feels as comfortable as my first language =3=;; Sorry about that as well! Since my last post, things changed a lot in my personal life but I don't feel like I upgraded a lot, art-wise XD I feel like I'm working slowly but eh, I'm happy! Let's get goinngggg~~ Okayyyy time for a sketch! My inspiration for this was thinking about how many people don't accept themselves how they are; not necessarily because they are bad, or don't like being good, or even not being good enough. But I feel like their intern conflicts outcast their real self, and their own brightness. I think it's awesome to be able to look at yourself and fully embrace what and who you are, with all your mightyness. Just be comfortable being you. Accepting the different sides of oneself doesn't mean being a hypocrit...

"I am falling I am fading I am drowning Help me to breathe I am hurting I have lost it all I am losing Help me to breathe" Sketch and link to song are in my previous post:  here Didn't turn the way I really wanted, but oh well XD I'm still happy after all those years I got to draw Lain. I love the concept and the mind tricks in this anime. It has a good ending and closure too~ I had an urge to produce something. Been considering joining some charity artbook projects! I've looked at 2 so far, I hope I can get in and contribute to those institutions as well~ I like the idea! They also had nice themes : D Bye bye for now~!
