I’m happy I got the time to make a little holidays drawing this year ! I know most of you are going to unplug for the holidays, so I’m uploading this a bit early before I take a step back myself.

And what better couple for the holidays than my absolute favorite one ? <3 Nothing beats dressing Belle up in period inspired outfits. I spent so much time on the background and it’s all lost in the blurry effect lol :’)

(PLEASE refrain from comments such as « why is there no item to represent [insert princess or movie] in the tree ?? ». They’re not done decorating yet, so don’t be that person )





This year has definitely been a big one for me. Art wise it was a roller coaster, lots of downs, but also some great ups ! My style has evolved a lot in the past two years and I’m very happy with the direction it’s been taking so far, so I will keep going down that road to see where it leads me. There are so many things I’d like to try, so many projects I’d like to start, the road ahead is exciting !

This past summer I’ve been through a big slump/depression/burn-out, call it however you like, it wasn’t fun. But I think I drew some good lessons from this episode and I’ve been learning to say no since. No to unpaid gigs, disrespectful clients, projects that don’t fit me, unfair or badly paid jobs. It’s important to set up boundaries guys, and your limits are your own to define.





Now I try to focus on my own projects and the stuff I like doing the most, and it’s a great feeling. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported me this year ! To you who have commented on my posts with lovely words of encouragement, to you who have sent me emails or DMs to express your appreciation, to you who have purchased merchandise from my stores or commissioned me for your OCs, your wedding and family portraits, to you who have shared my work on social media, to you who fav'd all my posts on FB, and to you silent lurker who comes back day after day (I see you !), THANK YOU. You all make this adventure very unique, and in the moments when all my motivation seems gone, you’re the kick in the butt I need to keep me going.





On a personal level, this year was an amazing one. I got married !!! My friends had told me beforehand that a wedding was a lot of work and I shit you not, IT IS A LOT OF WORK ALRIGHT. But it was amazing and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Cheers to my amazing husband for being the kindest, smartest, most generous and supportive sweet pea a dork like me could ever ask for <3

I’ll be around over the next few weeks but don’t expect much of me during January because we’ll be away frolicking on our honeymoon ! Definitely looking forward to make a massive trip report when we come back.

Until then, take care of yourselves dudes and dudettes ! Have fun, enjoy some « me » time or some family time, hug your pets, hug your friends, don’t drink and drive, sleep well, make the most of your time off if you have any, and don’t forget to love and respect one another, always.

Happy Holidays !
