Happy Friday! Time for another Fun Pax Fact--this time, about Pax's drool, as he has 3 stages of drooling... Stage 1: The Bubble -- when his drool takes on the form of a soap bubble, though it tends to pop quite quickly. Stage 2: The (Leaky) Faucet -- when Pax's drool drips steadily to the floor (forming tiny puddles). Stage 3: The Shoelace -- when Pax's drool hangs...
This is the first time I've illustrated fully my own fantasy cover*, and I have to admit that I had a blast doing it! Growing up, I wanted to be a 2D animation artist, so over the years, I've subscribed to a LOT of art courses (though most of them I have yet to finish--my to-do list is immense at this stage). My struggle has always been that I want things to look...
Happy Friday!! Ever since his back operation, Pax cannot climb up and down any sofa or large chair on his own anymore (nor is he allowed to climb up and down the stairs). So instead, we got him a ramp! Tbh, he was really scared of it at first. But now he's got it down, and loves to sleep on the sofa, with his head resting on the top of the ramp 🙂 PS: I was trying...

EN: Happy Friday! Though we're going through another insane heat wave over here in Belgium, Pax is always up for a game of chase-me-to-get-the-ball! But the ball *has* to be squishy, or he won't be able to play well with it! (Unfortunately, the store no longer sells these balls, so it's his last one...and the bad thing about it being squishy is that he destroys it...

I'm hereby launching what I hope to be a series of whort webtoons (hence the chibits) inspired by my writing adventures--these were initially only meant to be shared via my newsletter, but they're a little image-intensive, so I'll be posting them here instead. I hope you enjoy these mini-tales!
Both Steven Pressfield and Elizabeth Gilbert speak of daemons in their works The War of Art and Big Magic, daemons being the benevolent outside forces that guide our thoughts and hands to create art and stories and music... Our muses, if you will, but in a very personal sense. It is called flow or being in the zone in modern speak, but these two descriptors fall, in...
Steven Pressfield discusses in his book, The War of Art*, the impact of our own inner Resistance on our desires to accomplish our dreams. Resistance with a capital R, because there's nothing stronger to stop us from accomplishing our dreams than our own inner voice, an inner voice that does everything in its power to hold us back, chiefly out of fear. But... "Fear...
Over two years ago, an idea popped into my head: To write and illustrate a children’s book inspired by my dog Pax. I temporarily dropped the idea (being in the midst of my fourth rewrite of a trilogy…which I am now starting from scratch. Again.), until Pax lost the use of his hind legs. The pain and trials he went through, before and after surgery, made my heart...
