Hello dears,

Today I have a little video for you...short and little in other ways too. I did it for a zine invitation by Ana Goldberg who's also got a Patreon, and a YouTube, by the way. For personal reaons she had to leave behind many things dear to her. Hence the theme for the zine: "Our most cherished items and why we keep them". In this video I share about mine.

Also, this video is a sneak preview on an illustration style I'm working on and building new visual language for. And...I colored this one digitally...practising a bit as digital drawing is very helpful these days.

I hope this video finds you well and if you're in the European heat wave like me, hold on! Tomorrow it will better.

And do let me know what you think of this illustration style. I'm SO curious....

Oh, and before I forget...Ana Goldberg's links in case you're interested:

Much love, Mandy
