Finished reading: The Anxious Person’s Guide to Non-Monogamy by Lola Phoenix 📚

If there was a book for me right now, it is this. Loving and emphatetic, sometimes hard to follow but definitely worth a read

Finished reading: The Mimicking of Known Successes by Malka Older 📚

Steps to make a cozy detective mystery interesting:

1) make setting interesting, say, human colony on platforms between the rings of Jupiter ✅

2) make me care about the characters. Even better, make them lovable and to have shared sexual tension ✅

Mission accomplished

Norwegians have a weird sense of what is edible

A bag of potato chips. Label says – and sadly the label is correct – ”dill pickle” taste.

Happy fountain pen day to everyone!

Empty page of a draft book. One Pilot Parallel, one Kaweco Sport and four Lamy Safari’s (one of them is really AL-star)

It is wet, gray, and warm in Helsinki. Capturing the beauty of it is hard but not impossible

View out of my kitchen/living room window. The faint light coming from streetlights show glimpses of my furniture. Street lights peek through fog they were old stars

Inktober day 31 – award. I deserve this

#inktober

Quick fountain pen draft of a metal cup with embossing of roman numeral I on the side

Inktober day 30 – vacant

Abandoned hotel in desert. Sign says no vacancy but even the rats left years ago

Inktober day 29: Lesson

Person in a dress pointing at a whiteboard. There is a word ”õppetund” on the board. Õppentund is Estonian for ”a lesson”

There is giant rock or is it a giant skull on top of a bed rock and three smaller rocks that look a bit like vertebrae. A humanoid shape robot is collecting something to its mining cart

Two onions that kind of look like a heart together&10;&10;Fineliner pen

Inktober day 26: puzzling

#inktober

Wall of rock (of a mountain). There is a massive closed door with some runes. By the door there is a wizard thinking of the puzzle that is the door. There is a lake and something peaks through the surface of the water.

Inktober day 25: inferno

#inktober

Getting harder and harder to motivate myself. There are six days and two interesting prompts left. This was supposed to be watercolour + ink on top but after the draft I couldn’t bother

Rough scenes of hell. Fire. Screaming people. People on top of stone pilara

Extremely rough or rowdy sketch of a rowdy scene:&10;&10;Two building, a small crowd making noises and setting of fireworks

Rough idea of a dragonfly sitting on top of a pole

Day 22 inktober: button

#inktober

Two giant buttons and two little humans pushing them lovingly

Inktober day 21: blast

Suggestion of a mushroom cloud in negative space. Mostly horizontal and vertical lines creating a space where we see the flash of the explosion

Inktober day 20: rivals

Quick draft fineliner on paper: shock revelation from behind the scenes: knight Sir Dragonhunter kissing the lovely old dragon lady of the fire mountains

Inktober day 19 arctic

#inktober

Thin lines of ink suggesting a group of people walking through a snowy landscape pulling sleds. Some dried up winter flowers in front

Inktober day 18: deal

#inktober

Draft book. Ink drawing with underlying pencil support lines showing&10;&10;Thumb and other fingers dealing a card towards the horizon. Two other cards already flying through space

At some point I enjoyed one of those extreme survivor type of TV shows. Then they went to Finnish Lapland and survived “extreme harsh winter” weather that wouldn’t have even made trams run late in Helsinki
