I'm terrible at promoting these sort of things, but I actually have a little gallery on INPRNT, if you're looking for prints!

Digital painting by Victoria Maderna. Frog in a tutu with wings and a sparkling wand in a pond with waterlilies in the moonlight.

Frog fairy. The most magical of critters.

thank you, Karyn! :)

Illustration. Girl, branches, red flowers.

Dish soap, gouache, biro pen. From sketchbook to photoshop. I'm trying to be more present here and on Instagram. #kidlitart

It's back to work next week. I'm trying to be organized and all, but the focus is not there! :)

Pencil drawing, the lady in the Lake holding Excalibur. Lilly crowned, with lilies around her in the water. A crescent moon above and below her, reversed.

More recent drawing because older work is a bit haunted for me (and not in a Good way) Here is the Enchantress at the pencil stage. This was for the Arthurian Tarot.

Highly recommend reading. I started following Natalia years ago on Twitter - initially for the palaeo content. But I soon discovered that because their background and life experiences were very different to mine, I could learn SO much more from their posts than “just” science. Really opened my eyes.

A blood mage twirling blood around his body like a ribbon. He seems to be hugging himself, holding his shoulder which shows a skeleton arm. He’s an elf but does not appear young ; rather a little frail but in control of his movements and elegant posture. He’s wearing a white dress with gold accents.

When everything dies
Will you be lonely ?

Thank you!! I'll check it out 😊

Happy New Year!
Let's start asking questions, shall we? I'd like to use One Second Every Day again, but the free option doesn't seem to include the journal anymore...
Are there other similar apps worth checking out? Grazie :)

For Christmas Eve I made Tiramisù Ornaments in a white chocolate shell.
Then the Mouse King decided to visit... 😊😋

Buon Natale, Joanne!! :)

And this morning the Shed is a banqueting hall, with a table set for feasting, and a great log fire in the hearth, and wine in crystal goblets, and the scent of baking, and cedar, and pine, and the sound of distant laughter…

Catching up on The Bear S.2 (yup, super behind...) The whole romantic bits with Strange Currencies as a soundtrack? Seriously? As if I don't love this show enough already... 😍

oh gosh! The cats are marvelous!!💙 I remember when your kids were tiny...😍

thank you, Michelle! She quite the handful... 😂

We don't have a tree or decorations this year, but we have the cutest kitty! :D
Happy Holidays

there were a few things that I wasn't totally convinced, but I enjoyed it A LOT! Lenny and Williams are my fav side characters :)

Yes! I have one more ep. to go. I always skip trailers because they give away too much. 😊

I'm easily pleased when it comes to spy movies and shows, but Black Doves isn't half as bad as I was anticipating!

I lived in Milan for a long time and I used to love it. Now I appreciate the quiet simplicity of a smaller town, even tho I sometimes wish I could move to a slightly larger place.
In small doses, I appreciate the energy of the city and what it has to offer. Once in while... :)

Over the years I've developed a Love/Hate relationship with Milan. Most of the times I enjoy the energy of the city, but sometimes I feel like Mr Meeseeks in Rick&Morty - I must do everything as quickly as possible and then return to the void because existing there is painful! 😱😂

A monochromatic sketch page of various fantasy characters. Most of them have horns. The textures and brush strokes are clearly visible and all 4 characters are portrayed from a side view.

This character sketch page is still one of my personal favorites
