82 Nights - an art book project
When my first child was born, everything revolved around motherhood, and taking care of the baby and myself. That meant that art was put on a back burner for a little while. So after my second son was born in 2014, I was really worried that this would happen again, that it would once again mean a very long break from art. And for a little bit it was almost impossible to make the time for drawing, but I was determined. I decided to draw a small inked illustration each day starting in October. The best time to work was in the period of time after I put the kids to bed but before I fell asleep myself. That meant I have found myself drawing late at night.
The images started simple, but soon, they evolved into something more intricate. The further I got in the sketchbook, the more I wanted to fill every single page with a lovely image. Somehow, the whole 82 page book got filled up. I’ve decided to publish them as a little book, so I could share them with people who’ve helped encourage me. Here are some of the pages from the book, 82 Nights.
