Alone Together

Alone Together

Music surrounds us seductively

No words just a sexy melody

The promise of a nice soirée

Under my eyelashes, I glance your way

Your desire stares back openly

Aroused by this urgency

My thoughts become blurry

Sorry, have you spoken to me ?

Was caught up in a naughty fantasy 

Where your mouth was already on me.

You approach with a knowing smile, 

How can you always read my mind?

Your lips answers mines hungrily 

Forget the slow, the lovely

Let’s see if our burning reality 

Can surpass my fantasy.

Underwater

Jellyfish are elegant, graceful and a deadly mystery. Like their airy beauty and the ballet their are dancing underwater.

So tonight it was a peaceful drawing just to remember to take things lightly and to enjoy the beauty of life.

Time to blossom

Time to blossom

Wanted to paint something fast and to try the wet on wet.
So here is my tree!

Spring is coming and it's the moment to say goodbye to the past, to the heavy blankets of shit and enjoy some sun and unexpected surprises!

Mood Indigo

Mood Indigo

I've met a bird that sings of you,

Simply, beautifully, tenderly

With lyrics that makes me blue

Cause they say "I love you."

Like the original version from Duke Ellington as I'm a fan of Jazz.
It's often the music that can keep me company when I draw.
This time, both Tony Bennett and Ella Fitzgerald have my preference. His voice is pur velvet and hers make me want to cry.
I will let you choose what is working best for you...

Cause some nights are just too crazy for words, music speaks better and louder...

Going in circles

Going in circles

Need to break mines 

Too heavy with memories

To fly again, be free

And let you rest and be happy.

;-)

And i was in company of Misguided Ghosts from Paramore.

Sometimes drawing circles is good to relax and can be a good background. Used once for creating some wood impression. Long but nice outcome.
But this time, it was just to kill a bad mood. :-D
That's why I draw too...

Impressions
As an avid reader, I'm attracted by covers at lot.
If I'm just browsing books at the bookstores or the library without any specific tittle in mind, most of the time, it's the cover that will pick up my curiosity and make me read the summary.
And as a professional, I know the power of a good picture combined with words. That's why I was curious about this book and what the author has to tell us.

It's a very simple and effective book that let a large place to the book designers. And it was cool to spot a book, I have read, and have some informations about the designer and how he/she is working.
Also interesting to see that for some designers, I was drawn into their art, sensibily and world regardless of the book. I would have easily picked all their design and be curious about the story.
So, I've learned also a lot about me as a reader just by learning about cover design.

Interesting book for the lovers of design and books.

I received this book in exchange of a fair and honest review.

My sex is killing me!

To share with you a bit of my day, imagine somebody in need of a strong coffee, who almost put her feet on a very long penis drawn on the floor. :-D

Then, more drawings in front of the coffee machine with the words: "My Sex Is Killing Me"... :-D

And of course, on the coffee machine... "You don't know what there is in my panties"

Let me tell you that is a very original way to reflect about life, sex and the transgenre issues!

Tomorrow is the big exhibition and the end of the 4 workshops. Can't wait to see what the students will come up with.

Especially when the one managed by the graphic designer, Valérie Yobé, from Ottawa is already full of surprises.

And don't get me wrong, even if I was smiling while drinking my cup of instant coffee, I'm very amazed by their way of expressing their views on the transgenre problem.
I really like this school and these crazy students!!!
