PONS is doing great. Is that site also run by AI now? Instead of translation it does rhymes now.

Growing a new habit with some of our hens - they like to stand on my shoulder while I'm scooping their poop!

As my Spanish is advancing, I'm now reading chapter books and am feeling quite proud about it. I finished reading this one last night:

Read In Limbo by @jdebbiel.bsky.social yesterday and ohhh it was good. Highly recommend!

Picopaco has been sitting on my desk for over a week now. It’s here. Finally. And it’s real. Very real. Or is it? Can you see it too?

Picopaco hits the shelves this spring, on April 3rd. You can preorder it now (which would be of great help!) here: flyingeyebooks.com/book/picopac...

Thank you!!

I'm changing my profile picture across all online platforms, so here it is! I made a lot of earthworm friends this year, as I worked in our vegetable garden. I like to hold them and watch them stretch and shrink. Some are super slimy, too!

I sharpen them with a regular sharpener but store all the shavings in separate containers so I can still use them later on!

This week's comic #mojcica is one of my favourite ones, drawing-wise. It's about my teeth (which I'm terribly conscious of now as an adult but had a completely different feelings about as a kid).

It publishes this Thursday!

Here is a mock up of my calendar for next year!!
It's currently in print and I plan on putting it online by the end of this month, if all goes as planned.

Excited for this one!

I think I found a good place to trust my art prints with!

I want to do a nice shop update by the end of the year, including this fine Mr. Mole to be the star of the shop's display window!

Yay!

An intense over the weekend kind of project represents a new zine! If the process wasn't so fun and my expectations low, I wouldn't have had it finished so quickly. It's about ulnar tunnel entrapment and how I now call Ulnar my friend.

This is how my sketch to finished art looks like when I draw my Childhood Memories comics. What I focus at in the sketch stage is the idea and the feeling I want to capture. Then I redraw the lines, fixing it here and there to make it neater.

Hope that's helpful!

Today's Childhood Memories comic is about (almost) joining a school choir with my fellow shy classmate. You can read it here: mocculere.substack.com/p/comic-63-c...

I found these two lovely feathers yesterday while taking a walk in a gorge where lots of vultures live. Besides the vultures I've spotted wood pigeons too, but I don't think any of these belong to them. 🪶 Anyone has any clue?

(I tried google lens but no good matches were found)

So happy with how this illustration turned out 🌸💖

I was commissioned to illustrate a poem by Ana Svetel, which tells a story of a butterfly painter, who wakes up at dawn to prepare their paints and brushes.

It was such a fun project to work on with so little pressure that I felt like a little kid!

Today's comic is about a picnic basket that contained a set of (let me exaggerate here) fine porcelain (end of exaggeration) cups, plates and even a teapot!

My sister has most of our toys stored in her house now and she sent me these photos this morning ❤️
