I got released from the hospital about three weeks ago and have stayed at my parents for a while. Right now I still have a lot of recovering to do, and I haven’t drawn as much as I wanted to. I did however make this one drawing in the hospital when my IV once again got shifted from one arm to the other.
All went well, no complications during surgery and only a minor pneumonia after (which caused no problems). I went home after 9 days with a feedingtube still attached. Recovery will take time, hopefully I can spent much of it drawing.

Some time ago I started doing my own injections. The weekly trip to the doctor’s office did cost me too much energy, plus, I needed a bit more than just once per week. I asked about self-injection and they explained to me how it worked and immediately let me do it. After a few tries there, they gave me everything I needed to do the shots at home.
I’ve had a few moments, in which I felt pretty light-headed and mostly thought ‘Why did I want to do this!’, however, mostly it goes pretty good. I feel proud of myself, I have conquered my fear of needles.

Nano loves this toy, we play with it on a daily basis. She learned to catch it in the air (sometimes) and gets really excited when I take it out to play.

Once I went to the zoo, in the middle of the winter. I did some drawing and purchased a mascot. It looks like a sock monkey and feels very nice and soft.

Nothing beats that magic of first ink on paper.

After some searching I managed to find my little booklet. I got out my pens and started drawing. I had a hard time drawing my keys. My dog kept on interrupting me because she didn’t like that I had more attention for my silly pen and some paper than for her. She tried chewing on my pen while I drew and I finally managed to distract her long enough with some treats.

I’ve had this backpack for I while, but had never drawn it before. During a cleaning-spree I found little Kenny-the-keychain and hung him on my backpack. He frequently suffers attack from my dog and other dogs, that love to check him out, leaving me screaming “OH MY GOD, DON’T KILL KENNY!!”. I don’t scream too often though.

Very happy with how the backpack turned out.

A while back I ordered some tools for carving. I also bought a rubber eraser to carve in. My first try-out for a hand-carved rubber stamp turned out pretty good.

The proportions are off, but hey.

A funny thing to draw…

I bought this shoulderbag in some shop at the airport on my way to Rome. I drew it while we flew there.

Maybe one day I’ll draw some leaves.

I crossed the line with this drawing… I never dared to draw over the fold.

Drawn on my Eurotrip last year.

My first watercoloured drawing in my large Moleskine. Also my first drawing in a long time.

A bookmark used in my old journal.
