“Research shows that hugging is extremely effective at healing sickness, disease, loneliness, depression, anxiety and stress”…do you need an hug?

Merry Christmas everyone!

Here we are! Christmas is just round the corner, doesn’t matter if you’ll celebrate it watching the snow fall on swimming in the sea (although is so weird for me thinking to an hot-Christmas)…we want to wish you a wonderful Christmas.

Teenager again

Stucked in a sleepless night, watching cats around sleeping and the dog snoring, I decided to try the function “SHUFFLE BY YEAR” on my mp3 player, and rediscovered how good was the 1992: Bon Jovi, Ugly Kid Joe, Soul Asylum and above all the Stone Temple Pilots.
That’s how an annoying night turned into a time travel.

Ink spots

It’s a raining Friday evening, sky’s completely white, wind’s blowing and a seagull’s flying free above my head…it make me wonder of a perfect life.

Today a perfect life is strictly connected to a perfect bow window to sit on and read a good book, with Asia beside me and Alice on my lap, the notes of a Do Wop song are in the air and a cup of warm tea is waiting for me. I watch outside and see trees shaked by the breeze…the view of the rough sea of the Gulf isn’t too far away.

Actually the view from my window isn’t so exciting, the Gulf isn’t far away but not visible from here, I can’t drink tea for a while, the book I am reading is a thriller about a serial killer (not exactly Pride and Prejudice)…but Asia is sleeping beside me and Alice on my lap and thank Youtube The Ink Spots are singing for me.

At least ink spots are not just something an illustrator fears.

White rabbit syndrome

Sunday morning, time for work…my White Rabbit Syndrome is getting worst day after day.
I can’t open my eyes at morning and the “feeling late” is already there waiting for me!

The courier that was supposed to come within Friday morning to take the bad printed mousepads (just 20 on 26!) didn’t come, the email I was supposed to receive within Thursday to replace a bad printed planner and three notebooks didn’t arrive…more complaints to do tomorrow, a lot of extra stress to menage.
Especially because I already have myself many things to do before the end of the month…it took me one week to make a picture to show all the Christmas postcards available in my shops, that’s not good at all!

So it’s better to use my spare time to recover all the works I left behind…”time is precious I know”.

Culture Club – Time (Clock Of The Heart)

What’s going on?

Something is not working here.
I spend so much time trying to realize some pretty gadgets for Christmas and printers are driving me crazy not answering to my emails, is that a professional?
- A blue flower misteriously appeared on my brand new Japanese notebook covers…can a cherry blossom be blue?? No reply.
- On October 13th I asked for a quotation to print: mugs, cotton shoppers, and mousepads. They keep saying “tomorrow”.
-The puncher I had to buy in Germany because I need pretty small holes on my Christmas tags arrived and surprise! Holes got not the right diameter (3,2 mm.), but they make 6 mm. holes.

WHAT’S GOING ON???

Marvin we’ve got to find a way To bring some lovin’ here today…definetely!
