With a bittersweet feeling I'm now announcing that commissions will be closed for the following months. I've got hired to a full time position, I find it hard to jungle two jobs, especially with my carpal tunnel hand. Also just like many artists I have "background" personal projects that I want to keep developing, thus my remaining energy , from my main job, will be devoted to those projects.


Of course the clients that have ALREADY reserved a slot (and are active) will be served, I always keep my word.


I wanted to make this post mostly in order to say a BIG THANK YOU to all the people, clients and watchers that had supported me so far. I want you to know that in my eyes I consider many of you friends and associates, and not just faceless source of fame and cash. I also really believe that I'm extremely lucky, I have never been mistreated by any client, never scammed either, so the least I could do is to return the favour and draw with all my will and passion your beautiful ideas.


Adding to that, my personal pieces might be limited too, but rest assured that

I will be somewhere honing my skills, waiting for the day I will be back to my beloved supporters.


Nevertheless if you want to stay tuned about me and my progress, make sure to follow me on Artstation and Twitter. Cause enough with the drama, I ain't gonna disappear, I will just be lurking in secret works and projects ;)


Thank you once again everyone, till next time, love and kisses! Muah~ u3u

That being said, SADLY, I can't work for a few days and when I start again I HAVE to be slow. Nevertheless I will give my 100000% for every second I put into art for you, for me, for art.

Oh the drama but it's true, I officially manage to damage my good hand. Reasons? I draw without breaks AT LEAST 8 hours per day and when I stop, I play video games ha ha...

So yeah I guess it reached its limit.


Long story short what started as a slight discomfort evolved into a slight pain and then into a sharper pain that destroyed my good night sleep for a few days. Let's get to the point, I've got my splint, I've got my cortisone shots, I've got my pills and I'm visiting a doctor in a few days again.

I want to humble thank all my friends and clients who keep supporting me through the years, I promise I will recover and serve you again to the fullest.


If you want to stay updated on the matter feel free to follow me at twitter

I will make sure to update here with major updates too.


That's all...


....meanwhile I'm literally training my left hand to draw as well...cause you never know what future holds for any of us.


Thank you all




UPDATE 19/10/2020


Good news, after dozens of pills, medical patches, hot water baths and a lot of caution and care, my hand is better! I can draw again, maybe a bit slower, but I'm getting faster each day.


Apparently I will be wearing this splint every time I'm on the pc for at least 6 more months! So yeah gotta get used to it. Either way, I'm glad my hand is usable again and I want to thank all of you for your support!


Expect new art soon! Cheers~

Ahh what a great time at beautiful Lemnos~ Even though I was decently inspired there, I barely drew, I decided to fully enjoy the sea, the animals and the good food, thus I stashed away my pens and pencils :P And NOW I'm fully refreshed, replenished all my energy, motivation and inspiration!


I'm very excited to be back and I can't wait to start drawing at my cozy home workplace, not even kidding. *grabs pen*


Thank you all for your patience and for supporting me even during my vacation time, really appreciated!


So back to work! Stay tuned for upcoming pieces

Hello peeps~


A quick update, I'm leaving for vacations today, going once again to the wonderful island Lemnos.

Fear not though, I will still be active and work on commissions and art studies. The pace will be slightly slower but nothing too critical.

Brb gotta pack my stuff now cause I have a 12 hours ship trip, killmenow


Thank you all for your support and patience. <3

Hello again!

How time flies, I've been focusing a lot at honing my skills, and I still do BUT now I've decided it is a good time to open commissions, I'm sorry I had them closed for soooooo long but it was a matter of personal improvement as an artist (and a person)


That being said the journal has been updated

Some prices changed, and some remained the same.


The process is the same, make sure you check my latest artworks so you know the current style I follow, things change a bit over the years and I wanna make sure my older clients are aware of that.


I'm actually very excited to return back to you guys and serve you wholeheartedly for as long as I can last. Feel free to note me if you are interesting in getting artwork from me, I have already started reserving spots for some old faithful ones :p


Till next time!
