The Music Gods of the Internet will judge me for this, but it's 2026 and I feel like admitting I do enjoy stomp-clap-hey tunes.

Every time I visit Tallinn I go to the same antique book store and look for Soviet era kid's books. This time I found this farm animals board book with incredible textures from 1966, and this 1985 circus-themed story book with some Yellow Submarine-like stylizations. #illustration #kidlit

A full weekend of moving houses. Planning not to move for the next 20 years, thank you very much.

One thing I've enjoyed a lot in 2025 is rediscovering how much I enjoy music - going back to bands from my teen years, finding new acts, going to gigs, keeping up with releases. Being open to new genres and performers has been such an energy boost!

Second batch of 2025 Folktale Week. Prompts: Charm, Storm and Dawn #folktaleweek #folktaleweek2025 #illustration

Folktale Week 2025 is over and it was a good way to get back into doing some illustration work after a slow period. Here are the illustrations for the first four days: Night, Echo, Rain and Book. #folktaleweek #folktaleweek2025 #illustration

I had a dream that a crow-man told me "you software skills are okay, now you need to focus on your artistry". And I'm not sure if I should listen to that specter of anxiety, or totally ignore it 😆

I find Colossal's work really interesting. At the same time, I feel that their public outreach is led by PR stunts, which puts the accuracy of the science communication in the background, and that really bothers me.

Also, I've been really impressed by the level at which theatricality had an influence during the French Revolution (and Reign of Terror). And I feel like there's a certain level at which the spectacle and reality TV are playing a role right now. Case in point: yesterday's performance.

I guess it's a good moment to finally check this book out.

It's shameful that the USA doesn't understanding how much it gets from having security deals, cultural impact, and diplomatic alliances. Never before have I seen so many of my friends here in Europe talking about boycotting USA products. "America first" is quickly becoming "America alone".

I've seen a few posts about the sizes that work well for the new Instagram grid, and while I do think they are useful in their own right, I strongly urge you to make art in whatever format and size you want. Social media shouldn't dictate how you create.

Also, regarding the 'contact someone' part - is it time to make address books a thing again?

Uninstalled Instagram for the time being from my phone. The 'Ad break' functionality is realky grinding my gears (plus, you know, the whole Meta political pirouette doesn't make it feel nicer). If I need to use it for work or to contact someone, web interface feels less intrusive.

My grandparents had all the episodes of Walking with Dinosaurs (dubbed in Bulgarian) recorded on a VHS tape for me, and I played that thing constantly on repeat as a kid whenever I visited them. Needless to say – I'm so incredibly excited to see this new release!!

So glad for people to get to see some of the animals I've spent the past couple of years looking after! I had the wonderful opportunity to design the looks of many of the species, and have worked on each animal in detail across the VFX process. Walking with Dinosaurs premieres later in 2025!

I know this sentiment is well shared, but every once in a while I think about how beautifully powerful and inspiring these paintings are.

I'm very interested in how totalitarianism erupts. To be able to understand, I'm listening to this series (4 episodes): open.spotify.com/episode/2oF6...

Well, that came up in Stories too 🫠

Instagram blocked my scroll so I can watch an ad post for 5 secs, calling that an "Ad break". Thanks, I hate it. 🫠

I've been looking at some old sketches in my messy sketchbooks. I realized I should share some that are not work-related if I can't share what I am working on right now. Well..some random stuff for now!

I got an email that one of my projects got featured on Behance Photoshop gallery, and some ago I would have been chuffed to see that in my inbox. But is Behance even used anymore? I feel like it has just lingered there same as Dribbble without much impact, but maybe I'm wrong?

How do people feel about managing own online shop on platform like Squarespace vs Etsy? I've been trying Etsy but it feels 1. too crowded and 2. actually a bit of a letdown when it comes to managing taxes and finances. #illustration

Last week's character collection #kidlit #kidlitart I think I'll now set that aside and enjoy some family time around the holidays - the whole thing with these started as a bit of self-therapy, and I'd like to keep the spirit of it by being away from the iPad for a moment.

Train-ride. Could have made sth more but I spent the whole day, well, in a train travelling to Lapland 😌 #kidlit #kidlitart

Every time I come across anything about the Temnospondyls, I feel that's the name of a band similar to They Might Be Giants, but playing paleo-themed music.
