Sundown

The Goddess of the Hunt (and her best boy)

There'll be a moment when you realise you're 27 when yesterday you were just 17; and you wouldn't be able to tell how a decade passed away and your life got divided into before and afters. The fury of youth will subdue and nothing will really change but everything will feel different when you look at old photographs and blurry videos taken on cheap mobile phones. Scents will remind you of childhood and certain friends you don't talk to anymore, hangouts will become reunions and mom's burnt pie will become the best food you ever had. And I know on some days you won't be able to show anything of those 10 years but I hope you remember to breathe, and let go of the knot in your chest. I hope you go out in the sun and live a little, because tomorrow is 37.

Zephyrus ou Le Brise-Vent

My 2021 entry for my college illustration contest. We were tasked with creating a 5-page illustration children's book. Le Brise-Vent is the story of a young girl who befriends the western wind, Zephyrus. But in inviting it inside her house, faces the damage left by the unruly, uncontrollable wind.

"Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me anymore. It belongs to you." Neil Gaiman, Stardust.

✨ I've loved this movie every 20 times I watched it, and I can only love it more. This scene redraw took time, but I like how it turned out. Tristan and Yvaine, happy together, for a long while...

Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours ! 💕

It's just the Sun smiling baby
