I've always wanted to paint something like this.

THIS looked better in my head.
I had this idea while I was making the names poster. I was planing on making something different but end up doing this instead. It was... should I say interesting? I really don't know.

{The Strokes Nails}

I paint my nails. A lot.
Since I've been listening to The Strokes for the last couple of months, why not paint my nails with something related?
The logo was kind of difficult since my smallest brush is in a really bad conditions but I think I pulled it out. Final piece:
Materials:
  • Black Nails Polish.
  • Acrylics {Red, White}
  • Top Coat.

{Keep Calm and...}


I enjoy dyeing paper with coffee.
I was trying to go for the old yellowing look here so basically what I did was torn all the border of the paper, dyed it with instant coffee and burned the borders. After that, I printed the letters I wanted to put in the paper and use a fountain pen to paint them:

This is not gonna be mine, it's for a friend that really likes Harry Potter and I felt like doing a little something for her. I think I'm going to glue a white or black feather but here is the final piece:

Materials:
  • Instant coffee.
  • Black fountain pen.
  • Fire {I used my stove}.
  • Canson.

{Julian & Fab & Nick & Albert & Nikolai}


Going back to The Strokes now.
I've been wanting to do something like a this for a real long time. For some reason I enjoy simple, typography posters and The Strokes have this pretty awesome desktop background featuring their names in white font over a black background. It's really simple, just the way I like it. So I decided to paint it to have it as a small poster:
I think I will be making more like this. My fountain pen died when I was starting this ugh! but anyways, here is the final piece:
Materials:
  • Acrylics.
  • Canson.
