Beastie boy

This sentence is my own. I just felt that way then.

Today these drawings are dedicated to Romulus who has been nasty beast for 2 weeks. He freaked out when we had one week holiday to Praha and cat sitter was looking after him. So since then he became a protest cat and he keeps on protesting. I don't understand him. Today I had an eye on him and still he managed to poo two times to the floor.  Ofcourse just when I was drawing. Hopefully I ll get situation under control for next week but I am afraid that will not happen. Tried to play, talk and notice him. And he even does it usually after getting food.

I made the first drawing with me and a lion when visiting one old jail museum in Belgium 2008. I left it there as the guest book was just made out of hanging pics on chains. One sad relationship ending was also influensing to this drawing. Then I didn't understand what I know now. Knowledge is always the best help. I wish I could know what's wrong with my sabotage cat.

Welcome new me and rabbit year 2011!

Today is a little bit spring in the air and just so much sun light that you can see that  the windows need cleaning. And I am sitting inside, feeling a bit sad and useless while my cats are busy with bird watching. I am also cat sitting because Romulus has a nasty habit to piss to the floor at least twice a day or always when he wants to protest on something. So meanwhile I noticed that my cat is actually today on a better mood and won't piss, I started to think about my goals in life.

I decided finally to let my self go and write in english even if I am finnish. And for this purpose I wanted to open a brand new blog about creativity. jihaa!!

So hopefully I can now show my works better online. It has been so hard duel with myself to be open about it. If anyone of you would meet me in person you might say oh Silva is so open and talkative. But if its about my works..then I get über shy and closed.

Here in this blog I would like to concentrate completely to things I love ie illustrations and visual things, photograph and little stories about life in Berlin. Yes indeed, I live in Berlin that is so creative and amazing place to be!

"We didn't move to Berlin to become some stupid help desk people", said my boyfriend just when this week Monday I signed a contract to work in online travel agency. I ll get even bonus if I am never sick! What I can say to this. I have maybe failed to network with my graphic design and illustrations skills and to make myself known. I cannot just live with plain love.
Would be so cool to live with just the things I love. I have now until 14.2 time to draw everyday. Then the hard reality will get me in as I will have only 5 hours in a day for myself and for sure I will be eating something too:)  And still here I am sure to be able to do something creative anyway. I have actually done very nice sketches, doodling in my previous money making work in Belgium. There were days when phone didn't ring much and even some conversations with a client made me draw interesting stuff:) So let me hope the best.

Only problem seem to be now to give a name to my blog. So many names I like are already taken,even by me like silvakariina on another site of my portfolio in Blogger. But then I started to draw and voila' there it was born. Silvaxx like some people sing they name in email just xx.
