There is a certain parallel. When I was learning to tattoo on pigskin, I ended up with my hands shaking from grief – and realizing that I needed to learn to paint first. I've been painting for three years now, the feeling that I can't paint keeps settling inside me (but that's not the point, I paint for pleasure after all) – [...]

I am not a full-time artist. But I got a commission for a painting when a lot is happening in my life. At night I clicked through a few blogs of my inspirations (Diana Kassim, Martin – even after years I can't put his name together, probably revenge for people not getting mine) and read their thoughts, what's running through their heads.
