Alderley Edge

Surprisingly sunny day.
Came home with muddy boots.
Worth that.

Catish philosophy

It took 33 years for me to learn being happy. Truly, deeply, completely, profoundly.
It simply means being satisfied with myself. Who knows that better than cats? Learn from them.


 

My desk

One of my 3 creative and messy desks. And quite romantic green cat (acrylics on canvas 4" x 5").

Mask

This is how I feel today. Sleepy, slow and fluid. With Cezaria Evora songs in the air.

"The Mask" Watercolour and acrylic ink on paper.

Smile

Such a lovely sunny Sunday in Manchester. Smiling people. Smiling pavement. Smiling city.

Waiting for a friend

 

I waited for a friend who was stuck in a traffic. I had a lovely half hour of solitude with flowers. It was slowly getting dark. Birds were singing their spring songs. I loved that little garden.

Everything was perfect - garden, colours, sounds, smells and feeling of waiting for a good friend.

Hearts

Yes, I like hearts. I like turquoise. And of course I like red.

Sterling silver, stones.

Destination

Having no destination, 

I am never lost.

Cloud

Looked through some last summer photos. Manchester at nigh. From Cloud 23 bar.

Long days. Short nights... 

Blue

 My new favourite earrings. Sterling silver, stones, freshwater pearls, beads.

It’s so nice
to wake up in the morning

all alone
and not have to tell somebody
you love them
when you don’t love them
any more.

“Love Poem,” Richard Brautigan

Happy Valentine's day!

The Kiss

Edvard Munch "The Kiss" 1897

Rediscovered this fascinating painting. Looking at it I can feel the taste of a real kiss. Munch is great. Nothing more needs to be said.

Everything doesn't have to be perfect.
To idealize is also a form of suffering.

This beach stone was traveling with me through space and time for many years. And one rainy english day it said it wanted to be a Cat. With a little help of a brush its dream came true. Now this is a happy stone Cat.
 

Some people are very happy with what they've ordered. While others always think that the cake is cakier on the other side of the table. 

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."

Mancunian winter

If you're trapped in the dream of the other, you're fucked.

Train talks

On a train from Manchester to Blackpool.
I was reading a book and then my attention was caught by 2 guys talking behind me. They were 20-35 years old, spoke a strong english with accent and as much as I noticed before had middle eastear look.
- Hash is a great shit.
- But that shit smells really bad. How can you smoke that shit?
- Yeah, that shit smells bad, but hash is f***ing great shit!
- Don't smoke that stinky f***ing shit. Sex is better, I'm telling you - sex is much better! Get married!
