Someone likes to colour in my continuous line drawings.
Working here on #TEDx with an awesome bunch of people just like me: positive-thinking perfectionists, and it feels like a family. Due to the pandemic, the whole thing has changed locations a handful of times, tickets have been restricted/ returned, and every 3 seconds we wonder if it will even happen. Weirdly, all the uncertainty has an upside: I don’t feel so stressed! I feel just as invested in the quality of my work as I always do, but less invested in whether the event happens exactly the way expected or not. Is there a word for “I have no hope, I have no fear, I am free”?
~ Notes from rehearsal today, yet, really, a motto for life.
A flutey score keeper with a metronome meets a fluid inky improvisor, one line worker.
Will they find the balance between them in time for an audience of 6million?

If you don’t get it yet: I am performing the trailer to my graphic novel DELPHI all in one line.
~ALL IN ONE LINE~
Kalliopi Bolovinou will join me with the classical flute.
So if I look stressed or am not making healthy food choices, I’ll just explain again: trying to birth some overthetop oeuvre over here!
See you from the TEDx stage!

Today I was interviewed by Viktoryia Sinkovec for episode one of her exciting new podcast called ARTY PARTY. We discussed art and drank tea. (Get it? Art Tea Party?) I’ll share the podcast here when it gets released.
Viktoryia is a Belarussian in Belgium, multilingual mother/lawyer/yogini/journalist and art lover. Well, she corrected me, lover in general!
We talked about the arts in Europe, my upcoming live art performance for TEDx. Viktoryia gave me some fantastic breathing techniques to help calm stage fright.
These breathing techniques provided some much needed art therapy for the artist, here.
We had a delicious tea party and a good giggle about her big black microphone.
While we were recording her doorbell rang with a delivery of art supplies!
A great opportunity to do a couple of portraits of her in action.
I did not know she was recording this timelapse video while we were recording a podcast, while I was painting her portrait, while we were drinking tea.
An Arty Party, indeed.
