Alexa, playĀ āThe Bitch Is Backā by Elton John
Long time, no see, huh? How long has it been? Months? Maybe even years at this point? Who knows. Anyway. How are you? Itās been a while since Iāve last posted on this blog or even checked any kind of notifications, messages or what notā¦ But, you know, life happened. Adulthood happened. Capitalism is still happening and for all of those reasons I kinda left my passion for painting behind. All that has mattered in the last couple of years was work, dealing with my emotional inner fuckery that Iāve been struggling with since forever and that horrible dread of hustling just to stay relevant in some matter for longer than 2 days.
2018 for me was the year of the ultimate revelations. I finally understood what kind of life I want to live. I learned how to care less about irrelevant things, how to accept myself, how to deal with my train of thoughts, feelings, Iāve learned what things make me really happy and which trigger my anxiety and depressive episodes. Thatās some basic life shit, you might say, but see, the thing is that for most of my life even simple tasks seemed very big for me. They still do in some aspects but I feel like Iām controlling them more now than I did in the past.
Iām more tranquil now. I donāt stress over my social media feeds anymore. I donāt stress about forcing myself into doing something that Iām not 100% feeling, either. That state of acceptance was very hard to achieve but I did it! Yay! :D
What did come with all of these inner changes and what does this have to do with art, blog, eventual Instagram revival?Ā Well, everything. First of all I felt like deleting most of the art I made in the past few years. I guess itās a common thing within us, artists, but I really needed to cut ties. Iāve left some bits and pieces on this very blog but my old IG profile is now gone, so is my old Twitter account. I needed a fresh start, you know? And the beginning of the new year seemed the best timing to do so. That being saidā¦ here we go with some conclusions and future plans:
- Iāll keep this blog only for hobby/occasional commissions purposes. I want it to be a nice place where I can inconsistently share my art, doodles, even more updated tips about painting, graphic design, info about art and techniques, etc.
- Iāll change my url soon. Give me a couple of days, so everybody knows about it, lol!
- My new Instagram is @ queenofbohemia.art ! Follow me there, if you want to! Itās empty at the moment but Iāll slowly start uploading new stuff very soon.
- Same with Twitter. Follow me @ QUEENOFBOHEMlA (copy and paste because the bigĀ āiā is actually a smallĀ āLā) if you want to! :D
- Content. Letās talk about content. Iām sorry if you followed me for some specific fandom stuff that Iāve delivered only a few times and then switched to another obsession. Thatās just how my weird brain works. I canāt keep drawing the same subjects and using the same style for more than a few months because I just get bored and frustrated, and it always ends up with me failing to make and upload new art at all. Soā¦ letās pass that, shall we? I donāt have a distinctive style as many great artists on this platform and probably will never have one. Iām just here for funsies, ya feel me? Haha, alright. Thatās it.Ā
- Also if you wanna follow my side blog just for fun, memes, fandom stuff and relatable content, here you go @queenofbohemia
Have a nice one, lads! See you soon!

Meanwhile Iām trying to figure out how to use oil colours again... here comes my new oc Lucy! I want to work out on myĀ āstyleā this year since I donāt have one yet. Iāve been trying so many things since the beginning of my art journey and honestly the struggle is still real. Itās even hard to hide that bitter jealousy inside me towards those artists, young and older ones, whom already have a distinctĀ āart style markā and are able to make a living from what they are creating on a daily basis. Itās not the right time for complaining, though. 2018 is gonna be the year in which Iāll get my shit together and make as much art as I can to find my own style! Today Iām coming at you with Lucy, a new oc that I roughly sketched a couple of days ago and decided to full colour the day after. I wanted to go in a more illustrative direction, not necessarily realistic (in therms of anatomy, for example) as I may have done in some of my past drawings and paintings.
Also itās the second time that Iāve ever tried to paint people of colour. Obviously Iām not a racist, I just donāt know how to paint darker skin tones properly, so thatās why there wasnāt that much diversity in my people drawings. Hope this will change this year as well, because I honestly think that all people are beautiful, no matter how dark or light their skin tone is and everybody needs representation in arts.
That being said, hope you like it! See ya soon with another painting!Ā āØ Ā
