my most recent video!
it's about a camping trip i made in june of 2025
this is the first time i decided to take my tripod with me on a holiday and i have zero regrets
i especially love the parts where i made the effort to prop it up next to me and film my drawing/creative processes! those moments themselves were already so nice, but to have good footage of it makes the moment shine even more to me! making shots of my surroundings with the tripod felt so natural and i loved taking it around with me, although i did leave it in the tent whenever we would go on longer walks and ended up relying on some warp stabiliser afterwards to fix most of the (unintentional) shaking ;)
this wasn't the first time for me to incorporate little drawings of mine into the video, but i felt the need to push myself a little more this time to make small animations. they accompany you while watching the video log!
i felt a little rushed to make this video and hurried to work on the next one! that's because i'm sitting on a huge backlog of footage and have so many ideas for new videos!
after the making of this video, i really am considering to buy a higher quality camera!!! the shots are so nice, but on a big screen you can feel the loss of pixels that should have been there. i started out with this handycam to make my editing life easier, the files lighter, the threshold lower, but i feel like i've absolutely officially outgrown it </3
this 'comic' was a project i did for the battle of the bits,


this is an invitation to my housewarming i made! i love playing around with mixed media and i feel like this really shows that off!



the participants had one month to complete a 'one page comic', very fun!!
mine was drawn by hand with a glass dip pen and some brown ink, later on i scanned the drawings and put the comic together with some halftone patterns to give the panels some borders
^ some drawings i've recently made :)

this is a poster i made as a present for ramses' (my bf's nephew) first birthday!
all the drawings were drawn by hand on paper, scanned in and coloured in with various textures and existing photos
