De Moirai (English: Moirae or The Fates) Are three personifications of Destiny. They controlled the thread of life of every mortal from birth to death.
From left to right they are:
Clotho: She spun the thread of life and controlled your birthplace.
Lachesis: She measured the thread of life.
Atropos: She cut the thread of life and chose the way a person died.
In the Art Nouveau circle there are represented the stages of life.
In the left upper corner Herakles brings Alkestis back from the dead and in the right upper corner Orpheus wants to save his love Eurydice from the underworld but was forbidden to look at her until they reached the sunlight. He however can't resist to look so therefor loses her again...

Another commission of that is a gift for a friend of hers. (so nice! ) The characters are Miko and Chrome.

I have been working on setting up the new exhibition in the Amsterdam Historical Museum. It's about men and fashion and it opens October first. I have been so busy with it for the last couple of weeks!!! But it has been so great working with all the suits and gorgeous historical costumes.
One of the things I did was helping young designers put their outfits on mannequins. Just dressing them up and styling the clothing made me view the folds of the clothing very thoroughly. I saw how folds work when a person takes a specific pose. It has been so helpful for my drawings! I never would have imagined.
I really learned that for an artist it is extremely important to sometimes just look at things again very thoroughly to see how it all works.

This afternoon I recieved a very special package in the mail. It was a gift from containing a letter, magnets with art created by her and a comic of the Last Unicorn signed by none other than Peter S. Beagle himself!!! I nearly died of happyness!
The Last Unicorn is very special for me, and when *kuroitenshi13 found that out she immediatly proposed to get an autograph when she would see mr. Beagle at Otakon! So she got and send it to me and even included her extremely cute magnets! All out of kindness! I was so happy!
Since I couldn't express my happyness in words I decided to draw her a picture of her Sailor Moon character Seiya and her Sailor Moon OC Sailor Titan. I hope you like it *kuroitenshi13 you have no idea how happy I am right now!
I'd also like to thank her for learning me so much about soft shading and how to make pretty linearts in SAI, she really helped me through her own Livestream (You should all go see it!) and when watching my Livestream and giving me tips. Thank yoouuuu!!!!!!!!

In july I was asked by Joanne Renaud (aka *suburbanbeatnik), one of the editors of Dark Valentine magazine if I would like to draw an artwork for the story April Love.
The story is set in the 1850s, and it's about an artist who kills the low-class boyfriend of the girl that he's painting.
I finished this in july but now that the autumn issue is out, featuring this story and my artwork I was able to submit it here on DeviantArt.
