3rd of Blaugust 2025 - I just learned about Blaugust Several things are conspiring to ruin my plans for today. The weather being one of them, or at least the straw that broke the cammels back. But I didn't start this post to complain. I found a silver lining while catching up on the blogs I follow. This post form iam.skoo.bz was talking about taking part in Blaugust which immediately peaked my…
I've tried to do Inktober a few time in the past year. The daily schedule is too much for me even with planning in advance. But I found out there's a weekly version called Inktober52. That seem way more doable for me so I subscribed to the prompt newsletter . So here we go! I won't promise I'll do all weeks or that I won't be late sometimes. But this seems fun! 32. PUNK - (gold star for who can…
I've never seen Furnace Street so full of life! I almost didn't go due to a really bad migraine but curiosity was stronger than it. And I'm so glad I did. When they saiad the events are taking place in the steet I wasn't expecting this. I don't know what I was expecting, maybe a few people and stands. But this felt like a big party. For context, this street is usually dead. It's been somewhat more…
I always had a fascination with the furnace so when I saw that there was going to be a tour I knew I had to be the first in line! Ok, not the first. That's too early, I don't function in the morning. But I set out to be there at 11ish. I got there at around 11:20 and got scheduled to go in with the 12:00 group. That gave me some time to walk around the Art and Industry Salon and take my time…
Who says you can't be a tourist AND stay in your home town at the same time? Also, bonus points for visiting objectives that don't exist anymore. Let me explain: part of the old town Resita was razed to build some big boy industry back in the '70s so there's not really a lot to visit. However there are still some landmarks and we have period pictures. So the lovely people at Muzeul Cineastului…
I've long thought about how tackle my sewing on the blog. Making a short blog post every time I do something seems boring and tedious so its out of the question. Also there's not too much to write about each project and I don't wanna just squeeze words onto a page for the sake of the post. So this pot is gonna be about my quilting journey as whole rather than the projects I do along the way.…
Streetlamp Shadows is going to be a short series of zines leading you on a night time tour of the streets of Timisoara in search of the dark echoes of the past. How it started Back when I lived in Timisoara my step count was through the roof. I love getting lost in that city. Especially during moody weather or at night. It has this mysterious creepy vibe that I feel right at home in. I'm also…
When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city, to see a...wait! Wrong story! Let's start again. When I was a teenager, my father let me play with his camera, to learn a different art. Aaaand I was hooked. At that time I was in school for art. Photography just seemed to me as another way to paint. If I learned to use it I could show people the way I see things. I struggled taking…

This is not a cooking blog and I'm not a cook. I'm just trying to commit to memory my mum's cornulete cause her recipe notebook is cryptic and baking them with her felt like I was a glorified standmixer while she quietly did stuff and got cranky at me for asking questions. Ok, off to the recipe! Ingredients For the cornulete: 1kg flour (000 is best) 400ml sparkling water 4 egg yolks 1 egg white 4…
This month I'm doin' one of those daily drawing challenges with my friend, Jesse. We came up with our own list of prompts and the main goal is to get ourselves back into drawing regularly. There are no rules about the medium but for my own sake I have to give myself some restrictions or I'll get too ambitious, then overwhealm myself, and end up quitting really damn fast. I know myself. I'm dumb…
Same Address Stamps and acrylic on canvas, 50x60cm PART 1: SKETCH AND CONCEPT I have an idea! I also have a few other things: a bunch of well travelled postage stamps. My grandfather used to collect them. he would take them off old envelopes and his friends and co-workers would give him the stamps from their own correspondence too. But because they are used, they have value other than sentimental.…
