(sorry for the spam guys! BUT) I wanted to share this week's video about my miscarriage. I want to create more awareness about loss and D&C and hopefully make people feel less lonely (cause no one talks about this!).
There's nothing in this video that you don't know already <-- I already shared my experience two podcasts ago, so THANK YOU for allowing me to practice this super painful subject with you.
I feel like since I've already talked so...

Ma loves, first of all, HELLO! I hope you're drinking coffee and having a lovely Tuesday, no matter where you are.
This is a mega quick video of me talking about the new New Sales Tax Requirements. SOUNDS BORING. It is. But it also important!
Yo Fran, what is this, why is this happening? Because as new services come up with the years, quoting Patreon "Patreon has determined that it will have the obligation to begin charging tax in certain locations"...

Hi ma loves, here's our weekly casual (longer than usual) video. How are you? How's been your week so far?
I've been working on a comic I wanna upload on Instagram (this Friday) all afternoon AND IT'S HARD. But I'm taking my time. Last night I forgot to make my cold brew so this morning I bought an oat-milk latte from my local coffee shop and it felt *luxurious* <--- love these special self-care moments. Speaking of self-care: I also painted my nails! (Ella + Mila in My Pool...

My beloved nerds, I've been thinking so much of you these past couple of days. This morning I had my appointment to end my pregnancy. Note: What a weird thing to say right? I felt my pregnancy was already over, but medically speaking, you're still pregnant even if your baby is not responding (weird, huh?). I was scared and nervous the entire time, and I can't wait to share everything with you, but long story short: I'm safe at home and the whole staff was so nice and gentle with me.&n...

Hi guys! It's been a super weird and sad day.
I had a miscarriage. I've been pregnant for the past 10 weeks (so hard to keep this secret from you btw) and this afternoon Ed and I went to the doctor and they told us the pregnancy is no longer viable (heart wasn't beating). This sucks so bad. I'm having a procedure on Tuesday morning to end my pregnancy.
This is why I'm no uploading a Podcast Newsletter today. I actually recorded the english version this morning and...

A mega casual no-make-up video where we finally catch up AND I show you my talk for tomorrow. The people from the AOI (Association of Illustrators UK) asked me to do a member-only talk about Business and Lockdown, and how to survive as an artist in such uncertain times.
For this week we have

Have a mega nice week ahead ...

Hello ma loves, good morning and happy Thursday!
Today I'm here to present you my two sketchbooks: all the doodles, comic sketches, ideas and finished illustrations I've done during these past couple of weeks.
May was a rough month for me! I've been feeling MEGA unmotivated (9 weeks doing self-isolation and barely going out are showing its side effects) so even drawing has been hard for me.
I think this is why I'm SO GRATEFUL of my ugly sketchbook. My ...
