Al Draws Alessia Landi fashion digital illustration glasses spectacles style

Just a random post to announce to the WWW my overwhelming excitement for Santa’s gift: a graphic tablet (Wacom Intuos Art, to be precise). I have been coveting it for like 7 years (don’t ask me why I never bought one, it’s like that scanner thing, sometimes my brain goes short-circuit) but I very soon discovered it’s much less easy to use than I thought.

Lesson learned (or “of Google and break-ups”)

aldraws fashion digital illustration girl suit breakup confidence

There is a lesson I learned the hard way, after my (in)famous break-up. And, after a conversation with my sister about this topic, I promised myself as a New Year resolution: never forget this lesson. But to tell you what this lesson is I’ll have to start from the beginning. So what is the main thing you do in the months days after a break-up? I’ll tell you: Google.
