My first time using cut paper, to add the branch. I think the chameleon is more comfortable now.

You can do more with a post-it than just take notes.

The Seychelles Tiger Chameleon, is the only species in the resurrected genus Archaius. It is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. More like this on: https://www.instagram.com/camilojulianc/

Only drawing it's shapes revealed so much more than all the green I see everyday! Maybe I'll color it in one of these days.

Pen and ink with a homemade bamboo pen!

Dried lavender, using charcoal pencil. It smeared in my sketchbook later on, but I'm okay with that.

Micron pens. I wonder if I took it too far, but there were so many fronds!

From post-it note to canvas. Quarantine life has got me taking some of my old doodles and turning them into paintings.

This sketchbook is my therapist. Not this one specifically, but any single one small enough to fit in my pocket. I tell it everything, from quirky thoughts and funny notes to abstract concepts, drawings and positive reminders. Keep it analog folks… a doodle, sketch, writing, poem, or scribble every day helps to keep the brain fit and the thoughts flowing. ✏️

I have quite a bit of traveling planned this Summer...from NYC to Copenhagen to Venice to Berlin and a few more spots. Very much looking forward to all the different colors, cities, and cultures in the coming weeks.

More often than not, music defines where my lines go.
