Glorious J3 art by badbastion. MINE. Look at iiiiiiiiit!

Wahey, long weekend. Prepare to be spammed:) First post is gonna be filled with squee. Because a couple of weeks ago sweet badbastion remembered that I had missed a previous commission opportunity and asked if I was still interested in some artwork. HELL YEAH, I WAS! More than a little nervous I shared my secret wishes for a sexy J3 scene and sooner than I expected I received a beautiful sketch of my favorite threesome cuddling, even better than what I imagined.
I would have been thrilled if that was it, but then badbastion invited me for a arting-livestream to watch the actual drawing and colouring of the piece. IT WAS AWESOME; like dreaming with my eyes open:)

Last week I made myself a print on fancy glossy paper and framed it. I'm still deciding on a definite place on my wall and I may make a bigger print eventually, but I didn't want to wait any longer sharing this beauty.

Funny story about the passe-partout: I thought a white border would be too bleak within the white frame, so I experimented with different colours, ending up with this dark turquoise. Only when I got home did I realize I picked EXACTLY the colour of the wall. Woah.

Next up: an evening stroll through my town.

Strolling through town again

What's up with this weather? I was already looking forward to having hoody-temperatures again and then all of a sudden the sun is shining like it's freaking summertime. So I didn't really want to go into town yesterday, but I really needed to look for a new wintercoat before they were all sold out. To be able to stay indoors during my (LONG!) weekend, I figured I'd go into town on Thursday evening, the only night shops are open until 9 p.m.

I'm very happy to report I found a coat/jacket that fit and ticked off nearly all the boxes on my wish-list; it's wind- and waterproof, a light colour (so I'm visible on my bicycle - oooh, this one even comes with reflective stripes!) and has lots of (big) pockets inside and out.
Found it at the ANWB shop (that's our national traveler's service association, like the US's AAA, but for all forms of transport, including hiking;) My mom happens to have a membership card and I borrowed it to get a 30 euro discount. SORTED! (It's this one in light blue)

Before trying on coats, I had tried to find another store in town (to get myself an extra pair of yoga pants¹), but apparently that didn't have a shop in the centre. But while I was walking around I did notice how the wonderful early evening light hit some of the old buildings and I made some photos.

Let me show off my home town a bit, mkay? ( A summerevening in Zwolle )
