Taco stand part II. This time in Polanco in Mexico City.
We went a couple of times to Polanco to eat out. The best place we’ve been to by far was the japanese restaurant called Murakami. The food – sushi, sashimi and other delicacies, were amazing.

Tacos at Night
Lazy Sunday and I wish I had a taco stand around the corner to get some spicy comfort food.
This is one of the many stands that popped up each night in Malinalco with Tacos, tamales and other things I don´t know the names of, for all the hungry people out there.
No tacos for me tonight. I am off raiding the fridge instead.
Being Watched
1000 followers! Wouldn´t have expected this when I started drawing again less than a year ago. Thank you for your support and encouragement!
This little guy was watching me intensely while I was having lunch at La Casa de Valentina. It is a beautiful coffee-house with delicious food in the center of Malinalco. I can highly recommend it. One of the owners is an artist and the walls are covered with colourful wall art and drawings.
Rainy Day at the Mercado II
Rainy afternoon on market day in Malinalco. It was rather empty that day, as there was heavy downpour on an off. Even the dogs were looking for shelter under the tarpaulins that covered the market stalls.
Avocados at the Mercado
One of the avocado sellers at the mercado in Malinalco. I seriously miss my daily avocado and hot guacamole. I miss food with taste in general. Vegetables in Iceland taste pretty much like nothing. Watery at best.
Inktober Leftover – Stretch II
Anyone feels like doing more yoga?
Another one that I started for the Inktober prompt Stretch, but then felt like I had messed up the inking. So I left it until I was bored the other day and I finished it. I don´t think it is that terrible after all.
Now I´m thinking if I should add colourful yoga mats to the other drawings too? What do you think?
Yes, I just discovered the slide show feature.
Inktober Leftover
I originally started drawing this one for the last prompt of Inktober titled slice.
But as the woman has finished eating almost all the cheese, I thought that the drawing did not fit the prompt that well any longer. Therefore, what you get are the leftovers.
Inktober Day 31 – Slice
I forgot to post the last of my Inktober drawings. After not having much of a social life in October, I went full force into it again since the beginning of November. So I have spent less time at home and more time out and about.
With the last prompt I decided to revisit the surreal landscape (and the man with the hat) of my first Inktober drawing. I know, the shading is all over the place. I was tired.
I really enjoyed the month though. I think I learned a lot in terms of sketching faster and also practiced “creative thinking”. Although in the end I struggled quite a bit, but I think that was more because I was juggling work and university on the side as well. I will try to keep on going with ink every once in a while and not just forget all about it again. I haven´t decided on a new project yet but I have plenty of ideas. So watch this space.
Inktober Day 30 – Jolt
Part 2 of my series titled Cats are Assholes.
I was reminded of the phrase “Das Leben ist kein Ponyhof” (literal translation: Life is not a pony farm) the other day, and thought it is quite fitting here on the wall. It means “Life ain´t easy.”
Inktober Day 29 – Double
I’m going for double trouble.
Inktober Day 26 – Stretch
Apparently dog yoga is a thing? have you done it? Somehow I cannot see a dog enjoying it unless you have the right bribes.
I prefer regular yoga. But if I get a dog, I might try this.
Inktober Day 25 – Prickly
Oktober is over and I am behind in posting the last couple of drawings. Because of work and studies I am also still missing the last two prompts. So I will just keep on going.
I realized how cruel this image is, after I googled dogs vs porcupines. So not pretty.
Inktober Day 24 – Chop
A Halloween inspired scribble. She is chopping watermelons, not heads or pumpkins.
Happy Halloween!
Inktober Day 23 – Muddy
Here is a muddy cake. I quite like them. The more chocolate the better, right?
Inktober Day 21 – Drain
They were both so drained from playing outside that they needed a break.
Although I am also drained of being sick, which I have been the last couple of days, so this is also my current state…
Inktober Day 19 – Scorched
Self-portrait. I do not bake for a reason. Enjoy your cake. Nailed it.
Inktober Day 17 – Swollen
I quite struggled with this Inktober prompt. I had no idea what to draw. And then this was the outcome….? A hamster with swollen cheeks.
Inktober Day 14 – Clock
It´s ice cream o´clock… again.
My craving for sweets proportionately increases with the decrease in daylight hours.
The living room table is showing traces of inktober as well.
Inktober Day 13 – Guarded
Who is guarding what?
I guess you can figure out my two favourite things by now – food & dogs.
Inktober Day 11 – Cruel
Ok, the theme is definitely food orientated.
Cruel is when you had a long day at work and nothing to eat except for chocolate and biscuits and then you come home to this.
Or you wake up after a night of partying and all that is left in the fridge is this.
