🌸 Spring 2026
What changed from winter? I had a crisis in work, which made me think
of my next moves, what I’d like to do in the future. I came up with
the concept “delulu biz plan”, to let myself free imagine what I’d
love to do in an ideal world. I started making fictional plans on
surviving from doing workshops, which I quickly saw that it wasn’t
viable.
I started to figure out that what I wanted to do could be devided into
to sections, what I ideally like to do (focus on community work, non
profit, art & technology community center, informal ways of learning)
& what I ideally could do to actually survive (freelancing work,
making websites).
Apart from that I organized another game lab session & started
drafting a website to document the project. I did a course on branding
(& bought a book on post-branding) & one course in illustration. I
really liked the branding, although sometimes was exhausting ( I was
usually tired when I did it), I liked the strategy part of it, and
felt anxious when we were getting into actual planning and getting
real parts.
I have told myself that I’m in the brainstorming/planning phase, which
is comfortable, risky-less and doesn’t include getting out in the
world yet. I am afraid and excited about the following phase which is
actually getting out of my comfort zone. There is a tension when I am
exploring the business areas, and trying to find a way that will feel
ok to me. of course the difficult part will be making it public &
promoting it.
anyway, back to my artistic practice. the illustration course was
really interesting. I learned a lot of tricks and how to use better
the tablet for drawing digitally. I didn’t like the part of how much
work it needs to create an illustration with the method that was
shown. I started wondering what my method could be, combining the
things I learned with my personal style, and the ease & comfort I feel
using a soft pencil as a starting point, free hand drawing instead of
the multi step process that was shown.

Artistic Overview of 2025
apart from my annual reflections, I created separate artistic ones to
help me manage my expectations. What is possible to expect from my
artistic practice while working full-time? It was one of the first
years that I slowed down, minimizing the pressure I put on myself to
stay creative all the time

🍂 November 2025
from the first low temperatures, I was excited about winter coming, I
felt like a bear preparing for hibernation. winter is for home,
introversion and creativity. summer is for outside, extroversion and
laziness.
i'm digging into the things i've left open and trying to run them a
little more methodically.
what i've been up to
October 2025
I still struggle on how to structure this place. It's the usual
problem of designing a space, but at the same time trying to subvert
your tendencies. Researching around the digital gardens & the
navigational problem

combining
diary practices with data visualization
-
working on a
calendar generator, collecting seasonal data, rituals & drawings, making my own
seasonal datasets
-
trying to keep the energy flowing & continue hosting Game Labs
-
figuring out what our shared studio KLIF means to me & what do i
want from it
June 2025
Here are my first attempts to grow my digital garden. The design &
development of this is pretty spontaneous let's say. I do a lot of
backs & forths, zooming in & out, restructuring my thoughts about what
this place is, and I really enjoy it.
