August reflections 🌾

Finally found the time to finish this monthly scrapbook. August was full of contrasts — challenges and joys, movement and stillness. Yet as I look back, I feel grateful and quietly proud.

A month of vegan and sustainable living, artistic research, and neurodivergent joy. Of empowering the misfits, loving our planet, and embracing the art of being alive. 🌿💫

I massively enjoyed teaching the visitors of Comic Con Utrecht some iaido (Japanese sword art) skills!

Film by Viktor Haraszti.

It’s been such an honour to have been the designer of the European Kendo Championship 2025. The final little treat is something I’m truly looking forward to: turning the top three photo submissions into original artwork for Zanshin magazine.

Can’t wait to see your beautiful entries! 💙

Here is my submission to the "Draw this in your Style!" by Paran.

I redrew Paran's picture in my "BudoGirl" semi-Japanese style featuring myself and my cat Boris. Hope you like it! ^_^
