Like most children I loved coloring and drawing. Reading was another favorite, especially comics, so at some point I combined my two passions, creating my own version of comics: I drew the story line and its characters without the frames and speech bubbles. The stories probably only made sense to me but it was fun and for my eyes only, anyway.

My doll faces came from those drawings. No more stories, just random faces. It became a habit of them casually “showing up” every time I got my hands on paper and pen. I like to say they “show up” because I have the intention to draw them but the final result is always unexpected. I don’t plan how they will look like and if I do, it just doesn’t look right.
