To end 2024 on a happier note, I’m sharing with you a drawing that I created for my friends’ wedding announcement, which took place this month:

This event and its sidelines (hen party, activities on D day, etc.) kept us all busy for a consequent part of the year. In addition to the wedding announcement, invitation cards, leaflets and other stickers were added (see example below):

Once arrived at the place, it was a joy to discover that my work was appearing on several media:

The biggest surprise being the recreation of the arch for the ceremony, that I initially used as a background in the drawing (at first I thought it was a joke, when the bride and groom told me that! But it wasn’t and the decorator did very well to transcribe it! ).

In the end, mission accomplished! Both bride and groom are over the moon after an amazing day full of Love! Thank you to them for the trust they placed in me.

Have a great end of the year and a wonderful New Year’s Eve!

Ps: this work was an exception, I don’t take orders ok!? ;p

They might look impressive with their neon yellow crest, these birds are nevertheless very mischievous.

Here is an example of a cockatoo biting, for example, the tails of poor kangaroos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx78TqH0HIE&ab_channel=GeoBeatsAnimals

If you’ve never heard the sound of the beast, take a look on Youtube: https://youtu.be/s2BmSSDKrjA?si=p_sw_isMm94LZlaT

Happy listening! Or not.

So many years spent working on my English, learning elegant and polite sentences…and all these efforts got shattered upon arrival in Singapore.

Can you believe this?

Happy summer holidays everyone, whether you are on a language study holiday or not!

I think it’s trying to send me a message. Like to stop being a glutton.

Happy egg hunting everyone!

This is how to spend your Zen session freaking out in case the masseuse would break your neck…

Next time I’ll choose hammam if I want to relax. Less risky 😉

Have a nice week my darlings,

Next round of watercolours inspired by the exercise book “Watercolour for Relaxation“, by Angelica Torres.

I realised the trois following works:
– Refreshing Watermelon
– Moon phases
– Colorful Seaweed

Do you like them?

If you survived the holiday season, may 2023 be sweet and less tumultuous than 2022, like these mountains.

During the holidays, I borrowed the book “Watercolor for Relaxation“, which is a watercolour exercise book by Angelica Torres. I had fun recreating a pink version of her “Serene Rainy Mountains” from Mianshan, Shanxi province.

Very relaxing indeed to pick up my brushes and immerse myself in the fluid colors that I love so much during my holidays.

May your year 2023 be sweet, but also filled with joy and creation!

Lots of love,

Malika Smith

On a different note, I am super happy to inform you of the release of my new logo that you will now find on my drawings:

We created it with the amazing graphic designer Cindy Guibouin of Vision Design.

We worked hard for many days to get this beautiful result. I hope you will like it as much as we do!

If you need customed graphics for your logos / business cards / flyers or other, do not hesitate to contact her! She will be happy to accompany you throughout your project.

Enjoy your meal my friends! With or without any gluten 😉

Enjoying the swimming pool – Yes!
Enjoying the swimming pool with 80dB of continuous jackhammers / planes / construction works etc. – No.
I feel the desire to live isolated in a bubble (I mean, phonically isolated) sometimes.
Or, to live in a vast field without any neighbours… Aaaaw, that’d be sooo good…
