I enjoy exploring new tracks, observing the nature and listening to the whisper of the wind. My first mountain bike tour this year was bloody hard work for my legs, but desperately needed for my soul! New ideas. And also new UriKuri POSTCARDS – click! Fritillaria meleagris/Erythronium dens-canis, Hepatica nobilis, Omphalodes verna/ Lathyrus vernus

Finally, after a long period of winter, the sun regains its strength and we can see the first flower buds. It is believed that today, the birds choose their mates and give rise to the tale spread throughout Slovenia. Have you seen them? Click. Have you listened them? Coal tit …

There I met one of the greatest musicians and a darbuka player, a man with the golden groove, Hakan Kaya, who taught me how to play the darbuka. …two weeks living with the musicians in the heart of Istanbul, being part of turkish weeding, practising and listening to so many different kinds of folk music, smoking ”nargile”, drinking a tasteful ”çay”, a good black turkish coffee and ”Rakı” with friends… it’s for sure, everything ends someday, but good…

Kmalu pa seveda Pust, Pust širokih ust! Happy to announce that the limited edition of ”UriKuri Spring postcards” are now available in my shop (click).
Continue readingMemories…. …of roasting fermented Cocoa seeds in Granada, making raw chocolate bars and drinking hot cocoa with chili…so delicious! I admit, diving near ”Bat Islands” eye to eye with Bull Sharks…brrrr, it was scary! Such a magnificent animal! (I forgot how to clear my mask – what an amateur!). And a night dive in the Carribean ”Islas del Maíz” : a funny pose of a turtle, naping on a reef …cross my heart, I didn’t…
Continue readingWhile travelling, my main ‘tools’, carried in my bag, are always: a book made with cold-pressed watercolour paper (usually Moleskine or Stillman & Birn), my water brush (any kind), a few pens and of course my water-colour paints (Schminke). Sketchbook as my mini diary of feelings and stories follows me everywhere, actually since I travelled around Egypt for one month in 2007.

Continue readingI received a kind mail from Kate with her photo of a sheep, called Rambo. Rambo used to live in Australia and Kate asked me if I could draw him. I said to myself: “Sure, why not, he’s so cute!!” I tried to paint him just the way he was from my point of view, courageous, persistent, strong but kind and soft-hearted at the same time.
