Another month has flown by, and here’s my latest What a Month! digest. Fewer topics this time, but they are pretty big ones. Let’s dive in!

Art of the Month • Exhibition “Feelings” • Live Drawing & Watercolor Pinup Style Search • Norman Rockwell Books • Arthur Ferrier Promo Updates
🎨 Art of the Month
👙 Exhibition “Feelings”
First things first—I’m still riding a wave of emotions after participating in my very first public exhibition! It was part of a group art festival, Feelings, hosted in Yerevan, featuring artists from around the globe and their interpretations of emotions. My project, Women if You Look at Them Closer, blended art showcase with installation. Seeing people view my work offline felt surreal. Here are a few snapshots from the event.
💦 Watercolor Pinup Search
November was all about exploring and refining my watercolor pinup style. I attended several live drawing sessions and experimented with new techniques—ink that behaves like watercolor, glittery paints, and combining various materials. I also played around with different paper types and formats. Now I have a growing stack of watercolor artworks—some of which are already sold! 🎨
🧜♀️ Norman Rockwell Books
Two awesome Norman Rockwell books finally made it to my hands! One is an almanac of his most iconic works (published in 1988!), while the other is a deep dive into his creative process, including how he used real-model photography as a base for his paintings. It was such a revelation, and it left me with plenty to think about for my own art practice.
📣 Arthur Ferrier Promo Updates
My involvement in promoting the Kickstarter campaign for Arthur Ferrier’s three-volume artbook set is in full swing. I’ve completed two redraws of his work as part of the campaign, and I’m eagerly awaiting the arrival of the physical books. The campaign wraps up on December 12th—stay tuned!
🦋✈️ Expanding New Platforms
The growth of my new platforms has been exciting to watch! Both my Telegram channel and BlueSky account become bigger, and it’s so interesting to see how different the content feels between the two. While I share my "IG-used-to-be" work on both platforms, Telegram has become a hub for inner thoughts, live session pics, fun quotes, and behind-the-scenes moments. BlueSky, on the other hand, is turning into a cozy space for reconnecting with fellow artists I knew from IG. Seeing the list of familiar faces grow there makes me so happy!
That's it for now, see you in the next WHAM ❤️
