Is my Life the Proof of Love?

The Proof of Your Love -For King and Country [song/band]

I came across one of my favourite songs again. If you listen to the lyrics, not much has to be said. For me it's a good reminder of "Dear Romica, are your actions, your words, your life a proof of love?"

Am I doing things just because I think they are right, or because I really care?

Here I share with you the link to a series of 4 videos [Trailer, Making Of, Thoughts on the Song/Meaning, Official Music Video] on the youtube channel of the Band.

I conclude with the words of one of the band members

"The most important thing ... is love. The best thing is ... reaching out beyond yourself, serving God, serving something greater than yourself. And my proclamation [...] is by saying 'Let my life be the proof of Your love, let my love look like You and what You're made of. How You lived and how you died. Love is sacrifice.' So let my life, my relationships, my work, my music ... be the proof of Your love." (link)

Enjoy :)

See what I'm up to on Instagram

A perfect morning, I would say with @flow_magazine (cover illustration by @annembentley) a @twiningsteauk lady grey in my @emma_bridgewater Mrs mug I got for our wedding + the nicest greek yogurt I've tasted in a while, thank you Rachel's organic. I like the honey one.

Today I'm going to decide the colour palette for my picture book and then start on the finals for my dummy. Can't believe it's less than a month till my final university deadline and finally working full-time as a freelance illustrator. I know, I've not been posting a lot but I really enjoy seeing your pictures which motivated me to share a special moment from time to time like today, when life feels good and full of possibility after a stretch of feeling a bit low.

If you like illustration please watch my Instagram stories for behind the scenes and my YouTube channel "Romica Spiegl-Jones" for vlogs, freelance talk and updates :) hope you have an amazing day

New video on the blog :) This time about a more challenging subject of freelancing: lower back pain. I've been struggling with decreased mobility due to back pain after coming back from Paris and wasn't sure if I can make it to Bologna. As you know, I did make it, it got better but then it came back again. In this video I share how I have dealt with this situation, a glimpse at the book I'm working on, and when the Bologna videos are going to be up. I hope you are all doing well - especially the illustrators among you, take good care of yourselves:)

I just have to share this cute one with you. Another amazing student project of my "Gouache for Illustrators" online course. Can't express how grateful I feel when seeing people share their little success stories. Thank you :D if you are curious how to get started. Head over to my website to classes and you can get a free 7-day gouache course :D

Bologna Children's Book fair is amazing. It's still hard to believe that after only a year of taking @makeartthatsells children's book class I'm here in Bologna at the biggest children's book fair in the world. It's also hard to believe that shy Romica is networking the heck out of it there (for my standards 😅). Half of my promotional gifts are all gone, half my business cards were taken or given away and it's only been the first morning. I've had 3 portfolio reviews with more to come and feedback has been very postive. I feel in my element but need a small break now. It's quite a challenge for an introvert, so recharging in a quiet space aka our @airbnb just 10 minutes away from the fair has proved to be worth gold. It's the most beautiful apartment with my dream kitchen and a view with blooming cherry trees - in the city - can you ask for more? I'm filming my experience for a new youtube video. Subscribe if you want to see it once it's out :) hope you are all doing well
