Art Account (Instagram)

I decided to divide my personal instagram and my art profile.

I would keep it up to date, posting as much as possible, just as my facebook art page. I feel like right now Instagram is a really good place for illustrators and I would try to get involved in the community.

I quite liked the House of Illustration, we saw not only their normal exhibitions, but also a contest one where a lot of artists had to illustrate the same book. I really enjoyed seeing different art styles and interpretations!

I felt like it is impossible not to look at her art...

A post shared by Clementine Petrova (@horrorkittens) on

I made a little watercolour self-portrait that I am now using for my CV and my social media & portfolio profile image! I feel more comfortable using a cartoon image rather a photograph for my work- related media, since it is also a way to demonstrate a little piece of my work.

Offer for publishing

I received an offer from a popular online- bookstore in Bulgaria about my major project comic book! Although I am very happy that someone ha...
