Drawings and writings

Hello, I'm Mervi. I create playful art and illustrations, I write and meditate a lot. I imagine a better world for everyone, where there's empathy and no need for charity. This is my digital meadow, unkempt and wild. Welcome!

A photo of an open sketchbook spread with a drawing of a whimsical lamp fish with a lightbulb in the place of the usual “lamp” mouth open holding a book with “THE CAPITAL” and a dollar sign on the cover. On te first page, in the direction the fish is swimming, there’s a bit of metallic golden watercolour and on the second page dark blue and black watercolour by Mervi Eskelinen.

An artwork of a beautiful pale, unspecified Asian woman with black curly bob hair, looking straight at you somewhat unimpressed, wearing a dainty white top and has a live orange fox wrapped around her shoulders. Background is pale pink and there's a thin off white lining around the woman and the fox, and over everything there's a soft paper like texture. The drawing has a bit of a retro, maybe slightly art deco feel by Mervi Eskelinen

An artwork of a beautiful Black woman apparently not wearing anything on her upper body with hair made of exotic flowers and paradise birds looking straight at you with mouth slightly opened Mervi Emilia Eskelinen
