Private Luxuries & Other Observations is an ongoing personal series about the small luxuries and quiet absurdities of adult life: one more perfume, a contract signed over wine, a message that says "on my way" and rarely means it, a bottle bought purely for its label. Most of them catch the moment when a small pleasure quietly wins over good intentions.

Each piece starts in a sketchbook and is finished digitally, keeping the hand-drawn line and paper-like texture.

I am Veronika Timokhina, an illustrator based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Ny editorial and brand includes Casio Japan, Cincinnati Magazine and Teen Breathe UK.
