We asked the artist what inspires her work, how long has she been drawing them: "My comics are mostly inspired by my life and daily routine. I started to draw since I remember myself and I always had a preference to create my own cartoon characters and drawing comics and later animations."

When describing her style she said: "I would say that it's in between modern and realistic cartoon styles, but I like to try all the different art and cartoon styles." She mentioned that creativity is a big part of her life and she creates 2 comics per week. She wishes that she had more time in a day so she could draw everything she wanted.

Since her comics are inspired by real life, she doesn't find it difficult to find inspiration for her work, because everyday brings new adventures she can illustrate in her comics. When asked if she had any tips for people just starting out, she had this to say: "Just start to create whatever you have in mind. Everything starts with an idea, so grab a paper and a pencil and start giving life to your ideas!"

"I study at Fine Arts University and my dream job is to create comics, animations, and art, or cooperate somehow with a big Animation Studio. Also I have a little secret to tell you... I have one more channel on Youtube called TIM (toys in motion). If you like check it out, I believe it will make you laugh." - said Sabin when asked about her job and hobbies.

Sabin shared with us the struggles she faces as an artist: "First of all, I have a struggle with the most strict judge...myself. And second, unfortunately, I don't have easy access to all materials I need and I want. I believe this last one is a struggle that every creator faces."

"Every day is a new challenge! This should not scare us, but give us joy because we will create something new. And please come to my page and channel, I need you all because you give me the strength to give you the best I have!"

Hopefully, these bright and cheery illustrations will brighten your mood and give you a break from your dull routine. Do you relate to any of the comics? What situations in your daily life would you like to illustrate? Tell us in the comments!

Container Atlas editor picks top five shipping-container architecture projects

Container Atlas brings together examples of shipping-container architecture from around the world. Here, one of the book's editors picks his top five projects from the book's latest edition.

Han Slawik is the co-editor of Container Atlas – A Practical Guide to Container Architecture, along with Julia Bergmann, Matthias Buchmeier, Sonja Tinney, and by Lukas Feireiss and Robert Klanten for Gestalten.

A decade on since the first Container Atlas was published, the new and extended edition features 20 more handpicked examples of shipping-container architecture.

Along with floor plans, sketches and photos illustrate the whole range of buildings that have been created from shipping containers, from community centres to luxury homes, restaurants to retail spaces. The book also presents a comprehensive history of the origins and evolution of container architecture.

An engineer, architect and professor, Slawik has been an expert in shipping container architecture for decades.

Read on for Slawik's editor's picks:

Common Ground, Seoul, by Urbantainer and Office 53427

"This modern indoor market hall with an open market street is situated in a central location but inside a heterogeneous urban environment.

"The cubic capacity made of fitted freight containers was created quite fast and in a cost effective way. If required it can easily be dismantled.

"To me, this unit can seem slightly rigid. However, functionally and spatially it is consistent in container architecture. The ensemble is extremely popular with visitors because the inside and outside can be enjoyed alike, and the building fosters communication.

"These buildings also reflect the image of freight containers: internationality, standardisation, multi-functionality, and the transport of goods."

Campus, the Netherlands, by Han Slawik for Architech

"This is my favourite project from the new edition of the Container Atlas, because it is the first container building made of steel.

"For the international architecture competition on 'temporary living' in 1986, Architech realised the first steel container buildings that were made of ISO freight containers. These unified the three important adjectives of container architecture of being mountable, demountable and remountable.

"The pitch is seen as the pioneering project of container architecture in Europe. During the pitching phase, the architecture studio experimented with construction and space. These first container buildings made of steel also served as the laboratory during the planning and construction phases.

"At the time, my studio Architech was still a rather small creative studio that was acting in an experimental manner. "

Containerwerkstatt, Germany, by Grimme Architektur & Möbelwerkstätten

"This project is made of reused 12-metre-long containers.

"For this office building that can also house workshops, a simple interior fitting system was employed stating a container specific aura – puristic, minimised, reduced and therefore very cost-effective.

"Bridge fittings in the corners of the containers allow for quick and easy changes of the container configuration."

Joshua Tree Residence, unbuilt, by James Whitaker

"The Joshua Tree Residence  is one of the most exciting projects currently seen in container architecture in my point of view.

"The elaborate supporting structure is varying widely from the normal load of freight containers. The inside allows for different views in all directions and promises an extraordinary spatial experience – inside and outside. The contrast between nature and the building at this container project strengthens this effect.

"I hope that this project is going to be realised!"

"These two connected super blocks in the city centre consist of recycled freight containers. They house compact unconventional apartments and some shops.

"The space in-between those invites for meetings and further development opportunities. From some angles, the facade could seem to serve merely decorative purposes. However, the facade can be very clearly seen, also from a distance."

"Our brick has pride of place in our meeting room so we can show it off"

If you won a Dezeen Award this year, how would you display your brick-style trophy? We got back in touch with some of the 2019 winners to share their "shelfies".

The trophies for Dezeen Awards have been designed by Dutch design studio Atelier NL since its first year. They are made by hand from London clay – the material used to make the traditional yellow bricks that are a defining characteristic of buildings across the UK capital.

This year, 45 more trophies will go to winners across categories spanning architecture, interiors and design, as well as to the three projects of the year selected from the pool of existing winners.

Enter Dezeen Awards before 2 June and start thinking about where you'd put your trophy if you win!

"Our brick has pride of place in our meeting room so we can show it off"

Shanghai, Hong Kong and Auckland-based architecture and interior design studio Linehouse, winner of emerging interior designer of the year, keeps its trophy in the meeting room, where guests can admire it.

"We have a few other awards on the shelves next to it but the brick stands out because the design and materials are so tactile and thoughtful", said co-founder Alex Mok, who is also a Dezeen Awards judge this year.

---

"It sometimes becomes a temporary one-minute-sculpture"

German studio J Mayer H, winners of the residential rebirth category with their project Casa Morgana, moves its trophy around the studio to remind everyone of Dezeen Awards.

"The trophy moves around the office, from here to there, and becomes a temporary one-minute-sculpture in combination with other objects", said Beate Quaschning.

"The composition is random and done by different people. The trophy travels to different departments and reminds the whole team of the Dezeen Awards."

---

"It reminds us of our dedication and commitment to design"

Vladimir Radutny Architects keep its trophy in the conference room, where it stands alongside other awards that the Chicago-based studio won in the past.

"The trophy sits on the shelves of our office conference room, as part of the display of work, process models and images of completed projects", explains founder Vladimir Radutny. "It's part of the collection of our achievements for the past 11 years."

---

"It is a position that will be noticed by visitors"

Japanese architect Katsutoshi Sasaki designed a 102-square-metre house for his family in Toyota, Aichi Prefecture, which won in the urban house category last year.

Sasaki and his family keep the trophy in the open loft space in their home, where it can be seen by visitors. He said that he felt "on top of the world" when he received the award.

---

"We keep it where everyone can enjoy it"

Amsterdam-based Studio Drift, which won designer of the year 2019 and lighting design of the year 2019, keeps its trophies in the studio's shared library space, where everyone can see and enjoy them.

"Our founders Ralph and Lonneke think that everyone won the awards, so they wanted to make sure that it is felt throughout the team", said Sarah Schulten of Studio Drift. "We also had the  certificates framed and they are hanging in Ralph's and Lonneke's Office."

---

"The trophy stands next to a Japanese lucky charm"

Japanese design studio Takt Project won emerging designer of the year at Dezeen Awards 2019. Founder Satoshi Yoshiizumi said that the trophy is kept in their Tokyo office.

"As you can see from the photo, the trophy is on the shelf together with our work and a rake, which is a Japanese lucky charm", said Yoshiizumi.

In Japan, decorated miniature rakes made of bamboo represent success, wealth and good luck.

---

"Located in the heart of our workplace"

London-based architecture and interior design studio Sevil Peach was crowned interior designer of the year 2019.

"The trophy is on the kitchen shelf which is part of the Studio", explains co-founder Sevil Peach."It is in the heart of our workplace visible to all, along with few much loved objects".

---

"All our guests ask about it"

Brazilian firm Laurent Troost designed a two-storey house within a campinarana, a forest characterised by small trees, and won rural house of the year 2019.

"The trophy is displayed on the main living room shelf among some other trophies, decoration items and architectural and art related books", said Troost.

"It is on display on that shelf because we are so proud if this important achievement and because of its special design, all of our guest do ask about it."

Laurent Troost is also a Dezeen Awards judge this year and will be assessing entries in the architecture project categories.

---

"Located in a prominent part of our studio"

Lorcan O'Herlihy Architects (LOHA) won in the housing project of the year category with their social housing building MLK1101 in Los Angeles, USA.

They keep their trophy where new clients and guests are sure to notice it.

"The award is located in a prominent part of our studio where we host new clients and visitors", said member of the studio Sinead Finnerty-Pyne.

"The display area features a selection of our recent publications and awards. We like the way that the raw brick material of the Dezeen Award compliments the off-the-shelf aesthetic of our plywood cabinets."

---

"The trophy blends in with the environment"

China-based architecture studio Atelier Liu Yuyang won hospitality building of the year with its XY Yunlu Hotel.

"We keep the trophy in our principal architect Liu Yuyang's office, together with other trophies and certificates. All of them are placed on a table beside the window, with a view on big trees and flowers. This clay made brick trophy blends in with the environment", explains Qiushi Kong on behalf of the studio.

"Although we don't have big shelves or fancy tables to display these awards, it is still a corner of glory, which represents the world's recognition and affirmation of our design work."
