Last but not least. So I rushed through all the prompts in 4 days. And as every year I do like the process. From not knowing where this would go initially, it turned into an exercise of quick minimalist sketches.

Catching up with Inktober 2023
It´s been a while, but I am still here! I have been doing Inktober diligently every year since 2017 and I was excited about this one. However life happened and I didn´t find time until now to get started.
Seems my Inktober 2023 will be quick doodles and turtle themed and a way to test out my brand new coloured inks!

I think summer is over. It was lovely while it lasted. Raining cats and dogs today…
The Weather Today XI
We are greeted with mixed weather for the weekend after a rather sunny week.
This is another page of my upcoming picture book – paper and gouache. I am still working on the cover. It will hopefully be finished soon.
Have a great weekend!
