I am still experimenting with different styles. Similar scene as before, this time in watercolour and pencil.
What do you think?

Sleeping Time
I wanted to experiment with different techniques last month.
This is a piece in pencil and coloured pencil on paper. I think the paper was not quite ideal but I still like the texture of the chair.
Time to be a Honey Badger again
I found this one when going through last years images. Another honey badger poster I created for my Society 6 Shop. Will add it online asap as I very much like it.
What do you think?
I also framed some of my honey badgers and I absolutely love them!
Join Me on the Catwalk
What´s your take on fashion?
Another attempt to use those Chameleon markers and another scene from my Capybara and Friends – Colouring book .
Join me in my garden
Another scene from my Capybara and Friends – Colouring book which I colored in with Chameleon markers. Just for the fun of it.
Meanwhile it’s still snowing here. I don´t think we can expect spring before June this year…
Swim with me
Another page of my Capybara and Friends – Colouring book , now in full colour. Here is the original.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Colour me in
I got bored so I started colouring in my capybara drawings!
If you want to do the same, you can find this little Mr Fox and capybara illustration in my Capybara and Friends – Colouring book.
Stormy Seas
Another Inktober 21 drawing that I didn´t post previously.
Apparently I do enjoy drawing boats, but I don´t like to be in them. Also we had now in average one storm per week for he past 2 months. Good winter in Iceland. Other countries have spring, I´ve been told….
Balancing Act
Going through my sketchbook, I discovered this little guy. He was part of my Inktober 21 drawings, but I never posted him.
So here it is. Fancy a cup of tea?
I´m a ray of fucking sunshine
Found this guy in the beginning of my sketchbook. I got inspired by a t-shirt with above’s headline and though a shoe bill would fit the phrase perfectly. I think they are pretty cool!
Morning Coffee
I need at least one. Either black (like my soul) or with loads of milk, Latte like. Everyone has their preferences. How do you like yours?
Take your Pet to School Day XI
Here is the entire school class. I really had fun coming up with different characters.
Take your Pet to School Day X
Experimenting with putting character sheets together…
What kind of pet did you have as a kid?
I still think that dogs make the best pets.
Take your Pet to School Day IX
No, that’s not blood on the floor but paint. The teacher is not happy either way.
Take your Pet to School Day VIII
While we currently have the snowstorm apocalypse raging outside, here is another curious pet.
I remembered that when I was young, I really wanted to have a chinchilla as a pet. I don´t know much about these rodents , but they are certainly cute.
Take your Pet to School Day VII
The budgie looks rough. But why?
Take your Pet to School Day VI
The things that can happen when you bring your dog to school (or to the office…)
Did you ever take your pet to school?
Take your Pet to School Day V
Continuation of the drawing practice I did in November.
Tried to use coloured pencil instead of ink for the outline. I kind of like both. The clear lines of the ink but also this slightly softer look of the pencil.
What do you think?
It’s Monday again. It´s not back to school but back to work…
Art vs Artist
I made a last one of these Art vs Artists collages. Also more for me as I enjoyed taking a look at my work from last year.
Below are my first proper attempts of watercolour illustrations. I still feel like I have a long way to go. But practice makes you maybe not perfect, but better bit by bit.
Happy weekend!
Pool Party
I wish I was somewhere with warmer climate right now. I think this is by far my favourite scene from the Capybara and Friends Colouring Book. What do you think?
It’s also the illustration I did last for it.
