I feel like I have been hibernating the last month… Time to do a spring clean and get active again!

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…
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….
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 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.
Adventurous Seas
Just like life, a lot is going on below and above sea level.
This is another seen from my latest Capybaras and Friends Colouring Book.
Happy Monday!
Art vs Artist III
Once I got into doing these image collections, I couldn’t stop. So here is another retrospect of drawings of last year. I had pretty much forgotten about the honey badger series I did!
They are also still available in my Society 6 shop in case you are looking or an original present.
And the fox drawings are part of my Mr Fox Colouring Book.
Art vs Artist II
I kind of liked the art vs artist set up and I thought it would be nice to reflect on some of my other drawings that I did throughout 2021.
So here is another one. People and animals in ink and watercolour from last spring.
Me in my Imaginary Garden
Full blown snow storm raging outside. So its nice to be inside all warm and cozy, dreaming of imaginary worlds.
This nature capybara is also part of my latest Capybaras & Friends Colouring Book.
Picture Perfect
Looking for another last minute Christmas present?
I finished project #2. My first own little story about the adventures of Francis Fox. Join him on his quest to take the perfect picture.
The book is available here as paperback or eBook.
Happy 4th Advent!
I need your help
So I thought after the capybara colouring book was so well received, that I would put some of my old and brand new Mr Fox drawings together in a colouring book.
I have been playing around with cover designs on Affinity publisher, but with way too many colour and font choices, picking one is difficult. So I narrowed it down to these 4. Which one is your favourite? Take part in the poll below.
Thank you 🙂
Take your Pet to School Day III
Another character sketch. Would you ever consider a spider as a pet? Me certainly not!
African Wild Dogs II
I really like sketching these wild dogs. I am also experimenting with different outlines and pencils. So far I like the result. Only the paper quality was not the best. Will change that for the next drawing.
