Spot-billed Pelican
Last but not least the Spot-billed pelicans who got his name because of the spots on his bill….
There are 8 living different pelican species today. This pelican can be found in southern Asia from southern Pakistan across India east to Indonesia. It is a bird of large inland and coastal waters, especially large lakes.
Peruvian Pelican
Though closely related, the Peruvian Pelican is almost twice as large as its northern congener, the Brown Pelican.
Lemon Pool Party
Thank you everyone for all you lovely messages. It means a lot. ❤ I am not a person to publicly put my feelings out there but it happened rather spontaneously.
My sister was very open during the last 2 years (since we found out), about the damage our mother – a covert narcissists – has caused, and I am very grateful to my sister that she never held back. She would tell people about it whether it was appropriate or not. She didn´t care, and she is right. Just creating a bit of awareness that this personality disorder exists is a first step and might help others.
Covert narcissists can be way more damaging and dangerous than open ones, as it is more difficult to spot them. It took me 10 years to figure it out and certainly didn´t come easy. But once you see through their game, you cannot believe how they could have fooled you for so long, as their acting skills can be described as horrendous at best.
I know I am not alone with this. And there are a lot of capybaras part of the lemon pool party.
To My Sister
When life gives you lemons….
This whole thing started as a sarcastic joke. Now I can find out what you do when life covers you in lemons.
Last week I lost my sister. She hated it when I called her little sister. She always made a point that she was 2 cm taller than I. She was the strongest person I knew and always managed to pick herself up no matter how terrible life was to her. She always told me she is the stronger one and I agreed. She always ended up comforting me despite she being the one that was the one that needed help and comfort. Life gave her a lot of lemons.
She did not deserve any of the things she had to suffer through from epilepsy to a Narcissistic mother which is the source of all evil in our lives. Persons with covert narcissistic personality disorder are pure evil and take lives as my best friend had to experience last year as well. Her brother was encouraged to drink himself to death by his narcissistic wife over the course of 6 months. All we can do now is spread awareness about the evils of covert narcissists.
I guess life is not fair and we can only learn how to cope with it. This is for you taller sister, I love you and I will miss you terribly.
When Life Gives You Lemons… Bake Cookies!
I was not a fan of lemon cookies until I tried home-made ones. So good especially when still soft and warm.
When Life Gives You Lemons…
To drink or not to drink, that is the question…

The last of the Inktober prompts – Crawl. I guess better late than never.
Yes, I am on a Capybara trip. I enjoy their facial expressions and joyfulness. *sarcasm off
I am the King of my…

Foxy Pelican Season
Still looking for a special present, either to treat yourself or someone else? Then look no further!
I finally managed to put up a shop with a couple of illustrations at Society 6 and Red Bubble. They have a great variety of products that you can get these lovely illustrations printed on.
Let me know what you think. Is there anything else you would like to see in it?
How about a little pelican to brighten up your day?
Take Me Out for a Walk
The good thing about dogs is, that they force you to go out in every weather. Unless you have a dog that hates the rain and you are the one that has to force your dog to leave the house.
Here the temperatures are way below freezing, but we will head out for a walk nevertheless. Even without a dog. Have a nice weekend everyone.
I Just Stay Where I Am (or The Weather Today)
As the title says. This little pug is going nowhere with strong winds and below freezing temperatures out there.
I really love this little guy (although I am not a fan of pugs at all). I love dogs, the bigger the better! What about you?
But I drew him last winter for an upcoming project I have been working on with a friend. Stay tuned!
Fly Away With Me
Mr Fox and Mr Mouse are going on a journey. They have no idea where the winds might take them…
A Winter´s Tale
Winter storms are still going strong here. I started to enjoy watching the snow hitting the window and got accustomed to cosy indoor life.
I am currently still working on a series of illustrations for a friend. But in the meantime I thought I put this little story of my own together.
A Winter´s Tale
On his stroll around the forest Mr. Fox was looking for a good spot to relief himself. Not paying attention of where, he just went about his business.
Before Mr Fox new what happened, he found himself in the big black mouth of the snowman who tried to swallow him whole.
But after the first surprise, Mr Fox started to put up a fight.
On it went. The struggle continued for a while, but eventually Mr Fox was able to free himself and ended up victorious.
The End.
Have you build a snowman?
We are currently having that terrible winter weather that I hate. It snows one day, only to be followed by heavy rain the day after…. So no chance to enjoy the snow or build a snowman. Therefore an ink version has to do for now.
Have you build a snowman this winter?
