Process is slow, but still process. In between my day job and working on my book I relax by coming up with new Etsy prints. Voila!

Happy New Year!
A new year and new adventures… who knows what will happen this year?
For once I started it super motivated.
#1 – Draw a crab
#2 – Finish my Madame Woof Woof illustration project!
Number 1 is done and number 2 is in the works.
What are your new year resolutions?
Merry Christmas!
Last but not least, greetings from Mr Fox!
Last Minute Printable Christmas cards round 2
Here are some more printable cards I have been designing. Way too late as every year.
Let me know which one is you favourite?
Subscribe to my newsletter and I’ll be sending out another round of printable versions tomorrow, in case you are in need of that last minute Christmas card.
Of course if you like to support my art you can also go to my Etsy for more printable posters and cards 😉
Happy Holidays!

Mural – Part III
After the mess of the first round of photos (here are part I and part II) you must be curious how the whole thing actually turned out.
Well,… what do you think?
I didn’t notice that the photo turned out a bit blurry when I took them because the sun was blinding. So the pictured are just as unfocused and random as the mural itself….
Mural – Part II
How it started (go here for part I), how it’s going.
The only request I had for the mural, was to put a horse in it.
I went in with zero plan or structure because I wanted to put paint on the wall. Realized the paint is shit and with no plan it will be going no where so I started sketching out the scene on paper after all. The sketch turned out quite nice. Unfortunately I don’t have a photo of it.
So what followed was a second round of “sketching it out” directly with paint.
Life is better upside down
It’s been a month since I was on a hoop. I was forced to take a break due to a pulled arm muscle. Patience is not one of my strengths, but I am trying to be smart this time and not make it worse. So I have been doing the next best thing, drawing Mr Fox the aerialist. It has been a while since he has made an appearance.
Wanna hang with me?
Here is the almost finished opossum. I haven´t been hanging upside down for almost a month now due to an elbow injury , but I might attempt going back to aerial hoop this week to start with some easy training again.
Anyone else here who likes to hang upside down?
What animal would you like to see next?
What are you doing?
Yes, what am I doing? For being a professional project manager, my art projects are currently all over the place in different stages of progress….
Instead of focusing on finishing my book, I get distracted by animal drawings and designs for Etsy….
Honey Badger Coming Your Way II
After doing the sketches the other day, I felt like drawing some of those badgers in big. Still work in progress.
I also updated the honey badger posters in my Etsy shop if you would like a badger on your wall 🙂
Dancing into the weekend
Here they all are, the blue-footed boobies, dancing their mating dance. I will also upload them to my Etsy shop as downloadable prints next week if you would like to put them on your wall.
Blue Feet
Alright, I finally get a chance to use this beautiful blue ink. It took a while but I am finally adding the blue feet to the blue-footed Boobies!
Sunday Mood
Just chillin’…
Party Bunny
Saw this photo of this cute rabbit and really wanted to draw him. Then I felt like adding a party hat…
Hat or no hat, that is the question? What do you think?
Fun with Dogs
Have been messing around with the finished dog drawings to turn them into posters for my Etsy shop…. One idea was to dress them up… or to put funny hats on them… For now I only have them as curious animal prints.
What do you think?
Dogs dogs dogs…
I got hooked on drawing dogs…
Woofing Weekend!
Just leaving this here. Not quite finished yet but getting there. Have a good weekend!
Finished Book Page
Here we go. It still needs some retouching and editing but this is the raw version for now. And of course the text is missing.
What do you think? Comments and criticism more than welcome.
I will let it rest for now and tackle some of the other book pages I am still unhappy about. Or I procrastinate and draw some more random animals for my Etsy shop... tempting! I am adding new designs daily. Go and check them out 😉
