More fun with turtle. I had the fire spiting image in my head for quite some time so it was fun to finally put it on paper.

Had a bit of fun, trying out more of my new colourful inks.

Let’s see if I will make a fortune with this magic bean!?

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!
The Weather Today XII
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!

We maxed out the amazing hiking weather we had the last week, and now it is back to Iceland’s usually windy self….
The Weather Today VIII
Summer has arrived here at last.
Also the earthquakes are still going strong. If that volcano errupts again this year I will definitely hike there this time. I missed out on the last two eruptions.
Meanwhile we’ll be at the beach. And another page of my new picture book.
The Weather Today VII
Second day in a row of full on sunshine. This means beachtime!
The Weather Today VI
The sunshine didn’t last long. Beside a good amount of little earthquakes today, it is also back to the usual windiness …
The Weather Today V
No rain but also no sun today. Still time to go outside! I really miss the sun.
Another paper cut page from my upcoming picture book.
