A random camel as a quick drawing practice of the day… It seems like I am developing a style…
And I finally updated and did my portfolio anew. Take a look!

Pool Time II
Just putting out more pug illustrations from our Nobbi & Kobbi – Best Friends book.
Pugs are fun and silly looking sometimes. That’s at least my opinion.
If you and your kids like pugs, then this children’s book may be for you. My first attempt at illustrating a children’s story.
How flexible are you?
Another somewhat lazy quick sketch.
I think I am quite good with my flexibility but not anywhere near this lady with her monkey.
Don´t ask me what the monkey is doing there, he just happened to show up.
Pool Life
Kobbi the pug is waiting for summer. So am I.
I am certainly ready to go to the pool, if it just wasn´t so windy today…
More silly pug drawings you find in my first illustrated children’s story written by my Icelandic friend Norbert. The story is now also available in Icelandic for any language enthusiasts out there.
What you looking at?
Yes, I do like the perspective of the big noses.
Be Like a Duck
Be like a duck. Remain calm on the surface and paddle like hell underneath.
– Michael Caine
I think I’ve finally developed quite a good routine with my daily drawing practice. This time without ink.
Donkey Business
Time to mix things up a bit.
Have a great weekend everyone!
The Dilemma with French Bulldogs
I am torn regarding French Bulldogs. I find them somewhat ridiculous, but also extremely adorable….
Opinions? They are certainly fun to draw!
Morning Walk
The best thing about having a dog is, that you are forced to go out in any wind and weather. Sometimes it’s tough but almost always rewarding.
Hello there! What has this little one spotted?
Nobbi & Kobbi – Children´s Book
You can find my first illustrated children´s story of the two best friends now also in German on Amazon. The English version you find here.
Die Geschichte von Nobbi und Kobbi gibt es jetzt auch auf Deutsch auf Amazon zu kaufen.
In hindsight I would do many things differently when it comes to illustrating and editing the book. But then again, it was the first and there is a learning curve. 🙂 I definitely want to do more book illustrations and am busy practicing and learning new publishing and editing programs.
In fact, I just finished my second children’s book, a story about a little fly. I am very happy of how it turned out. More about it soon!
I have plenty of inspiration when it comes to drawings but I suck at making up stories. If anyone has a great story idea they would like to collaborate on, please drop me a line.
In the meantime check out the silly story of Nobbi & Kobbi.
Time to freshen up
After roughly 10 years I thought it is also about time to change the header image of my website. Played around with different versions, this is what I settled on for now.
Any comments and feedback are more than welcome.
Backpacking…
Got a new sketchbook and had to use it right away.
Time to get out to explore new things. What do you put in your backpack?
Capybara & Friends
Good friends are the most important in life.
Flight of the Pelican
After drawing 100 people it was about time to throw in a random pelican in between.
Happy Monday!
Egg Painting Time
Mr Fox and Mr Mouse got together to paint some more Easter eggs. Who else has been painting eggs this year?
If you are too lazy like me to paint eggs how about making your own Mr Fox Easter print instead?
You can also get this image as high resolution file to print with different background on my Ko-fi page.
Happy Easter.
Easter Fox
Easter weekend is coming up. I haven´t been painting Easter eggs in years. But I got inspired to draw Mr Fox painting eggs.
Are you still looking for Easter cards or wrapping paper or a little present? I put the image of little Mr Fox on Ko-fi as a high resolution image with different background colors for you to download, so you can print your own cards for friends or family.
Have a happy Easter weekend! I for my part will be out hiking in the sun.
Happy St Patrick’s Day
Wanted to do something cheerful for today. Maybe even grab a Guinness later. Some of you might remember Mr Fox. He dressed up accordingly.
If you are a fan of Mr Fox, then I just added a new illustration to my shop at Society 6.
Honey Badger King
You should definitely not mess with this one.
Have a great weekend!
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.
Great White Pelican
The Great White pelican lives in the shallow swamps in Africa and is one of the largest flying birds in the world.
This pelican’s yellow gular pouch has capacity for 13 liters of water or up to 4 kg of fish.
