Inktober Day 25 – Buddy
Always good to have a buddy around to scratch you behind the ear and pick your fleas.
Inktober Day 24 – Dig
I am the king of my castle!

Inktober Day 15 – Outpost
Inspired by Mr Foxes balloon trip which started back in January, he now made his way to this remote outpost up in the sky. Followed by Mr Mouse of course.
Where is your journey taking you this weekend?
Inktober Day 14 – Armour
Armadillos meaning “little armoured ones” in Spanish have a pretty impressive armour.
Did you know that the giant armadillo sleeps about 18 hours a day?
Inktober Day 6 – Rodent
When life gives you lemons…
A capybara – biggest rodent in the world – taking a swim. These impressive semi-aquatic mammals are found throughout much of northern and central South America.
Inktober Day 4 – Radio
I want to listen to the radio….
Somehow Mr Fox sneaked back into the picture…
Inktober 2020 Day 1 – Fish
Woop! Here I was waiting all September for Inktober to start and then the month started without me noticing!
I haven´t touched my ink and pen since January. I totally forgot how much fun it is and it was surprisingly easy to get back into it. Certainly easier than the previous years. I´m going to follow the official prompt list again and maybe something else… Let´s see what happens.
Just follow the light…
Theft Proof Car
Continuing with my Mexico travel sketch book…
Saw these two patiently waiting in front of a bar on a night out in Roma in Mexico City. What better car theft protection than that?
Caballitos in Mexico City
I am not sure at which museum I saw these little horse by the Mexican sculptor Olivero Martínez. I think it was at the Museo Nacional de Arte in the center of Mexico City.
I thought they were absolutely beautiful. Each horse is made from a different material, ranging from marble to bronze and stone.
Flying High II
Start of a new week. The pelican series will come to an end soon. As soon as I finish my pelican book!
I realized after drawing the pelican above that I have drawn him before. See below.
5 years are between both drawings. Which one do you prefer? I remember that the one below took me ages to finish. The one above was pretty much a 10 min sketch!
Pelicans and their Fish
Pelicans can eat 4 pounds of fish per day.
They will take large amount of water together with the fish they catch. But before swallowing the fish, they move their heads forward to remove excess water.
Mid Week Blues
It has been raining almost non stop for 9 days now… wondering how the sun looks like….
Flying into the Weekend
Off to the countryside to barbecue some fish. We not gonna catch it ourselves, that is too much work. But the eating part, we certainly can do.
Colourwise this pelican is one of my favourites so far. What do you think?
Happy weekend everyone!
Another Pelican…
A lone swimmer…
