I actually caught up with my ink drawings but my camera is on strike… so just one fashionable fox at the moment inspired by Brian´s travellers series on Equinoxio. Don´t ask me how I ended up with this fox…!?
Merci.

Inktober 2019 Day 4 – Freeze
Day 4 prompt and all I could think of was ice cream.
Inktober 2019 Day 3 – Bait
Not even a week in and already running late… Little fox is exploring a bit more of the dark forest.
Cat Yoga II
Another drawing from Greece, back in May.
One of the cats at the pole studio in Athens enjoys lying under people while they are doing the plank. What better motivation than to hold the plank just a little bit longer? Cat-cercise…? Is that a thing?
Cat Yoga I
Lazy Saturday morning. Trying to get up to do some yoga… I found this drawing that I did back in May when I was still in Athens and enjoying the sun. I really miss Greece….
Inspiration was the two cats they have at the pole studio, where I went for aerial hoop training in Athens. Whenever you put the mat down on the ground to stretch, one of the cats would come and lie down on it and claim the space or sharpen its nails on the mat. It was actually a lot of fun to have them around as entertainment.
Day 25 – Shades of Pink #WorldWatercolorMonth
Day 25 of #WorldWatercolorMonth – Shades of Pink. I am behind because we are having a long weekend here in Iceland and I am actually camping! This only happens once a year. I do not like to be out in the cold…
Ever entered a hotel and where like WTF or OMG when did they last renovate this place? This pink setting is not the worst I can imagine though. With a pink cocktail it might actually be quite pleasant. Somehow I have Welcome to the Hotel California stuck in my head.
Day 24 – Treats #WorldWatercolorMonth
Treats! I thought I try something different. I decided I need to start experimenting more! I love how the girl on the right turned out. Not what she expected…
Day 23 – Beach Fun #WorldWatercolorMonth
I was watching a Mexican family build a beautiful big sand shark when I was on holiday in Tulum/ Mexico last year. I took several photos of it as it was so cool. That was the inspiration for prompt of day 23 – beach fun. What´s the best thing you build on a beach?
The Jack Russel Terrier in the corner is in memory of the dog we had when I grew up. She loved to dig holes in the sand. The bigger the better.
Day 22 – Rainforest #WorldWatercolorMonth
Prompt 22 – rain forests – for #WorldWatercolorMonth2019
Inspired by my visit in Tikal, Guatemala, a few years ago. First time for me in the jungle. We went on a sunrise morning tour around to Mayan ruins. I was still sleepy and had no idea what the guide wanted from me when he almost yelled at us to stay clear of the trees. A few moments after we saw and heard the poop droppings coming down like bombs. The monkeys clearly enjoyed their morning shit.
Day 20 – Buildings #WorldWatercolorMonth
Love those sauna boat houses in Scandinavia. If that is not a good way to spend a holiday, then I don´t know.
Day 16 – Relaxing #WorldWatercolorMonth
Where I would like to be right now.
Day 14 – Furry Things #WorldWatercolorMonth
This one was inspired by photos of travellers on the New York metro that carry their dogs along. Some of the pictures are hilarious.
But then again, I would also carry my furry friend around if I had to.
Day 12 – Blossoming #WorldWatercolorMonth
Flower-vase-hair. Inspiration was a post about ridiculous Instagram trends. This was apparently a thing at some point?
Anyway, flowers are blossoming. Here in Iceland the last lupins are still in bloom.
Day 10 – Ocean Creatures #WorldWatercolorMonth
Beware! The Kraken!
Day 9 – Shadow Play #WorldWatercolorMonth
Do you travel with a suitcase or a backpack?
I have a huge backpack that keeps me company while travelling. It often also weighs me down with all the crap I put in it… although I am much better when it comes to packing than in the past.
Shopping in Athens
Ermou Street is the main shopping street in the centre of Athens. I went there only a couple of times as I did not really enjoy the street nor the shopping there. Always thought it was too exhausting.
Too crowded with too many people, tourists and locals, and mainly the same high street shops as anywhere else. But you can also spot the occasional street dog without a care in the world for it all.
Dogs of Athens
After the last couple of cat illustrations I had to do some dogs in between. This is at a small square in Kypseli, Athens. A lot of people come here with their dogs in all sizes. I enjoy watching them. You also see street dogs around Athens, but they are mainly scattered around the centre.
I actually really pity those big hairy fluff-balls. Currently 35 degrees Celsius and I feel like melting. Don´t want to imagine what they are going through with all their fur.
Cats are everywhere!
Discovered this fella (ca 1 metre high statue) in an art gallery in Kifissia in the north of Athens. I liked his posture and attitude and wanted to draw him. Love how he turned out. I feel like I am starting to like cats (usually a total dog person), not sure what is happening to me…?
Would you like to have him at home?
Chasing Pigeons
This little girl had fun going through a crowed of pigeons over and over again, causing havoc. She certainly seemed to enjoy herself.
I sat on a bench just opposite of it, enjoying the March sun in Athens. I thought it was quite warm already, but all the locals were pretty much still out in proper winter gear.
