Wondering what he is up to? Stay tuned.

Going on More Fox Adventures
For those of you who are not fed up yet with Mr Francis Fox and Konstantin Mouse (yes, those are the names I seem to have settled for, what do you think?), here is a little teaser of my first own Mr Fox story!
I have been working on this book for a while now, struggling especially with the fact that I am not a writer. So it will be more of a picture story for young children than a literary masterpiece….
Have a great weekend!
Nap Time
Today is just one of those days were I would like to sleep all day….
This older drawing is part of my Capybara Coloring Book.
Never Lose your Sense of Wonder
Old drawing from the very beginnings of Mr Fox, but I still very much like it.
This is also part of the Mr Fox Colouring Book.
Eat Cake
Because life is too short! Somehow I have a craving…
This illustration is also part of The Adventures of Mr Fox – Coloring Book.
More about the book you can find here.
Hanging in the Air
I have been hanging in the air literally the last couple of weeks during hoop training but also emotionally I have been in bit of a slump. Tackling all the open projects I am having, is definitely helping.
That’s why I put this little guy also into the Mr Fox Colouring Book. It is not a colouring page per se, but you are more than welcome to add a colourful background. Let your imagination go wild.
“When once you have TASTED FLIGHT,
you will forever WALK THE EARTH
with your EYES turned SKYWARD.
For THERE you have been,
and THERE you will ALWAYS long to return.”
Mr Fox in a Box
Thank you again for all the feedback regarding the cover. And I am very happy to announce that The Adventures of Mr Fox – Colouring Book, is now officially available here. More about the content of the book you can find here.
I had fun putting this little project together with old and new drawings and maybe some of the Mr Fox fans out there will enjoy it too. It is not your typical colouring book, but it also invites you to add backgrounds and add to the drawings on your own. Just like the Capybara Colouring book.
The drawings are accompanied by inspirational quotes that I personally like.
Have a great Sunday and 2. Advent!
We have a proper storm out there. I keep on adding ideas to my to-do and drawing list. So this is a good day to continue and finish with some of the other open projects I have. 🙂
Take your Pet to School Day IV
A ferret! I think they are so cute. Somehow I feel that both of these guys could cause some trouble…. wanted to unwanted.
Take your Pet to School Day III
Another character sketch. Would you ever consider a spider as a pet? Me certainly not!
Take your Pet to School Day II
Another character design.
Any name suggestions for the characters are more than welcome.
Have a lovely weekend!
Take your Pet to School Day
I have been taking several illustrator courses in the last weeks. One of them about character design. So for a change I have been focusing on more human characters instead of animal ones. And eventually I settled on a character design I liked. Any feedback is more than welcome.
I still wanted to draw animals, so I picked the topic, take your pet to school day.
Inktober Day 17 – Collide
I´m pretty happy how this one turned out.
Inktober Day 11 – Sour
Didn’t have much time for drawing. So this is what I came up with…
Raccoon in a pile of lemons. Will he bite or wont he?
Inktober Day 10 – Pick
Seems like the mushrooms have become reoccurring characters…
Inktober Day 9 – Pressure II
I did a second drawing as I was in the mood…
Tea time didn’t quite go as planed. Hope dinner will be better…
Inktober Day 5 – Raven #2
Tried something completely different as well for the raven prompt. Although I don’t feel like drawing this character is really me. I really prefer drawing animals and I feel like I haven’t found my style yet when it comes to drawing people appropriate for children’s books. I will keep on practicing though.
I am still on track with my Inktober drawings, I just haven’t managed to take photos and upload them yet. They will follow shortly.
Who else is doing Inktober here?
Inktober Day 5 – Raven
Fly away with me….
Inktober Day 4 – Knot
Inspired by Marsupilami. Do you remember him?
I used to watch it a lot when I was a kid.
Adventures of the Little Fly VIII
Continuation of introducing the Adventures of the Little Fly.
The tree of the little fly is illuminated by winter lights.
Adventures of the Little Fly VI
Continuation of introducing the Adventures of the Little Fly.
When the little fly woke up again and looked out of her hole in her tree, the garden looked weird. A white blanket was covering everything.
What had happened?
The mountains around Reykjavik are all covered in snow this morning. Winter has certainly arrived.
