Yes, I have been busy. Drawing, working, editing illustrations, my first proper commission. So much so that I forgot all about the blog.
Valentine’s day is just around a corner. I prefer Friendship Day, Ystävänpäivä as they call it in Finland. Still missing a card? I put some up on my ETSY Shop.
Have been drawing a bit this week. But the weather was also horrible and I felt like being cozy under the blanket when I had the time. So I just played around with new designs for my Etsy shop.
The result…. a bunch of greeting and birthday cards.
Or maybe I just really wanted to have cake….
Happy weekend!
Here they all are, the blue-footed boobies, dancing their mating dance. I will also upload them to my Etsy shop as downloadable prints next week if you would like to put them on your wall.
Have been messing around with the finished dog drawings to turn them into posters for my Etsy shop…. One idea was to dress them up… or to put funny hats on them… For now I only have them as curious animal prints.
What do you think?
It’s been only two weeks since the last aerial hoop class, but I already miss hanging upside down in the air! Need to make sure I get to the studio on Friday.
Until then I am having fun with more poster designs for my Etsy shop.
Who else likes hanging upside down in the air?
Poster design and motto of today. After I had a good two weeks run working on my book project I think I hit one of those micro pits of despair again. It kind of feels like I am out of drawing energy. So I have been doing something else until I get my mojo back.
Was playing around with a few new poster designs for my Etsy shop. They will be up by the end of the week. And I have been drawing more lamas… Maybe I’ll add them too.
Time apparently flies when you are having fun. I have been drawing like a mad woman all week. Will be relaxing at the gym tonight. Guess my party days are over.
Happy Weekend!
P.S. Check out my Etsy shop for the print below.
New printable design in my shop. Plus it has been raining cats and dogs all day. Must be related…
Took a break from inking over the weekend and instead added new designs to my Etsy shop.
I guess this is more for me than anyone else. I am really bored of this book project right now and even thought about quitting. But then again, that is not an option.
You can find this design either as print or postcard printable in my shop.
Happy work Monday!
I am still having fun coming up with new designs for my Etsy store. I have been adding some more cards since Valentine’s Day.
This is one is my favourite at the moment. What do you think? Perfect for your mate, friend, colleague.
Another design attempt. This is really fun.
Are you looking for a last minute Valentine’s day card? Maybe for the capybara lover in your life?
You can get the card here in my new Etsy shop as digital download.
I decided to set up an Etsy shop for printable wall art and cards and have been having fun the past week in coming up with designs. I think it is also a way of procrastination from the task at hand, which is getting my illustrations done for my latest book project. I still haven´t managed to posted about it…. Maybe tomorrow.
Anyhow, I have been having fun learning more about photoshop and designer and mock ups, so it is not all wasted time. Apparently Valentine’s day is just around the corner and I thought I experiment with that. Here is one for the honey badger in your life! What do you think?
You find the download in my shop here.
Still missing wrapping paper? I have been playing around with pattern making and it turned out to be a lot of fun. It’s also easier than I though it would be.
Design practice for a set of jungle themed plates. I used the same drawings as for the dominoes and edited them digitally.
Did these also for the illustration course in February. In hindsight I should have done the drawings digitally, as it would have saved a lot of time. I might redo it again at some point. It was still a great exercise.
