I kind of liked the art vs artist set up and I thought it would be nice to reflect on some of my other drawings that I did throughout 2021.
So here is another one. People and animals in ink and watercolour from last spring.

Inktober Day 21 – Fuzzy
Having a bad hair day?
About time to visit the hairdresser. I feel pretty fuzzy too…
It´s Raining Cats and Dogs
That expression came to mind when I looked out the window this morning. So naturally I felt like drawing a funny dog as the sketch of the day. Trying to get back into the habit of sketching daily.
I also felt curious of where the expression comes from and turns out it is not quite clear.
Reference image of this funny dog is from Pinterest.
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.
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!
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.
Book Release!
After several edits I am happy and proud to announce that my/our first children´s book is available to order!
With my friend Norbert, who wrote the story, we have been working on it for a while now and are happy to finally have the print version ready!
The story is about two best friends that find out how long a working week can be! A week at work can often feel very long and sometimes, not everyone is happy with it. In the end though, it pays to be patient.… and Kobbi, the little pug, is very patient.
Learn more about the book here or go straight to Amazon to order it.
Movie Night
Sometimes you just want to be cosy on the couch and watch a movie.
Have a great weekend everyone!
I Just Stay Where I Am (or The Weather Today)
As the title says. This little pug is going nowhere with strong winds and below freezing temperatures out there.
I really love this little guy (although I am not a fan of pugs at all). I love dogs, the bigger the better! What about you?
But I drew him last winter for an upcoming project I have been working on with a friend. Stay tuned!
