Weekend Motivation

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.

A little bit of everything…

This week I feel like I have been all over the place. New uploads to my Etsy shop, book illustrations, people drawing…. And nothing really got finished… Oh well..

At least I haven’t spilled any ink today…

What’s next?

Something borrowed, something new

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!

One for the Dog Lovers out there

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.

Who doesn’t like capybaras?

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.

Playing around with design

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.

Return of the Capybaras

I have been going through my old capybara drawings and I still really like them. The one below and another capybara lemon picture are actually hanging framed in our living room.

I went through my old drawings as I am in the process of putting products together for an Etsy shop. And I think this should be part of it. I actually would like to include a series of my When Life gives you Lemons Capybaras. What do you think? Would you put this up on your wall?
