Or something like that. It is Inktober and I haven’t found the time yet to get it started. Maybe I’ll try and play catch up at the weekend.
Are you doing Inktober?

Life is better upside down
It’s been a month since I was on a hoop. I was forced to take a break due to a pulled arm muscle. Patience is not one of my strengths, but I am trying to be smart this time and not make it worse. So I have been doing the next best thing, drawing Mr Fox the aerialist. It has been a while since he has made an appearance.
Wanna hang with me?
Here is the almost finished opossum. I haven´t been hanging upside down for almost a month now due to an elbow injury , but I might attempt going back to aerial hoop this week to start with some easy training again.
Anyone else here who likes to hang upside down?
What animal would you like to see next?
Don’t Rush me…
Or maybe please dooooo….
I am still on hold with my book project. Instead of finishing it I started working on the next story in this collection and hired an editor. So with the second story starting to get more shape, I think it is time to finish the last missing illustrations of the first story. If you have no idea what I am talking about… well, meet Madame Woof Woof. The main character for my upcoming children’s book.
Illustrations are 80 % done, after that it will be picture editing and type setting which is a whole new skill as well that I am trying to get better at… I will certainly not get bored. Stay tuned! 🙂
More positivity please
Or is that a sarcastic Oui Oui? For me to know and you to find out 🙂
Anyway, just uploaded the print to my Etsy.
Have a great day!
Mood today…
No time for nonsense. Have a great day!
Last but not least
Here is the third blue-footed booby poster of the series….
Do you have any bathroom art at home?
What are you doing?
Yes, what am I doing? For being a professional project manager, my art projects are currently all over the place in different stages of progress….
Instead of focusing on finishing my book, I get distracted by animal drawings and designs for Etsy….
There shall be cake!
Not sure why I am so cake focused. I had delicious baked cheesecake only yesterday! But then again, a good cake is simply a good cake.
If you are looking for a random cake card or a last minute birthday card, you can find it here in my Etsy shop.
Dancing into the 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.
Blue Feet
Alright, I finally get a chance to use this beautiful blue ink. It took a while but I am finally adding the blue feet to the blue-footed Boobies!
Sunday Mood
Just chillin’…
Party Bunny
Saw this photo of this cute rabbit and really wanted to draw him. Then I felt like adding a party hat…
Hat or no hat, that is the question? What do you think?
Fun with Dogs
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?
Dogs dogs dogs…
I got hooked on drawing dogs…
Woofing Weekend!
Just leaving this here. Not quite finished yet but getting there. Have a good weekend!
Finished Book Page
Here we go. It still needs some retouching and editing but this is the raw version for now. And of course the text is missing.
What do you think? Comments and criticism more than welcome.
I will let it rest for now and tackle some of the other book pages I am still unhappy about. Or I procrastinate and draw some more random animals for my Etsy shop... tempting! I am adding new designs daily. Go and check them out 😉
Drawing in progress…
Here is the full page. Not quite satisfied with their faces in the bottom part. But will finish and then possibly do again.
Happy 1st of May!
Back to Work
I finally got over my creative block, related to my book project, AND I fixed page 2 which had been bugging me for the last 3 months! So far I am quite happy with the result.
Here is a sneak peak of the work in progress.
Blue feet still missing
Finished inking this little fella. Still need to add the blue fee, to make the blue-footed booby complete.
Current status of my desk as bonus.
