What you looking at?
Number 90 of One Week 100 People. Hope your week is looking good.
Get a Move on
Not a typical dance move, but maybe something to start of the weekend?
Number 89 in the series of One Week 100 People. The first 70 people where a drain to draw, but after that it actually became fun. I guess that´s why these challenges exists.
Time to Dance
When was the last time you danced?
Happy St Patrick’s Day
Wanted to do something cheerful for today. Maybe even grab a Guinness later. Some of you might remember Mr Fox. He dressed up accordingly.
If you are a fan of Mr Fox, then I just added a new illustration to my shop at Society 6.
Back to Black
Missed the ink, so back to ink, and funky poses.
One Week 100 People – Day 4
Had to play catch up as a was a bit behind schedule on day 3. Have to say that it still takes me way too long with drawing these.
One Week 100 People – Day 2
The next 20 people. Went a little bit quicker this time but still way longer than anticipated.
Honey Badger King
You should definitely not mess with this one.
Have a great weekend!
Spot-billed Pelican
Last but not least the Spot-billed pelicans who got his name because of the spots on his bill….
There are 8 living different pelican species today. This pelican can be found in southern Asia from southern Pakistan across India east to Indonesia. It is a bird of large inland and coastal waters, especially large lakes.
Great White Pelican
The Great White pelican lives in the shallow swamps in Africa and is one of the largest flying birds in the world.
This pelican’s yellow gular pouch has capacity for 13 liters of water or up to 4 kg of fish.
Dalmatian Pelican
Gorgeous weather today.
This guy looks a little bit dishevelled though. Maybe he also had a wine too many last night.
There are two main populations of Dalmatian pelican. One breeds in Eastern Europe, wintering in the eastern Mediterranean region, and the other breeds in central Asia and Russia, wintering in the Indian subcontinent, Iran and Iraq.
Australian Pelican
More pelican facts for the weekend.
The beak of the Australian pelican is the largest of all birds. It’s so large and spacious, that it can hold from 9 to 13 liters of water.
When catching fish, they take huge amounts of water into the pouch. Then they move the head forward, pour out the water and swallow the fish. They eat up to 4 kg fish per day.
Be Curious Like a Honey Badger

Keeping it Cool
Monday you say…?
Don´t You Dare to Get Between Me and My Coffee
Still sketching ideas…
The honey badger will defend his coffee to the last drop. Don’t try to mess with him.
Honey Badger Don’t Care
Up to 25 percent of the honey badger’s omnivorous diet consists of venomous snakes. But the honey badger doesn’t eat snakes out of desperation but because they are an excellent source of meat and, as a slow moving prey, for him easy to hunt.
The honey badger is resistant to snake venom. Evolving to withstand snake venom is like being the only person at a party who can eat the extra-hot salsa: You get it all to yourself.
Got the Moves
Introducing a new character, the honey badger. Have been sketching them for a while as I wanted to do a T-shirt design. Still in the works, meanwhile some of the sketches.
Guess we all should take an example of the honey badger. Never heard of them before? Check them out here! They are amazing.
Lemon Pool Party
Thank you everyone for all you lovely messages. It means a lot. ❤ I am not a person to publicly put my feelings out there but it happened rather spontaneously.
My sister was very open during the last 2 years (since we found out), about the damage our mother – a covert narcissists – has caused, and I am very grateful to my sister that she never held back. She would tell people about it whether it was appropriate or not. She didn´t care, and she is right. Just creating a bit of awareness that this personality disorder exists is a first step and might help others.
Covert narcissists can be way more damaging and dangerous than open ones, as it is more difficult to spot them. It took me 10 years to figure it out and certainly didn´t come easy. But once you see through their game, you cannot believe how they could have fooled you for so long, as their acting skills can be described as horrendous at best.
I know I am not alone with this. And there are a lot of capybaras part of the lemon pool party.
