Christmas is around the corner
I am probably the last person to acknowledge it like almost every year. Although I managed to put up decorations and bake Christmas cookies twice! Because I ate most of the first batch…
Beside eating cookies, I played around with some Christmas card designs. As I am too late (as every year) to send a physical card, I’ll opt for digital versions. But you can also print them if you need a last minute card.
If you are not subscribed to my newsletter already, do it and I’ll be sending out a card a day until Christmas for you to download.
Happy Holidays!
When everything is up in the air…
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?
Hey there!
Just for fun.
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.
I heard there was cake
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!
Honey Badger Coming Your Way II
After doing the sketches the other day, I felt like drawing some of those badgers in big. Still work in progress.
I also updated the honey badger posters in my Etsy shop if you would like a badger on your wall 🙂
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?
