Capybaras are excellent swimmers and some species like to use them as a free taxi service too.
Illustration from my latest Capybaras and Friends Colouring Book.

Pack Your Cart
Have you done your Christmas shopping yet? Or you are like me and you keep it to a minimum and focus more on good company and food?
Anyway, I just updated my “shop” drawing, combining my latest characters.
And if you are actually still looking for last minute presents then take a look at my latest book releases
Picture Perfect – A Mr Fox Story
Capybaras and Friends – Colouring Book
The Adventures of Mr Fox – Colouring Book
Picture Perfect
Looking for another last minute Christmas present?
I finished project #2. My first own little story about the adventures of Francis Fox. Join him on his quest to take the perfect picture.
The book is available here as paperback or eBook.
Happy 4th Advent!
Capybara Madness
My latest Capybara Colouring book is online!
If you are looking for a last minute Christmas present, you can get it here.
A colouring book for young and old with 15 unique and fun drawings, featuring capybaras and their friends.
Throughout the book you will also learn more about these adorable rodents, as each image is accompanied by fun facts.
Colour them in and bring them to life!
The drawings are one sided full page images in order to avoid bleed through of other images. Take out the page after you are done and frame the image. I would love to see your finished pages!
Capybaras everywhere
I seems like I will be able two more of my open projects just in time for Christmas!
# 1 is a short story about Mr Fox. I am just in the last review stage.
# 2 is another Capybara colouring book! Yes! I am still in love with these poker face rodents and have so much fun drawing them. That’s why I put together another colouring book (as I am still working on my writing skills) with 15 brand new drawings! The drawings are of course again accompanied by old and new fun facts about capybaras. (Here is the first book if you haven’t heard about it yet.)
So if you are still missing a last minute Christmas present or cannot get enough of Capybaras (just like me), then this may be for you.
Here is a sneak peek. It will be available online by the end of the week.
Mr Selfie Fox
Another sneak-peak of my upcoming Mr Fox book…
Wondering what he is up to? Stay tuned.
Going on More Fox Adventures
For those of you who are not fed up yet with Mr Francis Fox and Konstantin Mouse (yes, those are the names I seem to have settled for, what do you think?), here is a little teaser of my first own Mr Fox story!
I have been working on this book for a while now, struggling especially with the fact that I am not a writer. So it will be more of a picture story for young children than a literary masterpiece….
Have a great weekend!
Eat Cake
Because life is too short! Somehow I have a craving…
This illustration is also part of The Adventures of Mr Fox – Coloring Book.
More about the book you can find here.
Shoe Bill
Found this one in my sketchbook. Love the somewhat mean or perhaps critical look of shoe bills.
Have a nice weekend everyone!
Feeding Birds
Another ink drawing from my sketchbook from last month. Not sure why I haven´t colored it in. Might still do so at some point.
Resting Day
Discovered this unfinished drawing I did a month ago in my sketchbook. I should finish it at some point but I also like it just in black and white as it is.
It also represents the mood of today. I would like to just stay home and be cozy.
Inktober Roundup
After I felt like I was doing so well with my posting habits throughout October I fell into somewhat of a slump the last week. I have been focusing on drawing and several online are courses that I am taking at the moment instead.
I finished all of the Inktober prompts, however, I am not really happy how the last 3 turned out as I rushed them, so I haven’t posted them yet.
Here are all the other ones that I am quite happy with. I ended up with 33 drawings even with the last 3 missing as I did more than one drawing on some of the days.
Do you have a favourite?
Take me to the Moon
Inspired by The Little Prince. Also I have been watching too much Scifi lately.
Inktober Day 28 – Crispy
Me on the beach in Mexico? Maybe.
Inktober Day 27 – Spark
Inktober is finished. The last days passed by way to quickly and I am again 3 drawings short as I think every year. Halloween parties always come in the way…. Also I was working obsessively on another illustration project during the weekend. You will get a glimpse of it soon.
Anyway, I will do the 3 remaining prompts maybe later today. Meanwhile lets start the week with some cake!
Inktober Day 24 – Extinct
Who remembers?
The hours I spent recording my favourite music videos and TV shows… Only then to never watch the recordings again.
Inktober Day 25 – Splat
Why use darts if you can simply splash your ink?
Inktober Day 26 – Connect
Remember this game? A classic.
It´s been years since I played it. The hamster is chewing on his chip out of frustration as he has been loosing repeatedly.
