Time to build a snowman
Perfect weather for it today finally!
Tag: snow
Snow Snow Snow
The plan for today looks like this! SLedding!
Followed by the pool. It’s only in Iceland where the outdoor pools are packed when it is snowing. Best time to soak in the hot water when it is freezing out there. And to watch children´s play in swimsuits in the snow.
Have a great week!
Watching your back
That’s me, waddling out into the snow today. We are back to winter wonderland after 2 days of snowfall and no one who cleaned the roads…
Happy Sunday everyone!
The Weather Today
We are having the best snowstorm ever right now and we ran out of coffee. I guess I have no other option than to venture out…. See ya!
Snow snow snow
And it didn´t even snow that much overnight. But with the lack of total winter service in Reykjavik, people drive like they have never seen snow before and everything turns into a challenge. Quite remarkable.
Different winter, same story…
Art vs Artist
Another year is slowly coming to an end. I feel like I haven´t done much illustration wise, but going through my files it actually looks like I got more done than I thought I did.
I tried lots of new things – media and styles – started on my own book projects (more about that soon) and I am looking forward to see where this journey will take me next year!
How about you? Did you try anything new this year?
Christmas all the way III
Felt like doing another digital illustration to practice some more.
Merry Christmas from Turtle and Spider!
Snow time
Going to by a sled today for the little one. There is a decent amount of snow already and hopefully we will get more.
Meanwhile grab your free ebook of What´s the Weather here. Or get the print version of the picture book.
Have a great weekend!
Inktober Day 18 – Moon
First thing that came to mind for this prompt was mooning. Don´t ask me why!
Have you ever mooned someone?
Adventures of the Little Fly VIII
Continuation of introducing the Adventures of the Little Fly.
The tree of the little fly is illuminated by winter lights.
Adventures of the Little Fly VII
Continuation of introducing the Adventures of the Little Fly.
I very much enjoyed drawing this snow covered garden scene.
During the beginning of the long winter nights here in Iceland, many people cover their trees with winter lights. It makes the dark nights appear more bright.
We had the first snowflakes flying around here yesterday. Way too early if you ask me.
Adventures of the Little Fly VI
Continuation of introducing the Adventures of the Little Fly.
When the little fly woke up again and looked out of her hole in her tree, the garden looked weird. A white blanket was covering everything.
What had happened?
The mountains around Reykjavik are all covered in snow this morning. Winter has certainly arrived.
Inktober Day 12 – Slippery
Seems I forgot to post day 12 of Inktober. I am also still missing the last 2 days of Inktober as last weekend did not leave any time for drawing. They will follow soonish.
I haven´t been tubing in a long time but it is so much fun! Therefore this Capybara ventured out of its natural habitat to give it a try.
Have you tried it?
A Winter´s Tale
Winter storms are still going strong here. I started to enjoy watching the snow hitting the window and got accustomed to cosy indoor life.
I am currently still working on a series of illustrations for a friend. But in the meantime I thought I put this little story of my own together.
A Winter´s Tale
On his stroll around the forest Mr. Fox was looking for a good spot to relief himself. Not paying attention of where, he just went about his business.
Before Mr Fox new what happened, he found himself in the big black mouth of the snowman who tried to swallow him whole.
But after the first surprise, Mr Fox started to put up a fight.
On it went. The struggle continued for a while, but eventually Mr Fox was able to free himself and ended up victorious.
The End.
Have you build a snowman?
We are currently having that terrible winter weather that I hate. It snows one day, only to be followed by heavy rain the day after…. So no chance to enjoy the snow or build a snowman. Therefore an ink version has to do for now.
Have you build a snowman this winter?
Mr Snowman is not amused.
Winter is here and a storm warning is on for tomorrow. I think this will be my Christmas card for this year. What do you think?
Inktober 2019 Day 11 – Snow
Snow is not here yet but winter is definitely on the way. We just will have to make the best out of it I guess.
Keeping Your Cool Like a Snowman
Or something like it. I was not planning on a winter scene when I started inking this, otherwise I would have put some woolen socks and sweater on her…
Oh well. We are off to the countryside over the New Year´s with no internet. Only a bunch of books and plenty of wine and cheese! Really looking forward to it.
Thank you to everyone who supported me with their encouragement, positive comments and likes throughout the year. It was a pleasure to get back into drawing and also see and feel improvements. I will definitely keep on going. Let´s see what the New Year brings. This one was certainly one with many ups and downs. But as “they” say, if you hit rock bottom it can only go up again.
Happy New Year!
