Month: April 2025

Happy belated „International Crow and Raven Appreciation Day“ (May 27th)

Rather abstract vector illustration of a super cute (light blue eyes!) Jackdaw on a rose background with a white frame.

Feathery friends! 🐦‍⬛ Yesterday, April 27th was apparently „International Crow and Raven Appreciation Day“ so here’s my jackdaw greeting card, who is part of a small bird series* and part of a much bigger bird poster / puzzle** ^__^

„City Whales“ A5 print added to the shop

A black girl is running through a city at night with two owls following her and whales floating through the starry sky! There are buildings on the whale's backs!

Hello ^__^ 🐋

I added a tiny (A5) print of my illustration „City Whales“ (from my children’s book „Fox of Friendship“) to my shop, slowly working through my backlog …

„Sunny Day on Harris“ v2

Illustration of a traditional Scottish cottage on a flowering meadow (Machair), surrounded by the sea. It's a beautiful day, there's sheep and birds and mountains in the background.
Variant of the previous illustration but the door is now on the long side of the house, before it was somehow going through the chimney.

We’ve just returned from a week on #Harris with the most amazing weather!

So here’s „Sunny Day On Harris“ again (we were to early for the #Machair, though). I since realised that the original version of this doesn’t work (you can’t have a door in the chimney!) so here’s a variant.

Which one do you prefer?

… Interesting there’s some colour-profile (I guess) weirdness going on here, the new version is much more desaturated than the old one. Looks good on my PC and on Mastodon and Pixelfed, so 🤷‍♀️ Edit: Lol, it’s only in the WordPress editor? The final post is fine. Wtf.
