I have this weird thing that I’m only allowed to post stuff I haven’t posted before on #SocialMedia. And while I try to not care about that looks like this fits the bill as well:
Looks like I’ve never posted this 2020 piece inspired by the #ChildrensBook „When You Trap a Tiger“ by #TaeKeller* Not super satisfied with this (will I ever be with anything …) but I love the #mysterious atmosphere this has ^__^
Hello, #Fedifriends! Here’s a another one from the #archives (2011). I was never quite satisfied with the colours and overall composition but it has grown on me over the years.
The original also featured a sword (see here) but I’m not really a fan of tools for killing anymore.
Mh, that’s a nice thought that this might happen to pieces I’m struggling with now …
Hello rock-enthusiasts! ✨ Here are some rock friends from 2019, probably inspired from the ever awesome #EllieVsBear*
This was back when I was still experimenting with brushes that imitate analogue brushes but this always felt wrong (I hate fake wood flooring that is just noxious plastic with a passion).
Here’s a very old (2010!) piece I recently found on my blog, it was apparently for the (now defunct) #DrawingDay, done on a tiny, ancient (about A6!) #wacom#DrawingTablet (could never get used to them in the end).
Still like the atmosphere a lot.
Check out the blog for some info on the #RuneStone:
Since I took part in my first ever #CriticalMass (courtesy of @EdCriticalMass@mastodon.scot, thank you! 🥰) this weekend (such an amazing feeling #cycling on a main street without being subconsciously afraid to be run over) here’s something #cycle-themed!
(I’m afraid to say that I think this is the first time ever I’ve drawn a bike …)
Here’s a #WIP from a piece I’m working on. I realised I don’t draw a lot of the things I care deeply about in real life so (except for nature and fantasy ^__^), so this will be all about #hipster#coffee places (paired with #scifi / #astronomy).
The #braids almost killed me, I’ve struggled with #drawing braids before and can totally understand when people just draw a bunch of wonky circles (like Klassen does ^__^) but this time I wanted to understand how to do it and it probably took twice as long as all the rest of the illustration. I think the dramatic shadows on them fit the eery glowing light that’s coming from the bottom of the Selkie lake, no idea how I’d do it in „normal“ circumstances …
Not sure about the #snow, I personally love it but I got #feedback on another piece that it makes it the composition very restless, which I totally see.
Hi there ^__^ Here’s a Surfer Space Wizard Raven from a few years back! ✨
Floating, pill-shaped cities in the clouds are cool but I especially like the character, I think that would be a cool motive for a shirt, what do you think?
Late to the party as always (🥳) here’s an #ArtVsArtist2023 thingy (I’m super unsure about putting my face on the internet but since this is not going to #Instagram anymore I feel better about it).
I feel there’s a lot of #pink going on which is really nice ^__^ I hope I’ll remember doing more of these in the future, it’s a good way of looking at the past year.

The new test #prints I ordered from #Inprnt arrived super fast! 🎉
And just like last time they’re just tooo good! ✨
#Redbubbe or #Society6 don’t come even close to it +__+ My photos don’t do the vibrant colours and deep blacks justice at all, they’re so amazing! I can’t get over it ^__^
I didn’t have to pay custom fees this time, which is interesting. I don’t know if this is down to just luck or the fact that last time they arrived in a tube and this time in a flat (big) letter. The packaging was excellent as well, quite sturdy and well made.
EDIT: Ordered some more for my family, I had to pay customs (Germany not UK?) this time (7€ on a 100€ order) but the prints are just mind-blowing again! Aaahhh, if only we had something like this in Europe that does not get flown in from the US! 😭 There has to be something, right?
