This image started with me not knowing what to draw. Like many artists, I have folders upon folders of inspiration saved on my hard drives. Some are artist-specific, some are themed, and some are just random images I found and liked but was too lazy to sort. This image started by looking through one of…

20230123 – I like the way you dance
TLDR: Every now and then, I leave my wife a note on her desk with a compliment or anecdote on why I love her. I did that again last Saturday, and it inspired me to do some postcard designs. I’ll talk a bit more about the cards and process; if you want to read that,…

Styleexploration
On instagram I got asked to show more of the style exploration. I’m not going to show the full erotic drawings I made, but to provide a little bit more than just those detail shots I made slight variations of one drawing. On purpose, I only changed what photoshop-brush I used for the drawing and…

Alpenkrähe
The following illustration is based on the “Alpenkrähe | Red-billed cough”. After doing the Subalpine Warbler, I felt like I was not pushing myself in any way on these latest images.

Subalpine warbler
Sometimes “inspiration” really just means to look at something you’ve seen already multiple times again, but this time you see something different. As I got out of the shower I looked out the window which had fogged up due to me enjoying warm water on my skin while we had just seen some snow coming…
