Whales

What a fun little project! A friend of mine asked me to do watercolour pictures of a blue whale, a sperm whale, a narwhal and an orca to go on the feature wall in her daughter’s room. Finally, something else than fairies, princesses and unicorns covering the walls đŸ™‚ Big images after the jump. Read more →

A little bit of lettering

… and an update on the picture book I am (still) (occasionally) working on. This time I’d like to show you some lettering work. I am not sure if they’ll end up in the book but they sure were fun to create. Click to see more. Read more →

I haven’t had a lot of time to work on this further but every once in a while I find a few minutes to make another illustration. Here is a quick preview of some characters for the kids book I am working on. Still raw and plain, texture, positioning and type not added yet. It’s going to be fun once I am ready to get into the details.  Read more →

Hey you! WIP

I’ve been busy with work these last weeks and I hope to finally update my almost ancient project page on this site with some new work. The 3 branding jobs I am currently involved in are still in the making, so I can’t show anything on that front yet. But I thought, I’d post a small personal project that I work on whenever I have time and motivation. Ever since I took part in a kids book project in the illustration class during studies, I dreamed of illustrating a “real” book that will be published one day. I started illustrating several ideas but as it happens so often, for whatever reasons, I didn’t pull through. Ah well. Let’s hope this one will at least be finished one day đŸ™‚ Jump for a little teaser of the work in progress. Read more →

Work in progress

Since quite a while now, I am working on a picture book whenever I’ve got time and motivation. It’s far from being finished, but I’m determined to finish this personal project some day. Recently, I’ve got too many ideas that I start working on but never manage to bring further. It should actually stand on the top of my list of new year’s resolutions (which I don’t have, but IF I had it:) see a project through from start to beginning. So, today I’ll show you a work in progress. More images after the jump

When my nephew turned 3 years old, I quickly made some cards for him, his brother and his parents to go along the parcel that I sent him.

Elephant & Mouse

Reading lots of kid’s books to my daughter wears off: I made those prints to decorate little Miss’ room, trying out a technique that I learned during art school. I didn’t have the right kind of ink though. It dried too quickly. Next time, I’ll use printing ink rather than acrylics. More pictures inside.

If I’d be one of the most spectacular designers in the world…

… and I’d be asked to contribute a design to the awesome Tattly Tattoos then that’s what I’d submit.  I guess I just have to stick to draw it straight onto my skin then.
