Gifts!!!!

In exchange for a couple of UK-unavailable waterproof ink pens I sent to my friend Jools in England she sent me something too, and today I finally received her package! In it were the moleskine watercolour sketchbook and a carved wooden bowl made by her hubby Graeme :-D
Oooohh how I luv it!
Thanks Jools and Graeme for going through all that trouble!

Holidays are coming

I was bored again during Pragmatics class.


I lost half of my hair, that's why I find thick or curly hair just wonderful. That girl sat in front of me and had no idea I was sketching her hair. ;-)

Arabic class

Us in Arabic class as we are all struggling to pronounce ع

IF: The Zoo

Just a quick doodle in class:
Z for Zebra

Misty Hat Mountain 7&10

I hope to get those illustrations done by the end of November.
Seven to go!

Teddies

I didn't feel inspired, but I did feel the need to doodle:

Christmas Postcard Painted

I am happy to announce that once and for all I actually painted what I wanted to paint on the day I had set aside for said project in the time I had alotted for it.
The painting is currently at the copy shop waiting to be scanned. Tomorrow morning I will go get it, pay for it, and sit through 8 hours of University till I get back to my flat and my computer where I will finally put some digital finishing touches on it and also possibly put it online.
The 5 people that have seen it so far are very excited about it so it must be good.
I hope you had a good weekend and a nice start into the week!

IF: Superstition

Wishing upon an eyelash...

I know, the hand is too big. Next time it'll be better.

Winter Wind Awakens

Sketched while on the train, watching people sleeping.

House pets

Ok, this is very much inspired by the stuff that Mattias Adolfsson does but if it comes, you gotta let it out.
And it was the same class that bored me so much

Cat

I did this one in a very boring class by request of the girl sitting next to me.

Christmas postcard

This is the preliminary sketch for the Christmas postcard I will probably be sending around.

IF: Scale

"I wonder whether I'll fit into the chimneys this year..."

Misty Hat Mountain 1-6

These are the first six illustrations for a children's story I have written. It will be dedicated to the daughter of a friend of mine. She's a very special girl.
