i've always had a terrible weakness for beautiful but sad things. more

some of my favorite inktobers! This year my theme was botanical witches, featuring a different plant/flower and window each day (minus the coral reef it´s not a plant lol)

The originals will be available in my online store this weekend!

Just a heads up that my store will reopen tomorrow at 6pm CET time but only for inktober originals! Prints, calendar etc will be available at a later time (~dec) 🌙

It’s out!

I illustrated for Disney’s MULAN book “Mulan’s Lunar New Year”, (you can see the book here!) a children’s book about little Mulan spending Lunar New Year with her family.

It’s my first book and I want to share some illustrations  :D [*will also have this book at my table at CTNx 2018 this year on display at T55!]

Looking back, there are lots that I want to improve on the crafting of my drawings for this book, but overall… I’m really glad I get to illustrate and to remember the joy and excitement I had celebrating Lunar New Years and lighting fireworks with my parents as a kid.

It was pretty magical.

“My life was one hardship after another, and then I met you. Nina saw the whole world. But I saw underneath it. I was pressed down like coal. I suffered. That’s what an angel is. Dust pressed into a diamond by the weight of this world. You crushed me. Before I had the chance to become anything. You crushed me. But you didn’t destroy me. I died and came back to life with something you’ll never have.”

Each fall, millions of North American monarch butterflies migrate to California and Mexico for winter. They make a massive journey (up to 4,830 kilometers/3,000 miles) and use the sun to ensure that they stay on course. On cloudy days they use Earth’s magnetic field as a kind of backup navigational system. (read more here)
