Puppet heads in progress. (For the theatre project i'm working on).

Its such a gorgeous day now, sitting at my desk with the doors wide open, its almost hard to believe that just 2 days ago there was a hailstorm!

My new little characters dont really care about the weather.

...and meanwhile I painted a golden frame on the hanazuki wall for my "characters from untold stories".

The lovely Jen from Indiefixx invited me to join the Feed your Soul project which I gladly accepted, so now you can download a drawing from me for free and many more beautiful prints from different artists. Have a look, its worth it : )

and last but certainly not least: I opened my etsy store! yay!

Studio randomness

Gent

Last weekend myself and Graça went to Gent (Belgium) to visit our friend Aniek. Aniek is currently following a master course ceramics at the Sint Lucas Academy. Both girls decided to do a project together, and i got to see a little sneak preview of the object they're working on. You might already know that Graça makes beautiful illustrations, combine that with Aniek's ceramic talent and you get yourself a match made in heaven! This is a picture of the work in progress, for more information please check Graça's and Aniek's blogs.

Under some impressions of city Gent:

 




















 

For Rins:

Working in a sunny studio!

Just opened our balcony doors (for the first time this year!) to let the sun enter the studio. Feelin' Goood!
