Animation love...

Lately they're everywhere... And I must admit: I'm truely fascinated by animated illustrations. For instance the ones I recently discovered from illustrator Maori Sakai, those from Thoka Maer or the ones from Oamul. I mean: WOW. 

And so I really want to learn how to make my own animated illustrations. How fun would it be to make my drawings move?!

Here's a first, modest attempt: Just a girl enjoying her music. I have loads to learn still, but I'm happy I managed so far. ;-) Hope to post more (and better) animated gifs in the future!

August is here...

In summer time we all fancy an ice cream every now and then... I especially love pistachio, chocolate and hazelnut. :-P What are your favourite flavours?

For the August wallpaper calendars I drew all sorts of ice creams. There are other ones included on the iPad and iPhone calendars, so go check them out ;-)

Have a lovely month. Hopefully with lots of sunny, ice cream filled days!

Summer time!

Somehow my month June flew by super quick. Maybe it had something to do with the theme of my previous wallpaper? Anyhow... July is here now! And so to get into the holiday mood, I made a new wallpaper out of my recent island pattern. Hope you like it :-) PS. watch out for the red crab. It likes to pinch toes :-O

Have a wonderful summer time everyone!

Hello June!

June is here! With more sun and blue skies, I hope. That makes flying even more fun...

Have a lovely month everyone! (and grab a flying machine wallpaper if you like ;-))

Deniz's favourites

My friend Elif asked me to make a custom illustration for her husband Deniz, as a gift for his birthday. Deniz travels a lot to conflict areas all over the world for his work as mediator at Red Cross. And with this gift Elif wanted to give him a reminder of all the things he likes and loves. How sweet is that! 

I watercoloured a few of his favourite things, including some inside jokes... like his not-so-very secret spoons of Nutella or his occasional sneaky sigarette. And yes, this man has a love for beautiful math equations too. Above all he loves his family, including doggy Nena.

Happy birthday Deniz! And thanks for this lovely custom request Elif!

Back to the island...

I didn't make it to the Top Ten Flying Machine Patterns last time in my first ever Spoonflower challenge... However: with 248 votes for Fly with me I got placed 15th from the 280 artist. Obviously I was dancing through the house, when I saw that!

For my second Spoonflower challenge I made a watercoloured island themed pattern. Palmtrees, shells, waves, fishes and mermaids... they all gathered to turn into one happy, beachy pattern.

With 154 votes my Back to the island pattern got place number 43 from 236 attending artist. Not in the Top Ten either ;-), but still very fun to get noticed by so many people :-)
