Yesterday I did a new photo shoot with my friend Andy. I was using the butterfly pocket watch for a few ideas, a dead bunny toy, cherry blossoms and lingerie. Basically a bit of everything :) I very much enjoyed it, it's been a while since our last shoot.

I caught another cold, most likely after the Rise Against concert last Sunday, which was super awesome by the way!:)
Luckily we got so much sun and mild water here it doesn't bother me as much. Just want to get well quickly so I can get out and enjoy the sun again =)

Things are going well at the moment, I feel happier and brighter times are ahead.

A little photo from the shoot:

Last year around this time I started a large mermaid drawing, using a Danish friend of mine who were kind enough to do a shoot for me. Unfortunately I ripped the paper and never got to finish the drawing. I decided to start over with a different model and pose, hopefully it can inspire me to start my original mermaid drawing during the summer. You never know :)

I'm modeling my mermaid after Lena, whom I have used several time, for my fairies especially.
You can see the reference here: link

This is the drawing so far. About 3-4 hours into the piece by now.
Still debating whether she should have dark brown of fierce red hair. Any suggestions?


I think this is going to be another challenge with her tail and the undersea scape. Hopefully one I will manage. I'm very motivated at this point.

This is a pocket watch I bought last year. I don't actually use it but when I saw it I had to own it. I thought it would be amazing for a photo shoot with a vintage theme. I have a bird cage that goes very well together with it so when spring comes and we get more light I will get my beautiful friend and do some shooting :love:

I am doing a drawing with the watch as a test but I think I might change it to a painting if I feel skilled enough - eventually =)

Here in Denmark we have had such wonderful weather today, filled with sun and warmth. It's incredible ♥
Been out shopping gifts for my friend's little boy. He just turned 5 yesterday and today we are going out for (running) sushi - by his demand; I love that boy.

Hope you have a great day!:)

I have to say after starting out being sick mostly all the time and drawing very little early this year I've been in a drawing mode lately.
These were done for the ACEO trade contest we had at the ZZ Frums: link
Just for the fun of it really:)

Little Mermaid ACEO


Heart Eye


Another one, as a preparation for a upcoming commission:


The original ACEO drawing is up for auction here:

Spring Heart ACEO; The positive version of Winter Heart, inspired by the sunshine here lately and the way I feel ♥

This little ACEO drawing I did of Robin's cat, as a thank you for helping me out the past month shipping my new cards and bookmarks.
I very much enjoyed creating it as her cats are so beautiful

ACEO stands for Art Cards, Editions and Originals and are very collectible.
An ACEO measure 2.5x3.5 inches (64x89mm)

Done with charcoal during the weekend.

I was very exited to receive my brand new postcards and bookmarks. I've been saving up last year to buy a lot at once, now I should be stocked for a while.
A special thanks to my friend Robin, who helped me ship them off to me.

They look very much like my old ones but they are a bit different in size, 4x6inches (10x15cm).

They are available here, more will be added the following days:

My new bookmarks are in limited stock. I just felt like having an alternative to the sleeved bookmarks I have. They are like my Christmas give away; cardboard, glossy and with round edges.
They will be available soon.


I wish you a great new week ahead. Lots of sunshine here in Denmark today, it's really nice for a change :)
