The Kiss
The idea for “the Kiss” was born when I saw a photograph of myself showing me with this really long stretched face (I don’t even know how I did it). It didn’t take me long to decide that the illustration needed a frog as counterpart. To keep everyone’s attention on the frog and me, I
St. Basil’s Getaway
My latest idea is based on an image of the St. Basil’s Cathedral. It is a beautiful cathedral which I wanted to include in one of my illustrations using my favorite polar bear again and a “super – skinny” woman. I started the painting with a prisma color basis (left side – on top: my

I had to work on it digitally, too because the colors wouldn’t transfer very well from my photographs to the screen. photos: sketches/ value studies:
Stripes
“Stripes” is about a little girl (and her cat) in a striped T-Shirt with a striped hair-do sitting on a striped armchair that is placed on a striped floor. Any more questions?
Mirror
This illustration shows a girl playing with her reflected image. The name “Mirror” just seems to fit perfect, even though I am not sure if my intention is to reflect her in a mirror. Or could it be water? Or some other shiny surface? I guess I will leave this mystery open to you. The
