"My possibly late husband never learned to appreciate modesty and humbleness, im afraid." Being married to a pirate in the kings service comes with a lot of material perks, but makes it difficult to host a fine ladies party. im just glad to have finnished, i sat for three days painting patterns.

Heres a little painting of my friend, how i imagine her in 1890s.

Sometimes you see people so cool it makes you question "can people this cool really exist?"

After being stuck with an A5 pad for a month, i finally got my hands on a A3 one. What better way to celebrate than painting a messy room? No rules, no plans, just making things up as i go.

Heres the next part of the style challenge. Its fun to draw in different styles, but putting lipstick on a cat feels wrong...

Finally im doing an style challenge thats been on the internet for almost a decade now. Drawing a charachter in the styles of different media i enjoy. This are the first two, anyone want to guess wich styles i tried to copy here?

I pride myself for not being into internet drama or spreading gossip, but i do have a guilty pleasure. Mohammad agbadi is a youtuber who talks about problems with the art community, like tracing, theft, harassing and difficulties with etnic representation. Hopefully he wouldnt mind me borrowing his face to practise drawing black men... even though i heavily overworked his skin.

My mother made waffles this evening, so i felt inspired to make these little tests. Im most happy with the one on the red gingham.

This is about the time me and my family got to see nothern lights so powerful i could hear it.

Things went horribly wrong with her teeth, but otherwise i think i captured the essence of marlo thomas' character ann marie.

After a week of influensa and a diet of lozenges and potato twisters, i needed to do a quick drawing to keep in practise. Wtprompt on instagram suggested an animal portrait with a moustache, so here it is!

Having younger siblings is 50% about having spoiled rotten playmates and 50% about making sure those little morons dont accidentaly kill themselves. Border collies are so hard to draw antropomorph! Ever noticed how they most of the time keep their head lover than the bum?

Looking through a book about cats and studying their body language. Does this look like the right mix of realism and whimsy?

This looks simple, but i spent days researching to get the buildings and clothing right. There was also a lot more layers than i planned for. This buildings are still in use, there are different shops in them now. Sadly they no longer have those colorful decorations,

The painting im working on is taking a lot more time than i expected, so here is one i painted last winther. I love Beatrix Potters paintings where the animals look realistic, but they wear miniature clothing and behave humanlike.

This is the Tidy corner on my desk. The rest are not fit for audience.

A fun little challenge from instagram that really allows you to wake up your childhood imagination.

Norways largest sailboat arrived in Bergen this summer, and the crew dressed in black posing on the masts reminded me of birds sitting on wires.
