Beergarden in Berlin Kreuzberg 'Prinzessinengärten'

My first drawing in the new Rebelle 7 by Escape Motions. Go wild with the new metallic paint or turn it down low for a subtle sheen that adds interest to simple paintings.

I have long been fascinated by the vision of a campfire in a dark forest and I have drawn a few versions of it with different results. This is the latest attempt

Sometimes I feel like my drawing is similar to composing music. I start drawing just something and hope that it begins its own life. In this drawing i start from the clouds and doesnt have any idea what it is gonna be at end.

Draw series of pines at Hailuoto island. There is many beautifull pines. Not a tall but quite thick and hardy stubborn trees

In the migration seasons the geese and swans fly for the night to the sea get safe rest .And playing with positive and negative spaces

This is the second oil painting I have ever made, and the first time I have attempted to create mountains, trees and bushes. I used just 3 colours for this: Raw Umber, Phthalo Blue and Titanium White. I learned a lot and had tonnes of fun at the same time.

Love of my life caught in a contemplative moment in a Midtown NYC coffee shop. Ballpoint Pen on Archival 9” x 12” paper, Adobe Photoshop.

A thought I've been having lately- To make peace without forgiveness, I do it for my own mind, my own future, and you need nothing from me too.

Missing people watching in public, and the smells and sounds of a coffeehouse. Pencil drawing with some digital painting.

Digital painting of the view from the window in front of me

One of my favourite series. I'm trying to strike the right balance between the abstract and the realism, and I think I try to do that through my use of colours. It's the most rewarding feeling when you use unexpected colours and they come together somehow! Acrylics, watercolour pens and posca markers.

Slowely saying goodbye summer, see you next year

'Another adventure', night sketch, ink and coffee

Still reeling from that fire; totally unnecessary. Cover and inside illustration from my book, The Moth and the Sun.

A few drawings/paintings from my class this week. I like to work alongside my students.

But first coffee

It's ok to not make sense. It's ok to not follow a pattern. It's ok to be the odd one out. Life is too beautiful, too amazing, to eccentric, too weird to fit inside someone else's tiny little box of an opinion about you. Break free out of that and live your life on your terms.

From my watercolor sketchbook. Can’t seem to get away from this floral motif these days!

Illustration made with handcarved stamps.

5" x 7" pen and pencil on ingres paper.

Three islands filled with people all alone out by the sea, You see, I'd love to join them but there is no room for me. That one guy climbed too high - I think they call him "Clumsy Paul?" Soon there may be room for me... I'm just waiting for his fall.
