whimsical illustration

This new Bikes of Amsterdam painting is of this wooden bike I saw (no pun intended) a while back. I thought it was probably owned by a lumberjack although it’s more likely some city hipster type. Either way cool bike. Guess you would need to varnish it every year.

2.25 inch hand assembled aluminum pin featuring a tiny fairy peering through a keyhole.

It's tea time for this little fairy!

A little fairy beckons the viewer from a shelf mushroom to take her hand and follow her through a magical portal.

A young alpaca is enchanted as it watches a dancing fairy.

This one is a private commission for a friend. That's a Dutch strop-waffle the seagull has stolen. Happens more often than you would think.

During last summer I spotted this dude riding round and round Vondelpark towing his big ass speaker so everyone can hear his selected music choices. funny but also a little annoying.

BMX. The small bike with the big attitude

These are the tan lines you get when you've been cycling round in shorts and tshirts all spring

Bike Bag Lady riding through the park.

Day care dads on the school run. An early one from the vaults

always funny to see big guys with small bikes.

easy way to walk the dog and both get a bit of exercise.

Finally feels like we are Riding into summer. About time! An early doodle from the vaults.

These spring rain showerrs seem never ending. Always good to be prepared when riding.

Custom Paint Job. sometime the best way to find where you parked your bike in the huge bike parks is to make it stand out with a custom paint job.

You can rent this clog bike in Amsterdam. Don't know why you would. But you can.

Low Riders sit back and go with the flow. Although not sure I would ride a bike like this, as they are hard to spot. Thankfully they are quite a rare sighting.

A quick sketch.

The Dutch are experts at riding one handed while holding an umbrella or snack in the other hand. Although a good set of rain pants is much safer. From my Bikes of Amsterdam series.

I spotted this Frankensteined bike out side a house in Haarlem (small town outside of Amsterdam) and have no idea how you would ride something like this safely but it was gone the next day so imagine someone did. Think you would have to be high in more ways than one to ride this bike. from. my series Bikes of Amsterdam.

Somehow the tree trunk looks like a female figure to me. I'm not sure if I really like this illustration, but my imagination plays here a lot. I could draw a bit lighter background to make more contrast for the tree trunk. What do you think?

In real it's a meteor shower. But our imagination allows us to create fantastic images. I love stars. I love landscapes. So it's a final illustration of these both with a fine whimsy touch :) Day 5 of #whimsicalByMamaminia art challenge.

I'm not prepared for today's whimsical illustration. But I'll share the last illustration for my website. I'm going to launch it in a few days.
