I ought to blog more, at least to make it worth looking at occasionally. I’ve been advised. So I figured I’d break from my normal ‘keeping things to myself’ and give you a sneak peak at what I’m currently doing (illustration wise)… a little project… an illustrated story…

If you haven’t been to an old swedish home, this is a painting inspired by what often hangs on walls or is painted on furniture.

I was asked, not so long ago to draw a picture for a friend (Annas) boyfriend (Robert). His initials are ‘RA’ (the ancient egyptian sun god). She asked for me to do something with the sun… She put it on a mug and gave it him for his birthday.

Work Together. Anatomy

I love looking at anatomy books and such. The human body and other biological things are fascinating to me. Here is the human body working nicely together, something we should not take for granted!

Our daughter has begun the scary new experience of ‘real’ food. new tastes, textures, consistencies, smells, its all foreign. Every new food type is menacing. I see it in her eyes while we move the spoon to her mouth.
