Lost Tapes

Some time ago I was asked to do the art for the upcoming album by Lost Tapes released by Cloudberry Records and now here it is! Their music is really wonderful, so feel free to give it a listen, on their web, or on their bandcamp page!

I was inspired by the idea of simple sensible things happening on a quiet image, and in a way, I believe there's no better place to be than in a special spot in the forest where magic seems to happen, at the right time of the day. But a little secret is that any moment can feel like magic if we allow ouserlves to feel the magic of the moment.

I also did the art for the labels, inside the 7" album. Which are meant to be a prolongation of the main illustration, as well as the back cover. Added the river path as well as the beard scratches on the trees! (you know, the beard from the main illustration).

And here you have the back cover art, as you can see the meaning of it was as if the magic moment was fading as the night was getting darker, and so the lights are now off and there's no bear, just the scratches on the tree it has left behind.

Hope you like the illustrations and hope that you like Lost Tapes' music! You'll be able to order their new album from Cloudberry Records page soon enough!

Shop's Opened!

   

   

   

   

I started MY SHOP today! You can find it now on Society6! I've been wanting to start a shop for a long time, to sell the prints I do, parlty because some people asked for it, but also because I love it and I'll be needing some money now that I'll be moving to Belgium next semester!

Hope you like what you find there (I'll be adding some more, but if there's not one you'd like to buy, just ask me!) and if you like something now there is FREE SHIPPING until next Sunday! 

Have a great day! and thank you!

Lost on a frozen forest

"And the road's still long but you come along and you hold my hand and you understand.."

I was trying around things and doing sketches for a project and somehow I did this in half an hour?? quite proud of this sketch. Had so much fun drawing the fox.

Now back to more work.

Fishes, cat and penguin ID

I did this a while ago, meant to be used as an ID, but I never did it. It's one of the many old drawings that I'll be finishing from now on.

As today I told myself that I would stop doodling stuf and just concentrate on my work you'll probably be hearing little of me, but I'll keep posting this unposted drawings and paintings, and maybe posting 5 minutes doodles on tumblr if I take breaks from work.

By work I mean big projects I wanna/have to do, and I'm so exited about working on them but can't really go much further if I keep taking time of the day in drawing other stuff.

So here is the first of the old drawings, hope you like it.

DNA

..or ADN, as you like it.

A Vampire's Amusement

So pull me closer and kiss me hard

I'm gonna pop your bubblegum heart

- Marina and the Diamonds

Because I couldn't help myself when I listened to Bubblegum bitch, and pretty much, 'cause I saw a lovely, lovely drawing done based on that song, too. So yep, PB and Marceline. They're so sweet! (silly joke)

This was meant to be a warm up doodle, and indeed it is, it's just that it took too much time? Well, now's time to go back to work.

ps. ....can you see the heart??

Pitch's longing

There are few who’d deny, at what I do I am the best

for my talents are renowned far and wide

when it comes to surprises in the moonlit night

I excel without ever even trying

with the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms

I have seen grown men give out a shriek

with the wave of my hand, and a well-placed moan

I have swept the very bravest off their feet.

Yet year after year, it’s the same routine

and I grow so weary of the sound of screams

and I, Jack, the Pumpkin King  Pitch, the Nightmares King

have grown so tired of the same old thing

Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones

an emptiness began to grow

there’s something out there, far from my home

a longing that I’ve never known..

Jack's longing - The Nightmare before Christmas

I was listening to The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack and the idea that Pitch was the boogyeman and that the boogyeman had some lines on the This is Halloween song pumped up and then I searched, did a drawing, and then Jack's lament started playing and I couldn't help myself but thinking of Pitch. I'd love to see Pitch singing a song!

Just a rough sketch, now that my computer seems to finally work again (fingers crossed) let's see if I can keep on drawing this days. I'll keep you updated with more news that are going on!
