Ink drawings of animals and plants
The story of my transition from drawing black-and-white posters to colourful animal prints on organic tote bags.
NEW DESIGN
Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis)
The common kingfisher, also known as the Eurasian kingfisher, is a small bird and lives across Europe, North Africa and Asia, but stays away from the coldest parts.
When prey is detected from a branch above the water, the kingfisher plunges down and dives after the fish where it employs transparent eyelids to protect the eyes. The catch is then brought back to the perch and, while carefully held by the tail, beaten against the branch several times to kill it. Only then, after positioning it lenghtwise, is it swallowed, head first.
Fun fact: Common kingfishers excavate burrows into vertical riverbanks or quarry walls where they then lay their eggs. The burrows can be 60-90cm long and are the temporary home of 2-10 eggs at a time.
Drawing life in full colour
All animals that are featured on the tote bags are drawn and coloured by hand. The end results are as close as possible to the reference photos used.

At the moment I’m drawing mostly in black and white. Besides that, I started dabbling in coloured drawings again and I find it a nice change and helps me get over moments when I lack motivation. It gets me out of a rut and inspires me to think of different projects I’d like to tackle. Maybe the next big reveal will be colourful animal drawings?
The taste of freedom came to me during one of the lockdowns, like with so many people. The sudden realisation that there might be another way, outside the normal office hours, away from computer screens, doing something I love.
