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
Orchid Mantis (Hymenopus coronatus)
These fascinating insects are masters of mimicry, the imitation of other organisms. After hatching, their colours and markings resemble those of a toxic, foul-smelling bug. After the final moult they emerge fully white and then start changing into the colour of the host plant.
Fun fact: The orchid mantis doesn’t just hide among flowers, it actually mimics an orchid so convincingly that it attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies. Instead of avoiding predators, it turns the trick around and lures its prey straight in! It can even develop black spots on its body which may make flies think they are seeing other flies and land. These then attract larger insects and when the size is finally worth it, the mantis snatches them.
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.
