Best of 2025
I was fairly productive this year, except for the September-November period where Silksong and work ate all of my free time... which means I can do a month-by-month best-of selection of my 2025 art! And it's not even ALL Discworld ^^'

On holiday in the south of Sweden where Rikard's family lives, I practiced my sneak sketching skills on the denizens of Kristianstad Rockfest 🤟
A painting of Scania in spring, as a gift for the wedding of Rikard's brother! I combined several photos that Rikard took of the same place from different angles, which means there's some fudging of the actual geography, but who's going to check, it's all flat anyway
Life is a wonderful thing when you live with someone who will occasionally sneak into your office while you're out, stick googly eyes on things, and wait patiently until you notice all of them -- which in my case usually takes several days.
Don't worry, he removed these on Gandalf. The ones on my desk lamp, computer monitor, and diary are still there :)
...now this is getting out of hand...
I don't often use my artistic talents in the service of my profession, but yesterday morning I decided that what my students needed to better understand a 380-year-old baroque comedy was ~~doodles~~ and whipped this up half an hour before class. Hope it helps.

Haha, ravie d'avoir trouvé mon public :D Bonnes révisions pour l'oral !
Yes, I'm a week late, but better late than never. It is a book about time travel, after all. Reasonably-priced love leading the people, after the illustrious model :)
I am no Delacroix, but I wanted to do this for many years and I had fun. It's not as good as I would like it to be, but probably as good as I can make it!

Posting the redraw from this post as its own separate post so it's easier to see! I'm not quite happy with the face but it's probably the best I can do.
I wanted to draw something really good for this month’s Let’s Draw Discworld, but of course I started very late in the month and procrastinated like hell so I didn’t have time to finish it. Still, I want to turn something in this month, and I’m not pulling an all-nighter to finish it, because 1) the holidays are over and 2) at the end of the night it’ll be September anyway. So here is the unfinished version; sorry…
I still intend to finish it, of course, but when is another matter…
Wow, @stilltheturtlemoves, wherever did you unearth this thing from? Checking the date, its from all the way back in 2015... I had completely forgotten about it. It's got a nice idea in it, but it's obviously got lots of flaws that make me wince looking at it now.
Of course, I'm not going to finish a picture started 11 years ago, the original file is long lost anyway...
...so why not redraw it from the start?

Fjaðrárgljúfur, South Iceland by Bryan Coe
I was there in 2010! I lost my pencil.
After litteral months of dithering, I finally bought myself a new graphic tablet. Alas, it hasn't miraculously made me better at drawing. Still, here's a picture. It's Agnes Nitt; a character I used to relate to a lot when I was younger. (Even though she had better hair and was much braver than me.)
Some time last year, tidying up in my office, I found an unfinished watercolour painting of Gandalf wandering in Middle Earth, that I had completely forgotten about but must be at least 10 years old. It was very obviously unfinished, with ancient blobs of drawing gum stuck to it, yellowed and completely unremoveable. I still thought it looked good, so I hung it on my office wall for a few months even though it kept falling off. And then I had an idea: I could actually sort of finish it, touching up the foreground with gouache (that could actually cover most of the yellow blobs) while leaving the background in its hazy, unfinished state. Now it's done, and I'm quite happy with it!
(Maja helped, of course.)
My fiancé is taking me to my very first metal concert...! He's been making himself a very cool battle jacket, as the cool kids call them I guess, with patches of band names all over, and looks really badass in it. He suggested I made my own, but my knowledge of metal bands is very limited so I just got a jacket from a thrift store and stuck random things I liked on it. It's far too small and dorky as heck but there was no way it would be anything else on me...
Last December I got to participate to a school trip to Venice organised for our art history students. Beautiful place in every way. I only just managed to finished this painting based on a photo I took there at dusk (pictured with and without Maja cameo)
After over a year of regular watching, Fiancé and I are finally reaching the end of Supernatural... only six episodes to go now. I dread the end, I'll miss this show. Anyway, I really like Jack so here's a quick drawing of him! + quick doodle of the boys in their Depression Kitchen(TM)
My mum-in-law requested I paint her something, so I made this gouache painting of the Landskrona citadel next to where she lives in southern Sweden. Hadn't used gouache in maybe 20 years, but it went fine I guess? I'm happy with it anyway!
Choice quotes from our long-suffering DM (aka my fiancé) in yesterday's DnD session:
"You cannot make a raft out of puke. And you can quote me on that."
"You cannot do sneak attack damage on a wall."
"I've never seen a party this dumb without a barbarian."
(To be fair, it involved
the rogue deciding to introduce the party to the authorities by pulling out wanted posters and yelling WE'RE FAMOUS! (1)
then, as we tried to escape from prison, not one but two player characters getting their head stuck between bars
then, after we finally managed to break the wall and jumped into the water, only being saved from collective drowning by two successive Nat 20s and someone belatedly remembering -- after flailing in the water for 5 minutes -- that they had gloves of swimming)
((1) That rogue is played by the only player in the group who is really familiar with DnD rules. He reguarly uses this knowledge to expertly do the dumbest things he can think of. The rest of us are just winging it)
