✨ Seraph of the Meadow

I randomly sketched this yesterday and thought it was a cool idea. Really love the result if I‘m being honest!! The ribcage is something I added in the end - I felt like the picture was missing something…

🌱 Two pieces I created for the upcoming CSD parade in my town! Two months to go but I wanna be prepared lol. Also, I gotta get these printed. I‘ll have some Postcards, some stickers and one medium sized print. Not exactly sure yet which one will be which size. I‘m also working on more designs atm. Can‘t wait!!

🌱 We went to look at the toads today! There were hundreds that we could see, probably thousands that we couldn‘t see and I‘m just so in love with their little sounds that they make. Such a serene little choir.

🌱 Carnival in Germany and I‘m using my normal clothes and strategic accessories to dress up in hobbit clothes. I had my ears, and when I arrived at work I swapped the shoes for diy huge hobbit feet. Got tons of compliments haha!

🫟 The Sea of Corruption

This one turned out so cool! It was also the first one I finished because it looked the prettiest after the ink had dried. It was created on Hahnemühle paper that absorbed the water better and the beautiful texture of the paper interacted really nicely with the neocolor crayons, resulting in a nice grain. It‘s also crazy to see how well my tape sticks to better quality paper.. The picture ended up reminding me lots of the Sea of Corruption, the forests of giant mushrooms that cover the world in the Studio Ghibli film „Nausicaä“.

I almost wanted to leave it be and enjoy the dried result of the wet on wet mingle of pigments that you see in the picture below:

I love humans. Saw this stone in a flower bed outside of my work, and it appears that some kid drew butterflies on it and placed it there. It‘s so fun to walk around with eyes open to spot stuff like this ♥️

🌳 Ant‘s Eye View of the Forest

Second piece that came of my „Intuitive Abstract Art“ Session last weekend.

Here, I manipulated the shapes a little more by not wetting the entire sheet of paper but painting the clear water in shapes already. The drops of colourful ink then did the rest, spreading the pigment and mixing and blending and flowing into each other.

The combination of colors and shapes really obviously cried „forest“ so crayon textured I added made the shapes into trees. I think.

🫟✨ Intuitive Abstract Art

This weekend I thought I should try out something new and splashed random colours of ink (Rohrer & Klingner) together on a wet piece of paper.

I did 3 versions, I‘ll share the others later. This one was the first and I thought it was irredeemably ugly, especially with the second and third try next to it but when I went at it with my wax crayons (Caran d‘Ache Neocolor II) it ended up becoming.. something. I‘m kind of seeing a coral reef in it?

I absolutely love this approach to art. Most of it was up to the water and the pigments without me manipulating it too much. The result is chaotic and imperfect but to me it kind of has to be. That‘s what makes me look closer and look again and again.

Maybe I should base my first collection of original art that I‘m gonna offer in my shop on this design? I love the muted colours and the sparkle and the simple white background ✨

📸 My second round of photos arrived! They were taken with my Olympus Pen EE3. They‘re half frame, so one photo holds two shots. There were a few that turned out shit because I habe yet to understand the settings. It‘s gonna take a while of trial and error, but I’ll get there.

But there were several shots that turned out really pretty, too! And these were my favourites. Unfortunately I was unable to restrain myself and took photos in bad afternoon lighting, hence my fairylights are visible as reflections.

Look closely on the blue part in the first photo: I was able to capture cranes flying in formation.

For some photos I calculated what photos would be printed together so they‘d match. Like the tree and the path, I thought it would be cool if they went together in a photo print. The ones that don‘t match very well I will probably cut apart.

Absolutely love taking photos this way. I love that it takes time for them to be developed and sent back. I love that I can‘t see the result immediately. I thought after the first run I‘d be able to decide which camera I prefer but no, I still love both of them equally. I even love that some shots turned out mediocre or even bad because that‘s part of this.

🌞 Today I received my first batch of analog photos that I took last month. I have two cameras and these photos were taken with my Olympus Mju 2 on a Kodak Ultra Max 400 Film. I love how these and some other photos came out 🌞
