Owl Tattoo

In autumn a colleague approached me, asking, if I could design her a cute female owl as cover-up tattoo. She had two designs in mind and wondered if I could make a combination of both. I drew two sketches which she liked instantly. It was unclear which colors the tattoo would have in the end, so I made a black and white illustration.
The tattoo came out really nicely. Only the reflections in the eyes are missing. Still I am quite happy about my first tattoo design on skin!

Hi folks!
I had some very nice holidays, so I couldn't post any new pictures. But here I go again!
Shortly before holidays, I was in the city and had some time left. I went to the Jungfernstieg in Hamburg where I wanted to read a bit. But that day lots of people decided to feed the swans and gooses and ducks that always swim around there. So I armed myself with my sketchbook and later on, at home, I added some water color.
Additionally, it was my brother-in-law's birthday and I painted a parrot, acrylics on canvas, for him (because he likes parrots, obviously). I used a reference from the great animal photgrapher Andrew Zuckermann. I wish I had more patience (and time), so I could have added more detail... Practice increases patience!

The iridiscent turquoise I used on some spots reflects the light wonderfully

Logo-Time

A friend asked me to make a logo for the day-care-center she works in. A few things were predetermined, such as the cross and 3 little birds. I also had a picture of the bird, which I adapted and improved. The final and approved one is above, accompanied by some earlier variations.

New year's big band

A happy new year to everybody! :->
These little birds are a birthday present to a good friend - we once imagined cute, fat little birds and crows playing in a big band.
Mobile phone uploads still challenge me, but at least I get to update my blog :-p
