Happy New Year and cheers to you all! ✨️ May 2026 Happy New Year and cheers to you all! ✨️ May 2026 bring you lots of happiness and meaning 🍀
.
I'm not good with words (let alone speeches 🙃) but I want to thank you all for your support and love over the past year!
Can't believe the 365-days calendar drawing challenge is finished. Lots of animals passed by, which opened new horizons and ideas, so cheers to a creative new year!

PS: the tailless bat says hi... he had quite a ball yesterday 🥳

Starry starry night 🌠 . This illustration started Starry starry night 🌠

This illustration started very random, with layers of leftover paint, emptying my palette. Which is lots of fun by the way! The red dots for example appeared by placing the palette upside down 🙃 And these different colours and forms can be the starting point for something new.

One week ago, I didn't think it would be possible to finish Folktaleweek 2025, and here it is; the last of seven illustrations! All featuring the mouse with a ladder... by the way, never forget to take this handy tool with you 😉

Over the past week I've combined my 365-days project (drawing the @natgeonl animal calendar) with the @folktaleweek prompts. I'll miss that little mouse 🐀

Didn't have much time to draw yesterday. However, images start in my head, often when walking the dog 🙂. I thought the Folktale theme was Gem (hence the golden ring with green gem), to find out later the theme is Charm. Well, the mouse is trying to charm the bird... will he/she say yes?
