Botanicals always make for great subjects, I'm in love with the gestures of wild rosemary. It would be really fun to illustrate some ingredients or tasting notes for someone reaching out to connoisseurs!

Making my way through the second entry for a larger-scale collage of Hamburg's skyline with a corner of the Stadthöfe. It's such a pleasure to draw out the most important details from a slice of skyline, like in a David Macaulay book.

I've already got next year's stocking stuffers and ornaments on my mind, so here's to a happy and healthy and colorful new year! ⭐🍊⭐🍊

If you're proud of a house cocktail, a bespoke recipe print makes a great parting gift or accent piece. NYE had me in the mood for a classic, but I'm looking forward to experimenting even more with layering fresh herbs and spices this year.

Hamburg likes to bill itself as the prettiest city in Germany. Maybe this piece will scale down into a printable coloring piece, or a super special card. I should be finished building out this skyline collage soon! 🏰🏢🚢

Hard to stop thinking about Christmas, especially with grocery stores here still pushing baskets of oranges. It's a good thing I can make a basket of these any time.

No matter how much I like a quiet chilly winter and sparkly lights I miss the summer sunshine and watching something grow. I have to stop myself from going all-in on greenhouses at my place, so here's a painting instead.

For early starlight season I mashed up two very different items on my to-do list: seeing Paris and reading Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh stories. This one's The Yule at 2eme Corner!

A lot of people haven't caught this one, even though the main castle nearby gets so many visitors. Unfortunately they're temporarily closed to visitors for some reason. Supposedly they've got a spectacular porcelain collection inside.

There's a bear for every day of the year. I thought I'd start with some naturally rich, foresty colorways. These fluffy guys make me smile all the time, they're simply too good.

The changing seasons always get me excited, nailing the vibe leads to all sorts of fun decisions. A couple of extra whitewash layers on the lake and suddenly it's frozen over.

Trying to clear a project table after setting my pencil down on some new drafts. Feeling energized looking at all the different textures and ranges together. I'm happier and happier with that nighttime touristy view.

I put together this wallpaper sample as part of my application packet to the immigration authorities. Getting ready for my interview was stressful, so it was extra satisfying to show off how my work can scale up, even on one page.

I had too much fun flipping back through these, so I had to lay them out for a serious think! Wanted to take a look back at some old compositions for an upcoming project. I love doing rural landscapes, with all their Romanticism.

Finished this one with a mid-autumn palette. I wanted to dial things way up the moment I saw this guy. Nothing beats capturing the neighborhood vibe on the house itself, almost like it's more than true to life.

I can't get enough of these. I'll be blending different herbs and fruits and mixers for this series. All the different plants live on individual printing blocks, so they can be remixed endlessly. Maybe these prints could go out as sturdy cards for sharing a favorite recipe?

False winter is starting to feel a little more real every day. Feels great to get these little snapshots out the door! Really thin washes because it's that blink and you miss it sort of light.

I try to tell myself that every shopping trip gone wrong is an adventure gone right instead. Rethinking the colors got me to more of what I felt going under that bizarre little drab underpass.

On the fence about whether to finish these like a pop art cartoon or psychedelic all day. This fruit series keeps coming back to me - it needs that sort of candy-shiny waxed-fresh feel, right?

Took another look at this concept I had set aside and felt proud of it all over again. I'd love to do a commission mixing papercut with prints soon.

One of the better problems to have: I leave the house for whatever reason, and end up right back in the studio with another new design. Had to get this funky architecture on paper the moment I got back.

Ran an experiment for a new food art design. I wanted to see which lemony elements were worth the squeeze. Maybe it'll come down to whether these end up in frames or as wallpaper?
