Gave a tour and talk at my exhibition for a primary school class today. The kids were great and had a lot of good questions - including "why does this painting cost so much?" 😅😅😅

Sounds like a plan. These days I wish I could be a snail staying inside my house waiting for spring... But art helps, too ☺️

😍 Lovely! First I thought you made a paper cut bird! Looks great 👌

Different little sketches mostly done with pencil and one colorful landscape sketch in yellow, purple and pink.

Found these little sketches today and wanted to showcase them, as I love their quirkiness. Something that gets lost in a "polished" illustration quite often... I really want to learn how to keep the charm of a quick sketch in my work. ☺️

Ooohhh, how great! Would love it 🤩✌️💜

Oops 😅 but they wouldn't last long here, too...

Today I finally finished working on another children's book and I can't wait to have more time to just play 😁 Have a great start into the new week 🤗💜

Do we use hastags here? #characterplay #characterart #sketchbookplay #kidlitart #germanillustrator

Picture book cover of the German picture book "Harri Häschen fliegt" - showing a little jumping easter bunny surrounded by a frame of beautiful spring flowers.

Yay, a new book I illustrated is out today 🐰🌷🌼 and I really enjoyed working on it. One of the best things was illustrating that lovely flower frame on the cover 🥰

Sketchbook character - elephant like - looking a bit insecure.

Sketchbook page full of different characters with bright colours on black background.

Hello... Well, I'll give it a try here. Just have to figure out how everything works and feel a bit like this little guy at the moment. A bit insecure but already surrounded by friends ☺️

So niedlich, Merle 😍😍😍
