I have slight reservations posting these on blog mainly dedicated to children´s book illustrations. In a way they are byproducts. I am working on illustrations for a prestigious non- fiction children´s book and not surprisingly I can´t show anything yet. I do one of these per week. At the moment I like painting nudes once again, basically because they allow more freedom than portraits. I always think portraits should look like the person portrayed so feel a lot freer painting these. They all are tempera and ink.

An unused by-product from a job I am working on. The colours are a little to bright. I would have worked on those, but they were replaced by an illustration of another kind of penguin….

A sketch in Cologne I did a few weeks ago. It was raining and we had to fend of a slightly disturbed woman who wanted to model for us (and deliver a monologue of the most boring kind).
More where that came from….
