#the100dayproject 2018 Days 51-100

I really had fun with this year’s project! And I really made a page every day. I loved seeing nature further unfold in May and June for the second part of the project and tried a couple of new techniques. Hand painted watercolour was my go-to-technique, but I also tried tighter illustration styles and some… Read More

I am off to some early Easter holidaying ☀️🌼☀️

It will not be quite as warm and tropical and bikini-weather like as for @juliadeniraco in @vavea_bikini (with a print of mine 🌴🌺👙)

Still - a lot of vitamin sea will be involved for sure 🌊 and I might be posting a bit here and there, but mostly I will go with the flow. Sea you!

Straight out of my sketchbook - ‘Doodle Jungle’ for French brand @lafianceeofficiel 

I love how they worded their brand story - it draws inspiration from its many travels across the globe and infuses it in its collections with their vibrant prints. They strive to share the principals of a joyful and constantly changing/travelling femininity in which feeling good and having a great time is of utmost importance. 

Travel, vibrancy, joy and femininity - I have one more print with them coming 🌴🌸💫

That’s how it goes - I painted this tropical art That’s how it goes - I painted this tropical artwork in wintery Northern Germany about this time three years ago, made it into a repeating pattern, licensed it to Swedish brand @brightswimwear in July last year, they launched it on swimwear as part of their ‘Hearts on Fire’ collection a month ago, and now it is already hitting the beaches of Hawaii, Florida and Australia. We have had quite a bit of snow here in Northern Germany recently 😉
