Three Things Drawing Club

How are you doing in these weird times?  Here in our corner of the Danish countryside, things don’t look that much different. The ducks are swimming in the lake, weeds are popping up from the earth, and the sky is blue. But. There are no plane-trails in the sky. I can’t remember a time in…

Draw your Gloom.

Hi, thank you for stopping by.  I hope you managed to stay virus-free so far! These days I am going through a regular cold. Nothing dangerous, Just that my nose is running, I have a pounding headache, and feel sorry for myself. My activities shift between lying on the sofa watching Corona-news, drinking hot chocolate, and…

How illustration can help to get your brand message across. You can’t use photos if you are working with something sensitive, like dementia care. Which is why Rachael Wonderlin from Dementia by Day is using illustrations.   In a couple of Zoom sessions Rachael explained to me what she is doing for her customers in her business.…

René Hjetting – Branding through illustrations

René is an author and marketing expert from Denmark. He is one of the clients who actually visited me in my studio for a Brand Storyboard session. But since then I have done several live-drawing sessions with him on Zoom. It is just easier, even if we are both in the same country. And now…

New year, new decade, new adventures!

Let’s turn time back a few days to when I started writing this article. It is the 31. 12.2019. I am moving tables around instead of writing. My teenage son is going to have his new year’s party in my studio, and I have to make space for dancing. It looks like my new year’s…

Happy holidays … with random animal.

As you know, I am a visual storyteller, and creative by profession. To create a holiday illustration shouldn’t be a problem, right? Everybody is writing holiday greetings! But. I have been procrastinating for days. Time is running out, and impostor syndrome is creeping in… I try to draw Santa Claus in his sleigh. No. Much…

How to make people buy from you

  I’m trying to learn as much as I can about business. It is not something that comes naturally to me. I’m an artist! I’m not supposed to think so much about business! (Maybe you can relate to this kind of thinking?) Well. After living quite some years I am slowly finding out that nobody…

Octopus, tomatoes and a volcano

We just came back from an all-too-short holiday in Sicily. It was wonderful, and so packed with hikes, sightseeing and Sicilian delicacies that I almost didn’t have time to draw. Here is a little sketch from  the beach of Taormina where Oskar ( the one with the red shorts) was greeted by a curious little…
