A little preview on the new canvasses that will be available after our holiday!

Cheers!

We'll be back on August 27!

Look at that!

Pieter and Joni from "De Nieuwe Barriere" asked me if I wanted to use a wall at their restaurant to display some of the canvasses I sell. They will be replaced frequently, and can be bought there or in the tattooshop.

The canvasses that I sell are always limited, signed prints. That way, you can own a unique item for a reasonable price. 

You can look at some of them on my Facebook page, and very soon they will be uploaded to the website as well. And...  the news: we're planning on opening a brandnew webshop in the fall! We'll keep you informed!

Don't forget to visit Pieter and Joni at their restaurant/tea-room. The food is delicious and there's a huge yard for the little ones to play in, even a little forest, and even some goats! 

Painting...

Now all of the paintings of my last series on wood are sold, I decided to start on a new one. For the first time the lady will have short hair, maybe that has something to do with her new hairstyle :-)

I can't wait to show you more, but first of all I have to finish up some birth cards, because the summer will be full of new life!

Last week's highlights

A beautiful view on the mountains, a cabin and - not hard to recognize - 2 robins sitting in the tree. A nice scenery and a great reminder of the fact that it's finally summer - for real!

Olivier asked for a lady with a kind of mocking attitude, as opposed to his wife's version of the same theme (as you can see below).

A tougher lady than I usually draw, this one is inspired on an avenging angel.

For Petra (Olivier's wife), I tattooed a sweet and innocent angel, standing peacefully between the flowers.

And guess what, Petra and Olivier are also from Bornem. We should take a picture of all of the 'Bornemnaars' together! :-)

Comfort(able) zone

My desk, my macbook and pen and paper, that's my comfort zone. On the wall some mandala/crochet inspirated blueprints. Crochet doilies may seem a little dull, but they often have beautiful patterns, very similar to mandalas.

I don't understand anything about the crocheting itself, but my the lady of the house does :-) . You can follow her here.

So, what I wanted to show you: the design I made in my 'comfort zone' on Tuesday...

...and the result on Wednesday. I'm looking forward already to continue with this sleeve in October! 

2 girls from Bornem

Last week this nice couple from Bornem came to the shop. We had a fun day and a great result!

Art-nouveau inspired ornamental dotwork flowing from the neck to the back of the upper arm.

Freehand poetic drawing on the inside of the upper arm.

A little gnome...

 5 days ago, a cute little baby was born in Ostend. I illustrated the birth card.

Welcome baby Lenn!

Mandala

Yesterday I added the mandala to the center of this backpiece. 

The mandala consists of patterned dotwork.
