Sunny June Weekend, In Drawings.

Easy Summer Style To Enjoy Sunny Weather.

This year we’ve had a good spring and (so far) a very hot summer. I like to fill my free time with hiking, watersports, reading, bbq & picnics. This is the kind of outfit you’ll usually find me in. Wishing everyone a happy summer!

Hanging on to Summer: My Cozy Trans Seasonal September Style, Illustrated.

Sneezing Into September: An Illustrated Recap.

September for me started with a bad cold, flu, or whatever it was. I´ve been trying to get better with tea and honey, lemon juice, vitamin C rich fruit and putting lots of ginger and garlic in all my food.

When I´m not at home trying to rest, this has been my favorite outfit lately. As you can see, I´m hanging on to summer with my sandals and (mostly) unnecessary sunglasses. The umbrella on the other hand is very necessary, unfortunately. The beautiful fair trade leather bag, that I had my eye on for a long time, I was lucky enough to find at a vintage shop not so long ago, in excellent condition. Yay!

I hope to feel well enough soon to enjoy the last sunny days. At the same time I also love the idea of a cozy autumn and just making the most of any kind of weather and every season.

Hope you are all having a good start of September. See you soon!

Bonjour! I hope you had a good week. Here it became autumn from one day to the next. It’s just raining all day, perfect for working from home on my illustrations.

Casual June Staycation Outfit.

After a very rainy May, we’re having a super sunny June so far, and I’m loving it! When I’m not working I’m spending all my time outside, near, on, or in the water or hiking and picnicking. I hope you’re enjoying June as well so far!

This drawing is from the June page of my birthday wall calendar. I updated it slightly for this year. I own many on the items on here, including the top, denim short, bikini and Birkenstock sandals.

New Spring Colors!

2021 Spring Summer Pantone Trend Colors

Every new season I like to take a look at the new color trend predictions and buy a few new paints or pencils in shades that I particularly like and want to use in my work. It will save me mixing time, and I love going to the art supply store.

I made this drawing while I was looking up the spring summer 2021 color palettes. I especially like the pinks and neutrals at the moment. What do you think about these “new trend colors”?

Happy First Day Of Spring, In Drawings.

Enjoy Spring 2021!

Happy first day of spring! (On the Northern Hemisphere that is.) This illustration is a collection of fashion, food and plant items to celebrate the start of spring and to hopefully give you some sunny spring vibes! It really sums up my personal spring mood, style and plans.

I did not expect we’d be going into our second lockdown spring. But, I’m hopeful that the end of the pandemic is near and life will start to get back to normal soon, and plan to enjoy spring as much as I can.
