My short graphic novel, "A Wisp of Morning Air" (published in 2021), is available as an e-Book. You can get all the details in my S h o p (linked in Bio).
ā
The smell of a countryside summer. The sound of a little bubbly stream. A day at the river. Collecting rocks and walking through high grass.
ā
Kirke spends a weekend in the countryside at her grandmas house. She finds herself indulging in reminiscences of her childhood, summer days she spent with her grandma and how much she misses this place. And begins to ask herself, where she belongs.

This idea has been sitting with me for a few months. The images at least. And now I finally had the time to bring everything to paper.
Feel like saying 'Sorry' for the gloomy tone, but I can assure you, it was such a joy working on this. And it's definitely meant to be uplifting :)
As always: made with the @pentel_official brush pen.
SURPRISE ORIGINAL ARTWORKS are BACK!
ā A limited edition of original Ink Drawings.
As always, the motif will be a surprise. The character and theme will be a result of my current state of mind, inspiration, mood and atmosphere. I will only draw a character once, and you will get the original artwork.
So far, I had the honor of drawing and shipping more than 30 Surprise Originals for you. Which makes me incredibly grateful and happy to be able to share my work under such special conditions and to have found so many trusting people.
If you want to get some detailed info, head over to my s h o p.
Thank you,

Sketches for my Book PUNI ā a Picture Book for Kids
First time for me to draw fire bugs and a stag beetle. As always made with my trusty Ball Point Pen and a Pentel Brush Pen in my Sketchbook.

A few raw sketches for my graphic novel at its earliest stages. Some of these ideas have been tucked away in my sketchbook for almost three years āļø
I'm working on this story with the magical @romina_nikolic .
Today is World Book Day š·
And here is a selection of Books I have worked on. In my dreams this stack will get bigger and bigger.
š to all my fellow book artists, illustrators, writers, publishers, literary agents and book lovers ā¤ļø
Some of you may knowāand some may notāthat Iāve been working on my own graphic novel for several years now.
I rarely share some progress or sketches, but today Iād like to introduce three of the characters:
Meet Mori, the 10-year-old Protagonist on a transformative journey with her mother, Erin. Their path leads them through many interesting stops. Including a visit at the hospitable and welcoming Mr. Janpu, a very well-dressed frog.
Since last year, my brilliant friend and writer @romina_nikolic has joined me as a co-writer. I truly couldnāt ask for a better companion to help bring this story to life ā
āØOriginal Art DropāØ
While many of you have participated in my āSurprise Original Artā series in the pastāan event Iāve been so grateful to see you embraceāthis drop is different. For the first time, Iāve gone through my private archives from the last several years to curate a special selection of finished pieces.
Sharing these feels like sharing a piece of my history; Iām both nervous and excited to show them to you. This collection features 11 pieces created between 2018 and 2025, representing a true cross-section of my artistic journey.
š Please feel free to browse the full collection on my W e b s i t e, and donāt hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
This is a spread from my personal book, Puni ā a story I gave to my daughter for her 3rd birthday last year. Originally, only the cover was in color while the interiors were black and white.
For last monthās @the_cat_agency promo, I revised this illustration to create a full-color version. Itās created entirely with traditional media: soft pastels, colored crayons, and ink.
I really enjoyed the process (though I wish Iād documented it properly!) and Iām super happy with the final look. It has a nostalgic, warm aestheticālike a page from an old, yellowed book youād find on your grandparents' bookshelf. ā¤ļø
