I’m slowly recovering (physically and mentally) from my broken femur, and my priority is working on my comic book for Kibitz editions! I initially thought I would provide the storyboard by mid-February, or at the latest by the end of the month, but under the circumstances I made virtually no progress until mid-March.

So I did not manage to send a letter from Mexico 😌. I thought I could just say hello, but on the other hand I had prepared material for a full-blown letter, while not really knowing how to handle it from my mobile phone. Also, jetlag, illnesses, and overwhelm from so many strange and new experiences (and no, in Mexico City – a.k.a. CDMX for ‘Ciudad De MeXico’ 😊️ – you can’t get far speaking English / no Spanish 😬️). So the letter did not happen…
Anyway, here I am now with some eye candy for you 😘️!
Actually I want to print the front papers too, in a different colour scheme, so there should be a follow-up at some point ;) But for now let me show you some process pictures of the actual printing!
I’ve made it to the test print! …but let’s first pick up where we left 😌️
So I’ve reworked the base hexagonal tile for my repeat pattern.
It’s been a moment since I last tried my hand at repeating patterns, or stamp carving. Today I’m diving back with an obviously much too ambitious project: carving a stamp for an hexagon-based pattern – also, small enough to repeat on the “end papers” of my A6-size sketchbook 😅️.
This should be a short one as I’ve been and still am busy preparing a pitch of my comic project, which has to be delivered on May 16th at the latest. So let’s go!
Portrait, landscape, or something else? That is the question!
After ‘The Wolf’, here is the second ink painting in my ‘Coquelicot’ series, with some steps of the creation process.
Have you been waiting eagerly to set your eyes on the ink paintings I’ve teased a few weeks ago? Here is the first one! The second will soon follow :) For now, enjoy some steps of the creation process of ‘The Wolf’!
