Hey everyone,

It's been a long time since I've posted anything on here.
But I'm back!
Since the last time, I got my bachelor diploma AND my master's degree, which I'm pretty proud of.
It's been two years of hard work, but with a lot of fun in between.
Here's a little update:
In my third year of studying illustration I really discovered gouache paint, at first it was hard working with a new medium, but I quickly grew to love it:
I ended up making illustrations for the novel "The Third Policeman" by Flann O'Brien:
(This book was obviously never published or anything, this was an assignment for school)

 
I graduated without a lot of problems and decided I wanted my masters's degree as well.
During my final year I only made one book, for which I made a little over 80 paintings, ending up using only half. (oh well)
It was a semi-autobiographical book, about losing someone you hardly know, who should be important to you, but you just don't really care. That's all I'm telling you :)











It was so much work, but really worth it, because I learned to commit to one thing and finish it, without growing tired of it (which was a really big problem for me).


I really feel like I can finally call myself an illustrator, an artist even.
After graduation I went back to living at home with my mom. I'm still drawing and painting and trying to figure out how I can make a living out of it. Which is another adventure I'm ready for!
Here's some of my latest work, I'll try to update a bit more often.
Thanks for reading!
