Work in Progress

The image I am working from was one of those lucky shots with the low winter sun shining through the kitchen window onto the green shell shaped plate of vine tomatoes. The light was brilliant and I hope I can do it justice.

So Excited and proud :)

Within the next couple of weeks a Kindle ebook will be published for which I designed the cover page.
Written by the German-American author Patricia Koelle. Patricia lives in the city I called home, Berlin, and among many other things she shares my passion for the ocean. We met online because the spirit of a good friend, known to both of us, pulled some strings and brought us together. Here is a picture of the cover. The book is the first in a trilogy and for now it is only available in German. I have strong hopes that this will change because what Patricia writes is worth spreading around the world, like the oceans…

Hoping to start the New Year on the right foot

After a severe blockage I am finding my way back. Just in time for a New Year resolution.... never again to work on several large projects at the same time!!!!!!!

I was so overwhelmed, I felt paralyzed the last few months. I am not saying that I wouldn't work on something small while  working also on a larger project, but in general, I have to keep my focus on one major thing at a time. Finishing the project on the left is my focus for however long it takes and I still have a way to go.

New Studio Buddy

Meet Cyrus - he is an about 4 year old Great Dane, or Great Dane mix, and he is a rescue pet. He found his forever home at my house in June and he is the biggest pet I have ever had the pleasure of sharing my space with. If you remember the cartoon "Marmaduke", you know exactly what it is like to live with a Great Dane :)

Is it a brain?.... a heart?

Still working on it....
