Cute and delicious

Asja — Fri, 04 May 2012 08:29:24 +0000

I was asked to illustrate this apron as a birthday present for a girl who enjoys baking and making all kinds of sweet things weeks ago and I almost forgot about it until I stumbled upon it while going through my photo archives. I only wish I’ve taken a better a photo of the apron, but I was in a rush to get it delivered. Anyway, here it is: something cute and delicious to sweeten up already sweet Friday.

Happy weekend everyone!

Little collections

I’ve been putting together little collections of random stuff and combining them with my doodles. Why? Because it’s fun!

Five little things

Asja — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:50:14 +0000

Here are five little things that kept me occupied in lately:

I made a small bear painting (5×5 inches) on canvas using deco paint pens.

*****

Also, I made some new DIY flyers/business cards. they are hand drawn and then photocopied.

*****

My mini Moleskine cover got a little face-lift. I decorated it with moo stickers with my own designs and with kitchy stickers from a local store.

*****

Today I kept myself busy cleaning my home studio. Here is a detail of a shelf with acrylic paints. It will probably get cluttered with other stuff pretty soon but for now it looks neat.

*****

I sorted through my humble collection of decorative papers to see which one will get used a photo backdrop next.

September flowers

Asja — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 17:41:48 +0000

September and October have always been my favorite months and Autumn has always been my favorite season. It’s the time I feel most inspired and productive and I am usually bursting with energy and new ideas. And I have especially good feeling about this Autumn, I am already in mood for creating awesome stuff and I can’t wait to start drawing intensely again after a Summer spent mostly taking pictures and working at a slower pace on more simple projects. In a about a week or so I will start blogging regular again after much needed break from online world and I have a ton of new photos and drawings to share!

For now here is some September flowers, three different versions of same drawing:

Simple ideas

Asja — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 15:49:30 +0000

Sometimes when I don’t have time to seriously draw I doodle simple (usually abstract) shapes, scan and color them and save in one of my “work in progress” folders. Usually I find those simple drawings useful as additional layers when composing my illustrations.

( If you’re interested about the way I make my illustrations you can read about it here.)
So here are few of those simple doodles I made lately which may or may not end up as part of actual illustrations : )

Stuff I made over the weekend

Asja — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 13:35:08 +0000

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty uneventful and laid-back (which I loved) and spent mostly making things, eating good food and listening to obscure 90′s punk rock bands! Yay!
Here is a little showcase of:

*stuff I made over the weekend*

*big doodle*

Sometimes there is nothing more relaxing than drawing a big pattern! I felt like I needed to get rd of some stress this weekend so I doodled this big piece (it’s 30×40 cm) and it was very therapeutic.

*messy cards*

In art, I love seeing accurately drawn, clean (and usually uninterrupted ) lines and I’m always striving to better the quality of lines in my work and to draw them with confidence. But sometimes, I also feel like taking a break from accuracy and control and just want create messy stuff : ) So, a couple of days ago I took a bottle of ink and dipped a grill stick into it and started drawing and making messy lines on cards. Later I colored them with crayons and ended up with fourteen messy cards, different than my usual style.

*gift tags*

I also made some gift tags using mini prints of my illustrations and ended up turning one of them into a key chain.
