This is the first and most elaborate version of a tattoo design I made for my mother’s 60th birthday, though she ended up going with another more simplified version without the cat portraits and with less black.
It’s a kurbits which is a common motif from the folk art of Dalecarlia where my family is from.
You can buy prints of it here.

As I said in my first sketch post I’ve decided to keep a regular sketchbook, for all those ideas that aren’t fully fledged painting concepts, or just drawing for fun without planning or pressure.
Before I found an actual sketch book to use for this purpose I used one of Henrik’s notebooks, and these are the sketches I drew in it before I found the perfect sketchbook on our New York trip.

I’ve lowered the prices of the majority of all paintings and drawings on my art site made before 2007. Many are now as low as $15- $45.
Some examples are Princess and dog, Apple, The snake pit, The horse on the meadow, Rapunsel, Pretty people, The journey and Christopher Walken, but if you want to see them all just browse all originals for sale starting from the back.

The hunt II
This is a commissioned new version of a painting I did back in 2003, of the classic unicorn hunt motif which I’ve always been fascinated by.
Prints available here.

I found another notebook from university with lots more doodles. I think this may be the last one.
