ILLUSTRATIONS FOR THE NOVEL "DUNKELWÄRTS"

During most of my free time (which always feels to be too short) I am writing, mostly still practicing to improve my writing skills, so there has not been much to show here. But now I illustrated a German science fiction novel: "Dunkelwärts" by Ulf Fildebrandt. (It's not published yet, I'll post a link when it's available.) This was my very first job as an illustrator (which feels pretty cool), but I found out that I would probably starve as such. I am just drawing much too slowly! Well, I guess I can say the same about writing, but I tend to ascribe that to the painful lack of continuous chunks of writing time ...

ANOTHER BABY BREAK

"Wenn du Gott zum Lachen bringen willst, erzähl' ihm von deinen Plänen." (Quote from the film Amores Perres)

All my plans changed when I got pregnat again last year. (Well, THAT was a plan, too, but pretty incompatible to my plans for arting and writing...)
One painting for the wedding of two very good friends and a christmas card were practically the only two creative things I managed to do during my pregnancy. And since little Ragnar was born in May I could not even think about painting - let alone writing - so far. Hormones have taken over. But as stressful as it often is, I enjoy every minute with my family. Arting and writing will have to wait a bit, again.
