October – “Direction”
After contemplating the sense of rhythm in my art practice, the thought about direction came up almost inevitably. Where to go? What to reach? A straight line ahead, or venturing out and coming back to home base? A long trip or short, spontaneous ones? I’m one of those people who walk into a store and…

A little update
I owe you a bit of an update don’t I? Over the past few months I’ve been dealing with one of those monster depressive episodes. The kind that start off like a ‘normal’ one, and then simply don’t seem to end. It’s nothing new; I’ve been suffering from depression since my teenage years, but dealing…

“Pace” – A monthly inspiration post
Every month I post a royalty-free photo and a word that I feel suits it. Perhaps it will inspire you to think, draw, paint or even just enjoy it. My grandmother told me more than once; you’re always so busy. Your generation has so much to do, all the time. I thought about that for…

“Tomorrow” – A monthly inspiration post
Every month I post a royalty-free photo and a word that I feel suits it. Perhaps it will inspire you to think, draw, paint or even just enjoy it. How do you capture tomorrow when you don’t know what it brings? Why does thinking of tomorrow feel different, depending on today? I like thinking about…

Instead, we have access to knowledge and people from all around the world, much of it at very low cost. But teaching yourself a new skill also introduces…

February 2021
Friends. I have a major thing to share with you. THE SUN IS SHINING. I mean, I know the sun is technically always shining, but I’m of course referring to the situation where it is shining on my damn face, signalling my body that it’s time to shed the seasonal depression bullshit. As I’m typing…

“Weary” – A monthly inspiration post
Every month I post a royalty-free photo and a word that I feel suits it. Perhaps it will inspire you to think, draw, paint or even just enjoy it. Sometimes a photo just captures the way I feel, in one shot, one moment. I find it hard to find a word that describes how I…

“Senses” – A monthly inspiration post
Every first Friday of the month I post a royalty-free photo and a word that I feel suits it. Perhaps it will inspire you to think, draw, paint or even just enjoy it. Try not to feel pressured or intimidated. Art is about you, what you want to create or accomplish. Even when you have…

“High Contrast” – A monthly inspiration post
Every first Friday of the month I post a royalty-free photo and a word that I feel suits it. Perhaps it will inspire you to think, draw, paint or even just enjoy it. I love contrast more than anything. In my teenage years I built a darkroom so I could develop my own photos and…
