Drawing under the influence of fleas. That is, flea bites, and the scent of flea-repellent. I got a little bit slack about cleaning studio and had a little flea explosion.
Still on a role with masks, and bird-headed people. I was reminded of this theme by several posts by John Coulthart over at feuilleton. More

A couple of posts ago, I shared a number of pictures that seem to tell stories. This time round, I’m sharing two drawings I did myself, which was inspired by a stories. The first inspiration came from Cornelia Funke’s “Inkdeath”.
In that book, there is a giant who takes on the colours of his surroundings. I find now, when I go back to read that passage, that I got several things wrong. The giant is supposed to have inhumanly round eyes, and he is also supposed to be naked. Oh well. Here is the passage: More
