The first sketch for a textile print I’ve been planning to realize. The project is now under work – I will clean the image a bit and then it will be printed on a couple of cushions.
My original logo design for Tarinakone presented a sheep whose “wool” was made of red balls… I got a new commission to make more variations of the sheep – so I made several new versions. One of them was this flower-sheep (also available with red and yellow flowers), and in addition also a star sheep, a couple of christmas sheeps, a summer sheep and even a naked one!
I have those two things I seem to repeat time after time in my drawings: messy ribbons and strings and these odd looking flowers. I don’t know what they are or what they are meant to be – I just like to draw them. Before colouring this image I just had to scan it; I propably will make several variations of it with Illustrator and Photoshop…
Pigment ink drawing for aquarelle paper. I found this perfect, rough Cartiera Magnani Toscana Aquarello paper – which I found out to be actually quite good drawing paper, which most rough aquarelle papers are not… I decided to draw outlines with archival pigment ink and then colour the images with water colours. The colouring just was forgotten…
