drawings, illustrations & wildlife art

I’m illustrating for a german bird magazin little stories about birdwatchers. Sometimes the editorial team mails me only a few sentences with the order to create an illustration. This time he story is about a hide somewhere in Sweden, stuffed with photographers. They are surrounded by hundreds of cranes, and lot of them are mating. And there was a guy, who shouted »Copuuula«, every time he saw a mating crane pair.

These illustrations are part of a children’s book project I illustrated during the last three months. The idea developed Katrin Krieg – a friend of mine. The story is about a cat and its family. They are moving from a city flat to a country house, with a big wild garden.
