Kala Muis

This luscious lady is one of my Mosbossers, bunch of silly elves.

Although Mosbossers get born by falling out of the sky and no one remembers where they were before that, Kala is convinced that she used to be a mouse.
She's very fond of all the little critters in the forest and throws a tantrum when she sees somebody eating small yummy roasted animals or squashing a bug or something.

I have no idea how she moves that tail. Mosbossers don't have tails. :o

Illustrations, pencil drawings, paintings, photos... I like a lot of different styles and materials, so I try out everything and have a very varied gallery here.

Time for me to upload... anything, really. I haven't done much personal projects lately, but I've had a lot of assignments for the libraries I work at.
I do write down ideas I get but don't have time for. I hope to get a lot of them done tomorrow on Drawing Day! There are several deadlines in June for things I want to participate in...


Drawing Day 2009. (May 2009)
Don't forget, Drawing day this year is on June 6th!

Is anyone here going to participate? I did last year and it was great! I'll be at it again this time, I'll make sure of it.
I think I'll post everything again in my gallery here. I've made a folder with my favorites [link] from last year, gonna add those from this year too of course!


Elfquest Fanart is back! (Apr 2009)
That's right, and I'm rather excited about it! Really missed a place like that. Anyways, just a quick message to let you know about it's reappearance in case you didn't know yet. :]

More art related news; I gave 2 workshops in the past month. Was great to do for a change, but won't become anything to do more often, since they so drain me. But especially with the 4-8 year olds was so much fun! And they come up with the most crazy ideas! Really nice to see I could inspire them with my fairytale related assignments.
The animal drawing with the 20 year olds was harder. I think it would've worked out better if they were at least used to drawing some more, then I could've been able to help them improve - now it was like learning them a complete new thing, and that's just not for me. Especially since they were supposed to draw from living (and thus moving) animals; just works much better when you're comfortable with drawing in general in the first place.

The alcohol prevention posters were very much applauded so far; by my colleagues at least. ;D Health week starts next week. At least people find them hilarious, and that's what I was going for. :P


Gluren bij de Buren. (Mar 2009)
Amateur Art Week is approaching in Belgium, and I've been asked to join in again. Unfortunately my new municipality canceled their participation, but I could join my old one instead, since I only moved recently. Nice eh? :D
This year I'll probably be allowed to display 5 pieces in stead of 3! So I want to show more disciplines than just oilpainting this time. Silly cheetah will play a part, and I think I'll submit both my Loverboys posters. Room for 2 more paintings, one being the last finished one I made in October and haven't uploaded here yet. Oops sorry, no decent photo of it yet. :o I'm not sure what the 5th one will be.

I haven't really gotten to drawing for my own projects lately, but I've had several more poster requests for the libraries I work at, so I've been busy with those. I don't quite like all of the results, but I don't have the time to perfect them.
I think A2 is also too big for me to be used for drawing (painting is okay, that doesn't seem to be working for me when smaller), so if I redo them, they'll be at a much smaller size, and perhaps different medium as well. I may upload photos of the big versions later.

I did finally get to paint again. I have some unfinished ones lying around, but before I go on with those I had to get into painting again and started new ones. ;P I hope to have those done soon.
