“The swamp is a secretive and sometimes monstrous place. It’s a treasury of things long hidden and forgotten – and the keys to unlock them are found within, if you dare to step a foot into the misty grounds.“

Step by step, the stars shall guide,
Through dark nights and barren land wide.
Where eyes like lanterns gently glow,
And secret paths beyond the known go.
The wind will weave a whispered tune,
Of dreams that dance beneath the moon.
No fear shall hold the wanderer’s name,
For all who seek are kin the same.
So take the path where none have been,
Past hills and stones, through veil and green,
For those who walk with open heart
Shall find where wonder’s journeys start.
Fly far, fly free, and do not fear nor grieve,
The spirits sing to those who bravely leave.
And when the stars are all you see,
Know this: they remember thee.
Liselotte, who is already featured in the last post, now also decorates this sketchbook cover and even got a new friend – a dragon-frog – ready for any adventure!
Small originals (ACEO-size; 6.3 x 8.9cm) of some of my weird critters, drawn with ink and white pencil on toned paper. On the left is Liselotte, a velociraptor who excitedly realized she can breathe fire. On the right a wolfish dragon named Agor with a weird laugh and an obsession for bad jokes.
The concept of this work came to my mind during last summer when I was visiting Japan (I guess the temple makes this obvious, doesn’t it?) and I started working on it around the end of last year. Many hours of work already went into this and many, many more will – and I really enjoy this journey, no matter how long it will be. There is a lot of world to see, isn’t there?

“The monsters we slayed,
skull to stone, blood to rose.
“My sword for you”, Asura growled,
survivor’s patron saint with crimson crown.“
“Wicked winds and shadows in the deep,
Exploding moon and fading lights.
Outlive the hurricane, create a sun to guide.
Ignite a spark in my heart and let me breathe again.“
“Outlive the hurricane, create an empire to reign.
Among all the small things, I’ll be a perfect storm.
And someday I’ll understand, the question to my answers.“
“Wicked winds and shadows in the deep,
Exploding moon and fading lights.
Build a shelter to last, a sun to guide.“
“The mind always wanders, on known and unknown paths, observing, thinking, trying to unravel the mysteries behind all living and dead eyes.”
