Set of most strange (for me) animals - ant-eater, sloth, koala, armadillo, alcatraz azure, duck-bill and echidna. It’s good to be in a little bit weird company!

We’re going to celebrate Easter, also called Pascha in two weeks. The oldest tradition is to use dyed and painted chicken eggs, but these are wooden. Ready for wrapping!

Two illustrations based on my research for Hertfordshire University MA in Art & Design. I was inspired by the legend about the River Styx. This river separates the world of the living from the world of the dead.

Well… About that redesign of “Popular Finances” magazine and my contribution. Previous last time wasn’t really last. This is the real last time I guess.

Pattern for “Menu” magazine. I made it long ago.

A lot of things happening and I don’t know how to tell you about. It’s kind of tricky to have a blog-folio. You need to be quite serious about it. And from the other hand our life consists of silly things, well, mostly;) Think I’ll separate my blog from my portfolio pretty soon.  Take care!

A couple of days ago Erin, who runs Design for Mankind, asked about what inspires me. After quite a short period of time she compiled the first issue of Design for Mankind Inspiration e-zine. Inside you’ll find inspiration boards and words on inspiration by some of Erin’s favorite artists, designers, bloggers and flickr friends. Enjoy!
