Teaching at UWIC

Just want to say how impressed I am with all the talented students at UWIC (University of Wales institute, Cardiff). I have for the past weeks had the privilege to work with these illustrators of tomorrow, and it is pure joy! Funny sometimes, one gets bogged down in a routine and its difficult to get inspiration, but teaching seems to have sorted this out for me. I feel it has injected new life blood into my work! I just hope the students get the same amount of inspiration from my classes, as I get from teaching.
Looking forward to the big show!

Another day, another building....

The latest edition of my building motifs, this time for Universitas.

New work for Oss Forældre

This is one of two double page spreads I've done for the Danish family magazine 'Oss Forældre'. Strange how much of a challenge it is sometimes to do family friendly illustrations:)
