For the older fans, I've started a new painting series 'Porcelain', which is completely different from the digital illustrations. Just so you know it's still me.

After building something, you take away the scaffolding, so it stands on its own.
Itty bitty saturday sketch.
I went to the printer today and oh boy that's a lot of prints to pack.
It's great to see the very old work, the first designs of 'Itchi5' back then (the white drawings left top) and seeing how it developed on the road.
I've made 5 small 'time' selections out of hundreds of drawings, and with a bit of luck I'll add them this or next week to the website for order. 😊
p.s. scroll most of them on https://itchi5.com under 'ilustration' and 'archive'.
Me at the voting office today in Berlin
woman - you can only vote for the local politicians because you're not officialy german
me - but I've been living here for 14 years..
woman - yes, sorry, thats how the rules a-
me - (smile) is it because I'm dutch? Some bad feelings from the past?
all 4 employees - Oooooooooh haha that hurts!..
man - (smiles) Well you know, 'ortnung muß sein'.
Germans do have humor, you just have to know them a bit.
Last week I turned half a century.
At first I though 'that's really old!', but with life expectancy now at roughly 80, and in 30 years about 100, I'm only half way!
So much drawings to draw and paitings to paint. Can't wait.
Conversation with my brain while trying to remember a customer's name.
me - This nice person just introduced herself as 'Ina', Remember that.
brain - I'll remember everything about her except her name.
me - Remember this name.
brain - I don't even like 'Mirella'
me - It's 'Irma'
brain - Best I can do is to leave it blank.
me - Irmona will not like this.
Ina - Are you always talking to yourself like this?
me - sorry Franzesca, nothing personal.
This week I'll be bringing out a whole series of prints from a selection of 15 years of Itchi5.
You can see some of them here, and at the bottom of the page click 'archives' to see the whole lot of them.

Keep an eye out if you might be interested, I'l be adding them to the page where you can order them. 😊

Try the consent-o-matic plugin. It's from a Danish univercity and you can preset it with your favorite settings so it automagically does (most of) the banners for you.
Half way through the first acrylic paintings, just trying out colours, backgrounds and textures.
Looking good.
Itty bitty saturday sketch

Sometimes I take a quick picture and digitally do some details around it, just to see, like the pink shading and details here.
Today's sketch.
It was a great spring day outside btw. 😊

I knew it! This is what corporate social media does to people, and what those people do to this world.

The story of 'pop art'.
- I don't know anything about art, but would like to be an artist today. Hm.. What if I copy this famous cartoon, change some colours/text, and call it 'art'?
- Dude, that's just a ripoff from thi-
- OMG did you say 'art'? I'll buy it for 60k! (not to enjoy, but so I can resell it for 80k! Hahaha!)
- OMG this guy just copied a drawing and sold it for 60k! MUST BE A REAL ARTIST.
And there you have it.
Same goes for copying soup-can designs.

Genau das. Es gibt den idee das der 'initiative' einfach werbung machen woll. Ich bin mir sicher das die influencer dafür zahlt haben da zu sein, weil alle die sich auskennen mit online-geschäft wissen das es mit influencer um kohle geht.
kleine freundliche neben-sache, auch wegen dein ersten post 'endlich kein schreierei' -> t-online ist so schrecklich wie 'Bild'. Also bringt nür 'schreierei'.

Wenn die nach 3 wochen der Wal neben ihn zu haben immer noch überlegen ein sender anzubringen, dann meint das dass die keine ahnung haben was zu tun (das 'keine sender haben' war DEN grund das er wieder festgelaufen war) oder sie wollen einfach nicht das er rausgeht, und einfach da bleibt für ihren eigenen kommerzielles zweck.
Also, viel respekt für die leute die alle arbeit machen, aber die leute die entscheidungen machen hören total nicht professionell an.

Moin moin, der hat sich gerade freigeschwommen. :)
Wahrscheinlich hat er einfach geruht. Und das er schwer ist ist logisch, aber mann kann ihm sicher kurz 'frei' schleppen. Und dann mit unterwasser-lärm (boot, pumpe, orka-gerausch) fernhalten vom kuste.
Ich hoffe zum gott das die endlich mal ein gps tracker um sein schwanz gebunden haben. sonnst geht er unter und schwimmt er sich gleich wieder fest.

It's a european replacement for paypal.
Not sure if it works outside the europzone. I think so, since it's run by banks and used on the internet, but not sure. Otherwise just send them an email.
