Behind the scenes #9 – I’ve become a freelancer
Read MoreEven though you may not have watched my (Hungarian) vlog about a day in the life of an illustrator, (in which I meet clients and try on wedding rings in the middle of a Thursday) you might wonder how all this work fits into my days while also maintaining a dayjob. After all, it has […]

July downloadable calendars
Read MoreIt is nearly July, so here’s a new forest animal to decorate your screen for another month: in July it is Elisa, the hedgehog girl. I have just met Elisa the other night, she ran across the road – luckily she reached the other side without harm and ran into a neighbouring garden. Take care […]

Illustration post-production: scanning and editing artwork
Read MoreIn case of digital illustrations it is obvious how artwork is transferred to paper and how it is reproduced. For manual illustrations, the situation is not so clear.

If you happen to draw in a sketchbook for some strange reason, you use a wire-bound one, so you can just tear […]

May downloadable calendars
Read MoreSummer has arrived in Hungary – not officially perhaps, but the weather thinks so anyway. I can’t say I’m particularly happy about this, I would rather spend May in the comfortably cool Canada, so on this month’s calendar I put a forest animal native to North America, the racoon. Our racoon answers the name of […]

New medium #5 – metallic watercolours
Read MoreIt’s been a while since the New Medium series was present on the blog, but a few weeks ago I laid my hands on something interesting: I met the Finetec Pearlcolors paints on Youtube first and immediately concluded that it would probably be years before I can buy them in Hungary. Next thing I knew, […]

The future of creating
Read MoreA few months ago I took part in a conference titled ‘The future of creating’. Unfortunately this event had nothing to do with creativity, instead the presentations were packed with 3D printers, drones and robots, but all the same, it made me think a lot about my own profession. After some hours of hearing a […]

The days are much longer, and so Otto, the boar baby is happily digging the ground, in the hope of finding something delicious among the spring flowers. He is the one on the April downloadable calendar. :) As […]
