Hello friends!
How are you doing today? It's rainy and grey here, so the best thing to do is to curl up in a blanket with a hot cup of tea, and read a good book. Which is probably what I'll do after finishing work for today. But first, let's talk about the new timed edition prints!
I'm releasing two illustrations I finished very recently, and one from last year, that slipped under the radar and never made it into print for some reason. I'll tell you a bit more about each one and what inspired it, but first a few basic infos:

And a few words on each painting (in order):
SKY IS FALLING
I've come to really enjoy painting cityscapes these last few years, and I love giving things a bit of a surreal twist. So this one ties in with a few other upside down illustrations I painted in 2021. I wanted this one to feel light and airy.
NIGHT LIGHTS
This one is inspired by those winter nights, when the sky turns orange. It gives off such an eerie but beautiful atmosphere that I've always loved.
OUT OF PLACE
I painted this in March 2021 as a way to deal with my feelings of being cooped up at home, and with the uncertainty and uneasyness of the whole situation. I didn't really consider realeasing a print of it at first, but now I think some of you can relate to the painting.
