I would discribe me and my work as a kind of strange but quite lovely. Nothing in life is what it seems like to be. Every story got a story behind what people try to hide. Like in my paintings. Every kind of art I am doing got a statement behind. Lucky those who understand it, and also lucky those who not.
Hungry feeling
This image is a homage to the song of Nick Cave “where the wild roses grow”. It is a extraction of an illustrated short story about the song. I really loved that song and that inspired me to illustrated in my way.
I think it really fit with the song. It is quite mysterious and also full of love.

I love this image and I am glad it made it into the 24. I love the bold use of colour and the dark edge to your work. Good Luck. It's a Yay from me. wotto |
