A new way of working

After a long time of silence, I’m working full time as a art teacher at the moment, here is the first finished work I’ve made.

It’s a combination between a regular drawing and digital one. Hope you like it..

As you can see I’ve continued working with a collection as my subject. More of these will follow…

31 cabinets to fill..

Some time ago I met a biology teacher from a high school at a workshop I gave. She saw what I was doing in my work and I was asked if I would be interested in a dozen or so cabinets dating from the early 1900’s.

Today my studio had a whopping 23 wooden cabinet cases and another 8 wooden/cardboard on the shelves. Some of them are almost intact, so I won’t touch those. Others are all turned into dust, not a single butterfly to see anymore. I will use those cases to collect my own creatures in, like the ones you can see here.

A sticky egg; the Cornu arbusthuevo

 In its fetal stage, this little creature of the reptile type is fed by the juices of the tree. The thread of slime that attaches the egg to the tree acts as an umbilical cord. Glucose and water are transported to the baby Cornu abrbusthuevo (the horned bush-egg).  It is only after the birth of the creature when it develops digestive organs.  Used to digest leaves and small insects. Fully grown the arbusthuevo is comparable in size with a large frog.
