These two cases are soon going to two new owners. Just before they leave my studio I thought it would be nice to share it with you guys as well.

Creature 1.0 Video
Walking with dinosaurs the movie
One day, my creatures will have a feature like this as well.. I hope.. Till then, this is a great alternative!
A small new sketchbook
Busy now with working out these sketches. These will become some smaller color prints eventually.
Painted drawings…?
New work; paintings on wood, for a new collection of creatures
+20 new pages full of creatures… and I don’t even have my big book of inspiration now! Once I completely move to my new studio, Natural Curiosities of Albertus Seba should give met yet another boost with new ideas.
I will post some new stuff in the very near future…
The second 2D collection
A second page of creatures. A diversity that can be found in jungles, warm and moist places.
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.
A new way of viewing
