Just a quick pen sketch from a normal day at home. Much like the day of this fishing crew, I imagine. The weather is okay. The fishing is okay. The mood is okay. And that is an okay day. Especially on days like today.

Electrification
The world is heading in a new direction. Electrification is the increasing trend, while fossil fuel is on it's way out. Well, it's going to take a whole lot of time before it's really out, but maybe it'll be some day. Anyway, thinking about all of this I wondered how those traditional features of our…
Desert Sailing
Another doodle of some boats in the sand. When the tide gets in, they'll be all ready for a day of fishing. This is kind of how I feel when I get up in the morning. But I guess that coffee is my tide, in this situation 🙂
A Red Morning
The motivation behind this drawing/painting was to see if I could make a good seascape using a pen tool. I often paint water, but I rarely draw it. So I did a quick drawing to see how it went. I was a bit lukewarm to the result at first, but now I think it turned…
Quiet Fishing
I wanted to make this drawing/painting give a perspective from both over and under the water surface. To give an indication of what's going on beneath. And there is nothing much to see there, to be honest. It looks like it's going to be a very quiet day at the job for this fisherman. As…
Waiting for Water
There's just something about boats at land. The contradiction of it all. And how huge they actually look when their whole bow is showing. When they're mixed up with landly features, like power lines or grass, it's even more interesting. With spring coming up there are a lot of boats on the road. Heading towards…
A 5 minute fishing trip
Sometimes there are few time gaps through the day. I had 5 minutes to spare a few days ago. Usually I'll spend it checking my phone. Which I do too much these days. So I made the decision that I would use it a bit more productive this time. I wanted to make a quick…
A World on Fire
Although 2021 seems to become a better year than 2020, I still get the feeling that the world is on fire. Not just in the sense of global warming, but also in the social climate among us. The common ground is harder to find, and the fronts are getting steeper. Still we are walking around…
When I need to clean my head
When I need to not think, I do a pen drawing. When I need to feel no creative pressure (self-imposed, that is), I do a pen drawing. When I simultaneously need a clean mind, I draw nature. And when I want to feel crisp, fresh air, I move towards the mountains. This was one of…
Time Flies
It's easy to get overwhelmed when thinking about the big stuff. The history of our world, and the big, expanding universe. How our own lives seem so small and lost in it all. That made me think about all these pictures I've seen, of boats just lying around in dried out lakes. A reminder of…
