CLOUDS FROM ANOTHER MONTH





Soapwort fills the warm summer wind. It is a bit like jasmine, a small slice of soap and melted sugar together, its scent. Even though the fields are full of big strawberries here, nothing wins tiny wild strawberries in forests, growing on the sunniest spots. Riding a ferry over a lake to the other side, nothing could have been calmer than that lake yesterday.

Illustrations about siblings and their feelings towards each other to Kaksplus magazine (7/2011). It must not be always easy to be in the middle and look to both sides the same time.

It is July, but the clouds look more and more like August. Also the wind in birch, alder and maple tree leaves sounds more like full summer, not like in the beginning anymore. Closing eyes and imagining how the creature with that sound could look like. Huge but kind. Very kind.

Thank you for coming here.

Greetings from forest paths.

    Lovely. It feels like high summer here, slow and lazy with cicadas singing all evening. I hope you're having a lovely month. Congrats on this feature and on Kinfolk too. Your work is always amazing, in every format.

    middle siblings generally seem to be so caring/loving/sensitive. maybe this is why.

    These illustrations are so beautiful and they remind me of my childhood. I was the youngest one in the family and always fighting to be recognised as a grown up by my older brothers :)

    Your illustrations are getting better and better - or rather they are continuing to surprise me. I love them all. Enjoy summer while it lasts. Carolina

    As a detail addict, I find the linework of the hair to be most pleasant to look at :) And can imagine how fun it is to draw them.

    Very good illustrations as always.
