Time to wake this blog up.
I am doing #inktober (drawing an ink drawing every day of October) again and before posting the new drawings, there are some from the last year.
Ok, this is a bit cheating, a card for a friend, I counted it as Inktober work 🙂
Killer whale is missing it’s teeth it this scan 😀
Done in Finders Keepers market, I think. Today I am going to that market again, will probably draw something as well.
Neighbour’s balcony.
Acrylics on wooden board.
This was printed as a “Nieko Rimto” postcard in Lithuania.
A very old illustration for Symphonic orchestra, brochure about concerts for children.
Catnip man.
T-shirt design for South Australian parks. Cleland park.
Sketch and the result. Fairtrade flip flops for Etiko.
Birds islands.
Lama painting. 
And a custom version with vegan animals.
When I was little we had a set of traditional Russian nesting dolls – matryoshkas. It was something magic – a doll inside another, and then you open it and there is even smaller inside.
And now I got some blank ones. As I am working on some new ones, I post the older ones.
I got obsessed with sorting things. This post is about crowds of animals which during the years became almost my trademark or how they call it.

For rabbits calendar.
This design was printed as an Avant Card.
Bikini babes sketch for a t-shirt which I never finished…
2011
This is a page from a comic story.
Dragon calendar.
2012
Now, looking back I notice, how the lines got clearer/cleaner. If I wanted to colour something with computer, it is always easy to do so with sharp lines. Obsessed with patterns.
2013
It was a banner on FB I think.
I love line art, but it was time when I rediscovered the watercolour.
2014
Cat drawing was very succesfull and I kept getting requests for a dog version.
2015
A very recent version. I probably finished it in the late 2014, though.
I like sorting things and putting them into collections. Recently I’ve noticed that I have a bunch of drawings with (mostly) animals riding bikes.
Australian animals on a bike from a sketchbook.
Fox, rabbit, lemur, crested tern and some long legged dog. I used this one to make a print. I can’t remember the name of technique, but it involves getting some photosensitive plate, maybe called solar plate, transferring the image by just leaving it in the sun, washing and printing.
Since it was first time I did with this technique, the result isn’t perfect. But you get an idea.
So I got more drawings of few animals sharing one bike. Postcard for www.favoritepostcard.com
Another sketch, I know I started the illustration with coloured pencils to test the new paper, but can’t find it anywhere.
Then there are different types of bikes. The funny named bicycle – Penny-farthing from 1800’s
Even made a stencil and printed on a bag.
This fox has been everyone’s favourite.
A tandem bike. Experiment with gold foil and the envelopes I use for my cards.
I’ve seen some guys cycling with surfboard on their bikes. Actually we even saw one with windsurfing gear on a bike!
This is one of drawings who were made into stickers on the Mazda car (I’ll post pics in next post).
Mountain bike.
Cruiser bike.
Bicycle – street food stand in Thailand.
BMX
And with a baby trolley.
About riding bikes together. Sketch and the actual drawing. I can’t remember what was it for.
Postcard for Nieko Rimto.
This is how the card looks before folding it. Riding bike to get some groceries.
And another one.
Circus.
Exercising bicycle.
Couple of variations – scooter.
Or another scooter, I am confused with the name – both things are called the same.
Another sketch. A rare one – with people.
And of course – a selfie, umm, I mean self portrait 🙂
