All Illustration Portrait Black And White Pattern Rough

I like to experiment. It shows in the choice of subjects, styles, techniques, colours and media. I do digital and mixed media, black and white plus colourful, and anything from illustrative to abstract art. Often I combine it all and come up with something new and unexpected. I enjoy drawing animals, human and other kinds. Nature and space fascinate me.

A photo of an open sketchbook spread with a drawing of a whimsical lamp fish with a lightbulb in the place of the usual “lamp” mouth open holding a book with “THE CAPITAL” and a dollar sign on the cover. On te first page, in the direction the fish is swimming, there’s a bit of metallic golden watercolour and on the second page dark blue and black watercolour by Mervi Eskelinen.
