Calm June afternoon at Cinq Neuf cafe in Kyoto.
I started a new sketchbook with this drawing there. During my June Japan I finished three small sketchbooks plus drew on odd pages here and there. It was such an inspiring journey, I can’t wait to come back.

Thanks! 🙏

Continuing the raven thread, here are some corvid tattoos I’ve done recently. All but one are freehand.

My ｓｐｉｒｉｔ in Saint Petersburg

I’m visiting my family and on my way to Moscow, via Riga, via Pskov, I am now in St Petersburg together with my sister.

With an unsteady connection, I’m posting some pictures of my spirit Caspar in this beautiful city. It’s been too long.

Finished painting the cover of my new sketchbook that I’ll be taking with me to the three weeks trip back home.

I mean hands, not palms!

I paired this freehand ｃａｔ mask to another mask tattoo I did a couple of years back. Thank you for always coming back to me, E!

Would you get your palms tattooed? If not, why? If yes, I’m curious how it corresponds with your lifestyle.

Bat ｐｏｒｔｒａｉｔ No.1

Don’t you love how the shadows from my venetian blinds fall onto this tiny canvas? Hamburg gifted us some sun, that created this beautiful effect.

More bat portraits are in the making.
Oil, canvas on board, 18x13cm

Work in progress on this bat portrait painting.

Hang in there!

Here’s to the beginning of my first bat painting intended for fun and enjoyment. It’s based on Ghost bat species (if I’m not mistaken)

#sketch #bat #griphitedrawing #artwork #wip

On Monday I went to get coloured oils to start with my paintings that are intended for fun and enjoyment.
Here I am on Thursday finally trying them out.

Four of them are (probably) for bat portraits and, if you look closely, you can see a sketch of what is going on the small one.

Shoppe Original art, art prints and unique items from Reiin

I reopened my online shop!

It was in hibernation until yesterday and now I’m selling out my older prints to free up space for the new work.

Pay it a visit and see if there’s anything you like. And help me out with my spring clean (＾ｰ^)

#artforsale #artprint #artshop

Thank you!! Really can’t wait to start the painting

*feeling excited

The thought of making a series of paintings just for fun and for practice, and make practice fun, left me feel looking excited and impatient to get to it asap.

I’m working hard on reopening my online shop tomorrow and then I’ll get to painting as a treat, and not just work. #artwork #bat #sketch

Venturing into oil painting using only two colours for now: lamp black and titanium buff.

I tend to overthink almost every idea before the work even began, and it end nowhere.
Now, the focus is on doing over (over) thinking.
As my mentor told me, I have to put more hours into the work.
So…

A small collection of freehand bat tattoos I did.

They’re just as important to me as my spirits and ravens.
I accept bookings in Hamburg for February, March and some dates in April.

A picture of the sketchbook with a coloured pencil drawings of a ghost in a kitsune (fox) mask looking at the moon. Next to the sketchbook are a few pencils. Behind the sketchbook is a cropped video with subtitles.

I like drawing ghosts and spirits.

Can’t wait to go there again next time I’m in Kyoto.

From my Japan Sketchbook, November 2024 #art #sketch #japan #sketchbook #izakaya #spirits #doodles #pencilart #vibes

…some peace and quiet. I saw a place with a sign “This is NOT a ramen shop” and looked inside. Small izakaya with only a couple of people at the bar. Perfect. Although to sit inside, you gotta order something to eat too. Great.
It was all really great.
The drinks, the food, the atmosphere.

#Kyoto city, early evening.
After a day of walking the two of us were looking for a place to take a rest and have a beer. I usually don’t drink beer but Japanese beer is a completely different story for me.
Kyoto city centre, with all the crowds on the main streets, left us wanting…
