A merman does the dishes after a pleasant evening with some wine. He is looking straight at the viewer. On his upper body are nautical tattoos and his scaly tail keeps him balanced.
Mr Aquarius is a figure I like to draw. He originated when I made a series of human constellations, but soon took on a life of his own. He is a hipster with nice hair and a beard, but his toughness is also evident in his physique and extensive tattoos. I do have to draw all those tattoos on it every time. I myself am a swimmer and also like to swim in the sea. If I were to come across a mythical creature, it would be a lot of fun for me if it were a merman. The mood of the image is one of toughness mixed with domesticity. The technique I used is fineliner on paper. The whole thing has been post-processed in Photoshop. I think someone looking for a tough work with a twist would be very happy with this piece.
My work distinguishes itself by strong colours and clear shapes. I work with ecoline, ink and pencil, but I also like to cut and paste.
I get my inspiration from nature and like to daydream. Animals and people sometimes seem to melt together in these reveries.
Besides my children's book..
