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.

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.

I mean hands, not palms!

Reiin @reiinart.bsky.social · Mar 2

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

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)

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.

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^)

*feeling excited

Reiin @reiinart.bsky.social · Feb 9

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…
