Introduction post!
My name is Lo, and I paint a lot of children's book friendly fantasy illustrations. Among other things.
And sometimes I take photos of mushrooms and garden projects (I'm also a landscaper), but never selfies. Don't look at me.
Here's a painting I made that I like.
Okay, bye!

I lost count on how many hours I've spent on inking. But it's many.
Not even halfway through.
My hand hurts.
I have regrets.

A little new year sketch from a cold and shaky bus.
However your year has been, I hope the next one is better.
Happy New Year!

I know the Internet is for cats, so I'd like to announce that these two idiots are doing fine.
They lost their mother at 6 weeks old, so I am their father now. I think I'm doing okay.
They don't know their names yet, but do respond to "cat boys".
The dog is offended by their presence..

The worst part about not going to the beach so often anymore, is that when I do, all the stones look cool and must be inspected.
What used to be a 40 minute walk has taken almost two hours. The dog is very tired. My pockets are very heavy.

Less than a month to go to my exhibition!
I realised I didn't have a proper artist bio to display, but I hate writing those, so I made this thing instead. It basically says that I'm very good at chopping wood, very bad at dancing, and I like rocks and mushrooms. That should be enough, right?

Wild strawberry season is almost over. These Nisse are hurrying to collect as many as possible before it's too late, and I should too!

For my Scandinavian pals:
Yes, the plural of Nisse in English is Nisse. I have decided that it makes sense.

Look at these mushrooms! Look how tiny and beautiful they are!
And also, someone tell me their name. I have no idea what they are.

I tried to look up some pictures and it appears that the search results on both Pinterest and Google are now mostly half-irrelevant AI bs...
Are there any alternative sources for image searching?

Welcome to the entire back wall of my studio, usually empty but currently home to a collection of things I've painted, sketched and sculpted since 2020.
The occasion being that I'm exhibiting this fall!
Still a bit nervous that I might not have enough original pieces to fill up the whole gallery 😬

Good morning #InverteFest. No moth trap today, so here's some bug art from my Insecta deck.
I illustrated each card in colour pencil, & drew each insect individually (no copy-pasting of bugs, even on the high number cards.)
You can get the last few decks, prints, etc at lycomorpha.etsy.com 🐞🐝🐜

Today I'd like to do a little brag about what's probably my favourite project I've ever done as a landscaper. Expanding this already superb patio in a matching style. A small and simple job, but definitely the most fun I've had with a paving design.
