XMAS 4

As promised, another Xmas design as it is that season, right? 

I might just change this into a general snowy pinup as her expression is probably not festive enough but you see her here as it started out. Frosty's expression is well within holiday parameters though. :)

Mind you, i...

Golden Brown

I sometimes just see an image in my mind that I want to try out. For no reason at all it's usually a beautiful woman in hardly any outfit. Go figure. I don't understand it myself. 

Well, I do honestly. There's nothing even remotely boring about them, ever. Every slightest change in pos...

Other Books

Sure, some more Xmas designs are on the way but it's hardly the only thing of interest of course. Look at all those books. :)

Just something that came to mind when I looked back at the other book filled paintings I did. One painting rarely comes alone. It usually creates images in my mind t...

Xmas 3

 Are you getting that Xmas spirit already? I hope you're not fed up with Xmas pinups yet. There may be more in the future.

When I was in this Patreon interface to post this safe picture I luckily caught in time that it wasn't finished at all, yet. I thought it was and I saved the diffe...

Future

I see good fortune in your future but do come in :)

I've done more than one Gypsy and a couple are on Album covers for a melodious rockband called Hardland (friends of mine I might add). I like the theme even though it's likely not as mysterious, magical, free or rebellious as it might seem...

Xmas 2

Are you in Holiday mood yet? I know it's early but I started thinking about the imagery in september already and if I don't start to post the things I came up with, I'll probably wind up with some having to wait until next year. Like this one did. The idea has been in my ToDo folder since about t...

Banner picture

Well, as soon as I posted the Couch Beauty images, this came to mind (that's often how it works with me) and I painted it when it was still hot. However, as it turns out it doesn't fit the Patreon page header. Believe me, first thing I tried. The space is not high enough so all the bits indicatin...

Couch Beauty

Every once in a while I have to make a new banner for some social media, like Facebook and Mewe (the latter turns out to be a bit of a dud really. I'm posting for only 4 people after almost a year) , with panorama coverphoto formats. That means that I either make pinups that lay down or do crops ...

Xmas 1

Since 1990 or so I had my own Xmas/New Year pinup printed and I sent them to my friends and family by snailmail every single year. I actually liked the tradition I created for myself, even though it was always pretty hard to get a good enough design in time for the holidays. It took not only mone...

Shower

You can't censor beauty coming out of the shower with a bikini, a nightgown or something.
That's just weird. This is too, really, but it's also a bit funny so I don't mind as much.
Censoring my work is not a chore honestly. I think it's silly that modern society regards nudity as harmful, ...

Little Birds

Nature, that place so interesting and gorgeous. Much to watch and admire, especially in this neck of the woods I like to paint. :)
I posted a poll soon after launching the Patreon page to see what Patrons would like to see here and Beauty in Nature turned out to be quite popular. So, here's be...

The Paintress

What can I say? I like the theme as such of painters at work. Even more so if the painter is as pretty as this one. Art coming to life or, as in this case, a weird perspective of the paintress painting herself while painting herself. I'm not sure if that is appreciated, or even noticed by everyon...

Resting Beauties

I thought I'd try some resting b•tch faces as that is fairly common on various social media, but I think I failed. They probably still look too intriguing. It's hard to get them to look distant, uninterested, uninvolved and arrogant. I tried. I really did. My failure is probably the reason why ...

Rise

Well, with the weather we're having at the moment I'm thinking of getting me a snorkel myself just to walk the dog, but this is more a reminder of better, dryer and warmer times. 

Crouching

And now for some latex. Although I like it when my work is more than just curves and beauty I also like to paint simpler things just to try out poses, expressions, lighting or texture. Or all of the above. This is one of those. Actually quite happy with how it turned out.  

Picking

As a bonus for my Patrons; Another neighbour always, and I do mean always, 'forgets' to close the drapes when dressing in the morning (or any other time of day for that matter, and I could not help but paint her, because that's what an artist like me likes to be painting the most. :D

This c...

Garden Visions

Another sketch, posted earlier for higher Tiers, is finished. However, it changed because it turned out too tame. She was not as dynamic as I liked and originally the idea was a bit different too. But now I like it. 

Caption should probably be: She does know her neighbour, who is conve...

Fan

I posted the sketch a while ago for higher Tiers and as you may understand, it took a while to actually get it right. Many difficulties on the road to completion. Now I like it, so, it's time to post :D I hope you like it too :D  

Good Book

Good evening. Lets start the week well with a good book and some wine and see where it takes us. If it's still morning, like it actually is right here, start with the book, get some coffee or tea and go from there. It might be a little early to crack open that bottle already.

Anyway, I did ...

Match

I posted this a couple of years ago, found it again recently and decided to adapt it to instagram format. Because it was a portrait format the feet got cropped off on Instagram when I first posted it ( That profile got deleted and I still don't know why, by the way. But it does allow me to repost...

Museum Night

The sketch has been available for higher Tiers for a while now but it took some time to actually paint it. Quite a challenge and I may have started it wrong. But it turned out well anyway. The whole censoring doesn't do it for me but it's mandatory all over the place. Even on Tumblr nowadays (I t...

Stickers

Once upon a time, long, long ago, cars were full of stickers and people just weren’t.  
That has changed to the opposite completely since some time in the nineties though. Why, we do not know. 

As an artist I am not a fan of tattoos. What I try to do is difficult enough witho...

Bedroom Games

A bit of a Bettie Page vibe, because of the hairdo, but Bettie Page is an icon to this day, so, I don't mind at all. I'm not sure if the uncensored version will be appreciated here though. With the main subject it's not that much different but there's more in the front with whip marks at that. I ...

Boudoir Blonde

Why are Blondes so hard to paint? Because the hair has all kinds of shades and if you don't do that it looks off quickly. There's green and yellow and reflections of surrounding shades and colors and if you just would use yellow, light brown or white it looks cartoony fast. Which is rarely what I...

Red Wings

She did get the costume in time for Halloween and I managed to paint it too. She forgot the halo but I really don't like holy much. I like wild and free much better. It doesn't take away from her angelic appearance. You should see the Patron Only version :D 

Witchin'

I thought I was done with the witches for this year but I did this one well before the previous post. However, I didn't finish it and there were a few things I didn't like. I finally got around fixing them and here she is. I bet it's the last witch of this Halloween season, even though I'm not a ...

Blood Moon

Honestly, I'm not sure if I'll be able to top this next year, because I think it's the best broom riding witch I did so far. I'm going to try of course but everything works with this one. Colors, shapes, mood and lighting. Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, Halloween is in the air and this red head...

Witch and Broom

Before you can fly the broom, you would have to activate the powers within. Otherwise it would just be a tool to sweep the floor. You all know that of course. Just saying, in case it slipped your mind. Safety first! :)

Red Riding Hood 2

Can you tell I like this theme a lot? :) It's so classic Beauty and the Beast. At least in the all grown up version. Totally my thing. I thought of making a cartoon first but I liked it without the text balloons, so I just added the cartoon as an extra and kept the first version as well. Perks of...

Oktoberfest

Actually inspired by someone I met online from Pennsylvania, who "really would love to be a model for you" but found out she didn't have the courage when it became real. And you'll need some to be a model. :)
I probably would have an extra year to paint if I would add up all the time I've spen...
