Thank you! Larger pieces are definitely in the cards

Painting small is a ton of fun for me 😁

It seems like ages ago that I got this tiny little sketch book as part of an art trade. And I’m finally getting around to starting it now.

The thing that I’ve been debating is (considering the rest of the stories will have multiple) whether to share the images as I complete them, or share each set as I complete a story. We’ll see, nothing’s set in stone.

Now that I’ve got that identity mostly settled, I can apply it to the rest of the pieces going forward. Speaking of which, I’m hoping to have the next story done by the end of this week.

Struwwelpeter, the final piece and some of the sketches from along the way. One of the fun things about doing a project outside of my usual wheelhouse is finding the visual language for it. I went through a few iterations before settling on what I ended up with.

Thank you! Honestly, I’m just bad at advertising myself 😂 You’re right, though, I should really do that.

(3/3)But, the dark humor and fun, sometimes grisly, illustrations had a big impact on me during my formative years.

I've always thought of doing my own take on the book. And now, I've decided to take it on! Starting, obviously, with the cover and title story, Struwwelpeter.

(2/3)That book was Der Struwwelpeter, written and illustrated by Heinrich Hoffman in 1845. I'm not sure how many of those lessons I really learned; I still ended up playing with matches, hated combing my hair, and never really cared for soup.

(1/3) When I was but a tiny Gary, my mother would read to me from an old German book. As is the norm with antiquated German children's stories, it was filled with tales of (mostly) misbehaving children suffering as a result of their misdeeds.

A bit of practice and I’m sure you could get there 😁

Thank you!

I really appreciate that, thank you!
