ORCHID STUDIES





We love old botanical prints and the whole aesthetic feeling of botanical visuals in the 19th century. These were done in the vein of studying that period of reproduction and drawing. Quite simple and clean and of course not as elaborative as the work that goes into the classic look of drawings that become etchings for bookprinting.

I formerly drew them to cut them out and arrange them separatly, but how they ended up on the paper kind of worked, so I let them be like that.

The family of Orchids has some of the most weird and beautiful plants around, they have become pretty much household names when it comes to bringing a delicate but endurable flower to your home. In the jungle they can grow to massive conglomerates of plants. The botanical garden in New York has one of the largest Orchids in the world we are told. This thing only blooms once a year, in many small sets of flowers hanging down from it's massive strings. We caught it as it was just loosing the petals when we went there last time.

What's the word? LETTERPLAYGROUND!


















We have joined the very fun LETTERPLAYGROUND site, it is based on the fabulous Mr. Nate Williams' love for handlettering. Nate is a force of handlettering in present Illustration. I'm sure you have seen his wonderful work in action, but just in case, ...you can find him HERE.

Letterplayground strikes me as a place where you can go crazy with letters like you always wanted to! On there -----> WE ARE HERE! It gives for some good kicks to just goof (in a positive way...) around with your ideas without the pressure of a certain sense behind the work itself but yet to have a challenging way of getting to a result. So we felt obliged to present the latest in potato lettering fashion!

Important PS: All potatoes where eaten of course!
