The Realm of Sasafras
Here you can see an overview of the illustrations I have created over the past few years. In a time when some people struggle to distinguish between AI-generated images and original work, I would like to emphasise that all the illustrations on my website were made entirely by me. I do not use any AI programmes; instead, I work traditionally, and with digital tools such as Nomad Sculpt and Procreate. The photos I incorporate into my mushroom illustrations are also taken by me personally.

Overview of my illustrations
Every portfolio starts with learning, trying and beginning again…
The overview you see here is just a small selection of the illustrations and paintings I’ve created over the past decades. These are also the pieces I feel are strong enough to share. There are so many drawings that didn’t turn out the way I hoped — pieces where you can clearly see me struggling to get my ideas onto paper or canvas.
And even now, after all these years of drawing, experimenting, and starting over, I still don’t always manage to capture exactly what I see in my head. But practice truly does make progress. Where five years ago it took a great deal of effort to make, say, an animal look natural, that process now comes much more easily to me.
What I want to say is this: if you draw, practise, and stumble along the way, remember that even the most experienced artists and illustrators once had to start somewhere…
