Some recent escapism

The Old Oak

Still busy adding lines. This small portion took 5h and I'm NOT a slow drawer lol. It‘s also the 4th layer of lines now, I think. Lines just do take ages, surprises me every single time again. Tbf I didn't expect to cover the whole plate with lines… Looks better though

New WIP! I love the idea of dedicating artworks to my fav trees, since I've studied their different morphology and habitats at uni for some years.

Some of my favourite etchings from 2020. I've learned so much since then but never regained the productivity I had during lockdown. Only 2 weeks for a finished etching with 7h of focused work every day, crazy

The first few prints have sailed to their new homes, thank you so so much for your support and I hope you'll enjoy seeing them on your wall :))

The etching is available in my store now!

I am giving away a unique proof print of my latest etching through a raffle on instagram! I only have this proof print left so can only do one social media platform… Good luck if you enter! www.instagram.com/p/DHbcD6bs8u...

Our bestseller last week was 'Incoming' by Kento Iida.

The Flying Dutchman - etching on zinc 54 x 80 cm Worked on and off on this for a whole year, feels surreal to just post it now. Hope you like it!!

Scanned the big etching and it's all ready to post, but now I'm really nervous about it hahaha The paranoia of it performing badly and getting no reach after all this work

Our best seller this week was 'Wonder' by Gerard DuBois.

Blacklight

Edition printing shall commence next week! Newsletter: http://inkenstabell.com Inking the plate takes at least 45 minutes and I need help turning the wheel due to the insane amount of pressure required for this plate. So it'll be a slow process, but I want to get the edition finished in one run.

Winterreise - Der Leiermann Etching on zinc #art

As many of us seem to be undergoing our own little Winterreise... 'Krähe, wunderliches Tier, Willst mich nicht verlassen? Meinst wohl bald als Beute hier Meinen Leib zu fassen?' ~ Wilhelm Müller Crow. Ink on Fabriano Medioevalis, 85 × 132 mm, 2022. 1/2

Winterreise - Wasserflut etching on zinc 40 x 30 cm

Selective Sanctuary • gouache & watercolor on paper For a group show at 301 Gallery in collaboration with Friends of the Columbia Gorge, who gave artists access to lands they steward to inspire their work for the show; in this case, a habitat site for the endangered western pond turtle.

Irrlicht - etching on zinc #art

Done!!

About to print. So nervous!!

Gm! Omw now to print the final state of the big etching. Gonna be a long day… Need to remember to take a lot of photos!

A personal favourite and another from my work for Katie Melua's 'In Winter' album, 2016. Illustration for Katie's version of Joni Mitchell's 'River.' Watercolour, ink & gouache, 305 mm square. Incidentally, Natee (นที) means 'river' or a body of water. #ArtAdventCalendar

Logging in to say the plate is done. I'm tired but relieved. Looked at the first digital sketch and the file is almost exactly a year old, 12. 12. 2023. Now it's done. Finished print and scan coming soon! Meanwhile you can sign up for my mailing list at inkenstabell.com Holy shit it's actually done

Yesterday's proof print! Nearly there, just a few more days of work.

Etched the hopefully last bit of lines yesterday, now it's test print and then burnishing time. At this point idc how long it takes, I just want to make it really really good. Super happy with how far I pushed it already!

OMG OMG OMG 😍 Cannot wait for this one!

10th anniversary Journey thread, recreated: I was the art director of thatgamecompany's Journey. It set the course of my career and my art. I'm forever thankful to the community of players and their incredible love for the game. This is a thread comparing early dev images and how things shipped.

Hello, my name is Kristina and I’m an artist focusing on historical aesthetics and techniques. I’m currently on a bit of a maternity hiatus so I will post mainly older work first, feel free to contact me with enquiries however.
