Started this two years ago in a #forest in Germany, while on a painting trip with friends. The first layer is #watercolor, later I've added ink and now some acrylics for the flowers. It's kinda nice to take it slow with artworks, the fresh eye helps a lot. It's now in my webshop.

Erm..wow, just watched 'Den Stygge Stesøsteren' (The Ugly Stepsister) - 2025 😮

Scandinavia's answer to the 'The Substance'. Similar theme of unattainable beauty standards with super gruesome body horror. A dark fairy tale/fresh take on the Cinderella story. Very good, but very full on and not for the squeamish. One you will need to recover from.

A man grew tired of all the foolishness around him and went hiking in the woods. He found a big oak tree knocked over by a storm, and its roots torn from the earth revealed an opening that appeared to be the entrance to a cave. Faint music was coming from within and there seemed to be small lights in the darkness. So he lit his lantern and crawled inside.

There, he found a group of gnomes who welcomed him warmly and invited him to eat and drink with them, as long as he had some songs for them. So he began singing and drinking for three days, until he passed out from the strong beer the gnomes had given him.

The next morning, he woke up in front of the cave. He had a terrible hangover and stumbled back home. But there, he discovered that – while he had been carousing with the gnomes – three hundred years had passed in the world above. Yet he realised that people hadn’t become any wiser than they had been before.

He shrugged and turned back toward the woods. As he walked, he began humming a new melody and some rhymes came to his mind. Hopefully, they would be enough for a few more centuries.
