I met this tiny guy at Assistens Cemetery in Copenhagen last weekend, and it inspired me to start doodling squirrels.

Björk, Björk.
Elephant in the room
First the giraffes, now the elephants. For a small Scandinavian country we get quite a lot of bad press about exotic animals…
Koalafications
Playing with image editing today resulted in these 3 versions of a koala doodle I made a couple of weeks ago. I’ve never seen a koala in “person”, but I had a sudden urge to draw some weirder animals to mix things up since I mainly draw birds, cats and dogs. My first try at doodling a koala was ridiculous, so I actually had to google what it looked like to get something recognizable. Yay Google!
Note: After posting these 3 images together I’m realising it looks kind of like a sequence. Koala just hangs there on his tree all through summer, day and night, his fur turning white in the winter season (the very rare snow koala!). Maybe he climbed up too high and is scared to crawl down, like Tigger in A. A. Milne’s stories about Winnie the Pooh.
Forbidden eggplants
“I just found out I’m banned from Instagram for being too sexy, and I’m trying to live up to the hype!”
“Maybe just be normal about it.”
Punberry
Chicks
More veggies. This one kind of just drew itself. In my mind the chickpeas are going: “Ugh, not that joke again. Please get some new material.”
The strip works without the mother pea, but I though it was funny to think of the peas as quite young, confident creatures. They’re out on a walk with their mom and still shamelessly hitting on girls, using these horrifying pick-up lines.
Posh Squash
There’s food on my mind this week! Instead of people and animals, there are now veggies and other food stuffs with eyes and legs crawling all over my notebooks.
I’ve started working as a communications intern at my previous “højskole” (folk high school), Suhrs, in the centre of Copenhagen. At the school, food is the central topic and it’s about much more than filling your stomach. It’s about smelling and chopping, and about combining textures and colours to create dishes that look and taste great. And about using local and organic products when they are in season.
As you might have guessed, I’m a big fan.
Okay, so that explains the vegetable theme. The bad humour and useless rhymes have no explanation, they’re just about me being ridiculous. Posh Squash came out of nowhere, but I think he might become a regular on the site.
Dogs
I collected some of my dog doodles today to say Happy 12th Birthday to my parents’ old, awesome dog. I hope he appreciates it with as much enthusiasm as when he got a birthday flag earlier:
Mom day
Happy non-Brit Mother’s Day!
