Grotesque
The word ‘Grotesque’ has various meanings also because it has a long history. In ornamental designs it is used for those ornaments that are made of components that do not belong together, for instance when flowers and leafs are used in conjunction with animals -think an animal head coming from a flower.
The fluffy ornament design, or: the female tentacle monster 1
It started with a weird fruit and it ended with the female tentacle monster.

I was totally inspired by reddit’s /r/fifthworldgonewild sub [warning: NSFW] and started making more and more porno for aliens. It is liberating in more than one way: it broadens horizons of what is considered sexual and sexy, it promotes diversity to also include the aliens among us, and it humbles me because I have to admit that there is so much more that makes my juices flowing than I ever thought possible (as you see on this page: pears can be so …. yummy). I collect them on my tumblr and I hope to make many more of them.

New History (2004)
New History I is born from an attempt to recreate one of those huge tapestries depicting epical wars with monsters, and huge armies marching by, and the good king performing good deeds. All these tapestries have huge borders filled with ornaments. New History 1 was the first one, the one with the monster. It was supposed to be a series, but after a while I did not like number 2 anymore. Maybe I will continue working on it, maybe not, or maybe I will start a new series.
