Welcome at Puppy Eyes Studio

Hello!

I am Martine; illustrator, animator and doglover!

I have an irrepressible need to draw on everything and I want to tell stories with my illustrations.

I help people and their companies translate their visions into visuals.

• Aurora Borealis •
I have been fascinated by the Northern Lights for a long time. In photos it always looked so magical and overwhelming, I really wanted to see this in real life. After several failed attempts (once in Finland, later in Iceland), on my fourth trip to Iceland I was treated to several nights of fantastic Northern Lights. It was even more beautiful than I had hoped (it was also fking cold, but that didn't matter at all at the time, strangely enough)
•
Different cultures have myths and explanations surrounding the Northern Lights. One of my favorites is the story of the great magical fox called 'Tulikettu', from the Sami people. According to their story, this furiously fast fox ran through the snowy mountains and used its tail like a brush to make the northern lights appear in the sky. Incidentally, the Finnish word for northern lights is 'revontulet', which literally translates to fox’s fires.

This illustration was a remake of my Christmas card from last year. I made it again, but this time in a different size as an entry to a design contest of the @nordicmuseum in Seattle. It is made with (a looooot of layers of) watercolor.

Summernights: Magical summernights call for a cozy

Summernights: Magical summernights call for a cozy camper somewhere in the woods with a campfire and some friends. Create memories, share stories and enjoy the moment while it's there.

Although it’s not much fun going camping here in the Netherlands at the moment, it’s one of those rainy summers we have once in a while 🤷‍♀️

I am currently working on my new illustrated calendar for 2022 and this is one of the illustrations that will prooooobably end up on the calendar, somewhere in the summer months 😄. I hope you like it!
Oh, I know it’s a bit early, but you can already pre order next years calendar. Send me a DM for details!

Camouflage!
That was the theme of the riso club from 2 months ago. This was my take on it.

Happy International Icelandic Sheepdog day! July 1

Happy International Icelandic Sheepdog day! July 18th is Dagur Íslenska Fjárhundsins (I hope I wrote this correctly 😬), a day to celebrate this beloved breed. July 18th was also Mark Watsons birthday, he was an archeologist who saved this breed from going extinct.
As most of you know, I have 2 of these happy, goofy fluffballs in my home. Mika (the red one, male, 11yrs) and Ólöf (sable with white markings, female, 1yr).
They are a big inspiration for my illustrations and I couldn’t imagine a day without them <3

One of the joys of having a studio at @microlab.co

One of the joys of having a studio at @microlab.coworking is that I sometimes get to illustrate things for them, like this adventure map.
This map was designed with a old school gaming map in mind, and can be used as a map to explore all the great features of Microlab, such as the Playground, the Skybar and even some "hidden" gems like the tree with the swings, the workshops and the gym.

Mixed media animation: One of my goals of this yea

Mixed media animation: One of my goals of this year was to create a stop motion animation about a little snail called Toby. The year is now halfway and I still haven't started animating. I did do a lot of other stuff connected to this project (storyboard, artwork, etc), but after doing some test animations, I was not happy with the result.
•
To get started (and inspired) again, I took a Skillshare class from @kahoanimation a couple of weeks ago. It was quite refreshing to see how she did things and I learned a lot from it! I have a lot of new ideas in my head right now, but wanted to start with something small and easy, so this little animation was born. It only took me about 5hrs to create 😅 but I had tons of fun!

Childrens books 📚 Illustration books for child

Childrens books 📚
Illustration books for children was one of my dreams coming true. I was asked to make illustrations to go with the hearttouching stories about Hófi from @monikakarlsdottir a few years ago and so far we have created 4 books together.
•
I like a lot of things about Monika and her stories. For one, it has Icelandic Sheepdogs in it (yay!), but also because all her stories have a beautiful hidden message to the reader. It's not your avarage childrens book, it teaches you a valuable lesson about life.
•
In the future I hope to create a lot more books togehter, I think we're a good team <3
•
You can find the books here ---> www.hofi.is or send me a DM!
