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.

Happy international Icelandic sheepdog day!

We celebrate this day on the birthday of Mark Watson, who played a great part in saving the breed from going extinct in the 20th century.
In Iceland, it was celebrated with a presentation of this friendly and colourful breed at the Árbær Open Air Museum in Reykjavík. Here at home we celebrate this special day with extra cuddles ☺️

This illustration is from one of the Hófí-books (by @monikakarlsdottir ), where Hófí meets horses for the first time.

The other pictures are my two Icelandic sheepdogs; Mika & Ólöf

I find inspiration in the weirdest places. Last summer I went to visit @naturalismuseum with one of my minions and I loved the lightning and atmosphere at the dino skeletons (swipe for the picture). Was also impressed by the skeletons itself ofcourse! Quite spectacular to stand in front of something that ancient! And BIG!

While looking at the pictures, I realized there was only one thing that could make it better: add an Icelandic sheepdog to the scene! 🙈

Birthday birds #3: Common Black Bird, for my dad.
When I asked him why he likes black birds, he told me he especially likes the way they sing their song. So obviously I had to incorporate this into the illustration. ☺️

Birthday Birds #2 : Red Robin
After the seagull illustration I made for a birthday colleague, I thought it would be a fun idea to make it a tradition for the next year or so.

When it's someone of my friends or family's birthday, I'm going to make the person's favorite bird, in duplicate. One of the birds will hang in my studio, the other will function as a birthday card.
So if you see me as your friend and like to receive a custom made card, better let me know what your favorite bird is 😜

The Robin was for my grandmother, who celebrated her 90th birthday last week! I’m not entirely sure if this is her favorite bird, but I know it was my grandfather’s favorite. Although he passed away about 18 years ago, I still think about him when I see a Robin 💕

3 things I love about Iceland: the dogs, the horses and the lupine fields!
Two of them I have at home (lupines in my garden and two Icelandic sheepdogs currently at my feet), I’m hoping one day to add an Icelandic horse to the collection as well 😊

I have this one colour pink gouache paint in my stash that I absolutely adore. It’s called Holbein Opera G584 and was my first tube of Holbein gouache. Somehow I try to add this color to each gouache painting I make 😊
Although I might get a headache if I stare to it too long 🙈

This flamingo is the next one in my birds series. I saw a lot of them on my trip to Bonaire last year.

Have you ever heard of Land Art? For my teaching degree (in arts) I had to look up something about this art movement, which is all about art, nature and landscapes. I was particularly fond of Sun Tunnels, and art installation in Utah, made by Nancy Holt.

She put 4 concrete tunnels in the Great Basin Desert. At first they might look like ordinary tunnels (quite big by the way! You can easily stand up inside of them), but they are aligned with the sunrise and sunset of the summer and winter solstice. With these tunnels, she made a beautiful frame for this desolated landscape.

The more I read about this artwork, the more I want to see it in real life! It inspired me to make this illustration, it seems like a nice spot to hang out and watch the sunset with your furry friend!

There are a lot of ladybugs currently visiting my garden! I think that’s a good sign, right?
They also make cute characters 😊

Puppy eyes studio is almost a synonym for cute illustrations. In most of my illustrations, there is a cute character (sometimes with friends) and joyful colors.

But for time to time I like to step away from the cuteness and dive into a darker, rawer style.

This riso print is an example of an experiment for @thehinnom , one of the bands I’m a part of. We are currently preparing for recordings and meanwhile making plans for videos and animations to go with our songs.

One of our songs is ‘warwhores’, which sounds a bit like ‘warhorse’. The horse will play a big part in the animation that goes with the song, where a world is falling apart. I hope to show you more of it in the near future!
