Design for handpainted wallpaper

Close-up walldesign. Pencil on paper, colored in Photoshop.
The interior stylist of the creative director of ID&T and his wife, asked me to make handpainted wallpaper for their new house in Amsterdam. They liked the wallpainting I made in Ludwig Zwei, so I chose to keep the sphere the same. But every new assignment is an opportunity to explore, and I had a lot of ideas.  Here are some close-ups.

Inspired by the poem 'The butterfly's ball and the grasshopper's feast I used insects and small animals for the design.

I love birdcages, I noticed that I draw/paint them a lot. I think it symbolizes the door to freedom. (Birds shouldn't be in there!)

 I'm going to use acrylics and oilpaint for this wallpaper.  It are 4 panels all together.

Here's a map for the room, so I'm able to see which part is the most important. It's also good to find out where the joints are to make them invisible.

  1. Ah, ik vind je organische vormen altijd boeiend. Ik denk dat ik de egeltjes en de vogeltjes het mooist vind. Echt mooi werk!
