Week 22

WILL IT EVER STOP RAINING?!!?!?!??
One good point -when it does incessantly precipitate, one has all the more reason to go to the movies. This week we took in the new Gatsby flick, which put more perspective into the book, I was not terribly disappointed, though the hip hop music was not really to my taste -except for Gotye's "Heart's a Mess" -a pleasant surprise during the end credits. The more I think about it, the more I like the movie. Epic was also, as its title suggests, quite a big movie. The artwork is stunning. For a kid's film, it also deals a lot with death, which I found refreshing in the genre, and makes the story just that little bit more believable. Not everyone has a Disney childhood.

Week 21

T'was an eventful week.
Plunging temperatures and rain even brought snow to some parts of Germany. It's nearly June! Someone remarked to me the other day that they suspect our orbit has been altered... If Summer (let alone Spring) ever turns up, I'll dismiss the theory, but until then... Anything's possible.

Week 20

Oops, forgot to post this last week ^^
I love to cook. Eat. Both. Whatever. We got out the barbie, played a round of zombie frisbee / meteor frisbee, and basically brought the entire kitchen to the Tempelhofer Feld to kick off the bbq season. Some sketches (no children were harmed in the making of this drawing, but it was close):

I also made it to another session of Dr. Sketchy and nabbed Daniela Uhlig's gorgeous book Sugar Girls:

A big Thank you the Dr. Sketchy team, Daniela Uhlig and the voters. My drawings from the afternoon are here:

It was a beautiful day, I also did some doodling beforehand -including a sketch of a kid who wandered over to see what I was doing. I hope I inspired him to a career in art. :}

Week 19

I watch too many movies.

:D

Frustration Friday

A sure way to unwind after work: draw stuff you can't draw for your regular customers!

Week 18

Spending way too much time watching movies and eating ice cream, but hey, it's spring! Finally kicked off the bbq season, and enjoyed some nice bikerides too. Like, without having to bundle up my ears. Or wear a coat. It was crazy!

Week 17

Spring is officially here; nightingales and lilacs, sun and summer tires for the car. I have a batman shirt now and progress on the kitchen counter continues, in a slow, wax on, wax off kind of way. Except the wax is varnish and the motion is with sandpaper. All coming along in a nice, shiny, dusty kind of way. There was cake. :]
