Running In The Rain

The Effect Of Positive Feedback On Your Work

Breaking My Headphones...

I cannot count how many pairs of headphones I have gone through in my lifetime, not even counting the pairs I have lost, stepped on....almost like sunglasses.

...and they keep going

and (so far) I am keeping on track working every day on my personal project. At least for a few minutes.

Waste Bin

Throwing old ideas into the wastebin...much better the analog way...

Sunshine Temptation

Officially a summer day today....but, being professional. I'll keep working away :)

This morning...

For no good reason: a cat.

I have been drawing lots of dogs at work  in last few months, so here is a cat for a change...

Thumbnail drawings

to

having some fun drawing the character of a personal project. A little hedgehog who cannot form into a spiky ball...the one thing he should be able to do....

Cowboys and Aliens

Matthew Luhn mentioned in one of his workshops that you should not mix to genres like a western and scifi to create a good story.  He used Cowboys & Aliens as an example. Still I really liked the film for many reasons.

For study purposes I recently thumbnailed out the opening sequence of the film. It is a great little piece of filmmaking.

Sketching

some recent sketchbookwork

some more animals. The Hannover Zoo has opened its new Canada section with a Yukon and British Colombia theme. What a coincidence.
There is, as in any Zoo I guess, a section with local farm animals, such as cows, goats, chicken ... I appreaciated the cows for the first time. We are living in one of the most remote and farm based areas of Germany, but you hardly ever get to see cows nowadays (partly because the dicount prices for milk forced many local cow farmers to declare bankruptcy during the past couple of years).

train sketching

I am spending a fair amount of time traveling in trains, subways and buses. One of the benefits of a being in a big city is people watching (its not quite as easy in a small town, but not for the lack of characters mind you) These sketches are some from the past few days.

Sketch

haven´t posted any sketches in a while. I made a habit of carrying my little sketchbook anywhere. Now that the weather is getting better its really fun to sit outside and sketch people again. I ´ll post somemore in the next few days.

More Doodles

...was taking the train this week and a good opportunity to draw people.
The days before I was working through the new Otto catalog for practice (unfortunately these girls were not on the train).

Doodles

I am usually doodling in the morning to loosen up and get ready for the day.
