thao mai


january sketchcrawl in frankfurt, with thao mai. this was drawn in a japanese bakery called imori, where they serve sencha tea and melon bread. It was filled with asian tourists and bankers on their weekend stroll. I´ll probably spend the next sketchcrawl in Hamburg, looking forward to some harbour sketching.

london #2


i sat down on a bench and started drawing the tower bridge. after i while a group of students arrived, obviously on a a schooltrip, gathered around me, and their teacher told them about medieval london. All of that in german, while they obviously thought i couldn´t understand them. nice way to get some honest compliments and a free tour guide.


after getting back, i was stuck at the airport for some hours, waiting for the next bus. frankfurt hahn is a mighty unattractive place, so there was nothing to do, nothing to draw. Nothing except the gossip section in the "daily mail", here depicting "keira knightley´s mystery companion".

london #1

eva writes down what you can now read here, provided you understand german. while i sipped my coffee i once again tried my best to make her look older than she actually is.
and 15 minutes of sketching at the victoria & albert museum.
