S 8

reading FAZ newspaper on the train, on the way to see an exhibition of Elizabeth Peyton´s prints.
Soaking up some culture on a saturday.
I stuck an old adress label on the pages and drew over it, my copic marker had a strange, darkening effect on it.

nerds

Some more illustration for the june issue of stuz, one is even on the cover!  two portraits, each depicting a different take on the (overused) term nerd. hipster nerd vs. real nerd, surrounded by favourite nerdy items.

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".
