| Copy and Paste ... Paint |

Copy and paint after the biggest masters to learn from them --- so did I, using one simple character of one of Gipi's covers (Appunti per una storia di guerra).

| nochmal || once again |

I sent a thank-you-card after a visit at an academy for graphic designers.

We've been told, that "Once again / Do it again / ... " ought to be the sentence / the word which the students as well as the graduated will be about to hear most , ... SURPRISE ;)

| Sketchcrawl # 20 |

| How to develop an idea |

So this is the way my brain "works"... better to be said: somehow flows, when in need of an idea for my niece's birthday card.

I have no clue, why I took the long way from my basic face, passing by a tower in the clouds, remembering a 18 year old picture of an lighthouse to say hello to a fish and then a birthday parcel as bait ... anyone in for a guess?

Rewards needed? A slightly coloured and signed print of this fishbowl ;)
