Un jour, un dessin ...

.. that's what I am about to get close to. Next step would be to do an even harder thing for me: A scan per day ;-)

As I am still training on both of it, I have to share this wonderful watercolour-blog with you.

Rataouille

just a test to see if this really works out fine ... and by the way I like the teaser and the Japanese trailer which might be the "real" trailer, too?

And the Oscar goes to ...

... this wonderful German band I found: "Geschmeido". Just go there and click on some even free tracks to get into them and buy their new album at any personal retailer.

That picture, shown above reminds me of this years Oscar-winning movie "Das Leben der anderen" (Life of the Others) - though Geschmeido's b/w-photo has been taken a lot earlier.

Sketchcrawl # 12...andahalf

This time (Jan 28th, 2007) it's been an worldwide indoor crawl. Here is what I would see from some place in our apartment. To get the full background-story, please take a look here. And to get an overview on all the wonderful participants work - this time in one big post - peak around this corner.

STOP (IF: Red // Jan 26)

"Illustration Friday is a weekly illustration challenge. A topic is posted every Friday and then participants have all week to come up with their own interpretation. " it's saying on Illustration Friday. But the more popular this wonderful idea became, more and more nice illustrators leave illus done before the subject has been published and to top it: even promote these drawings for sale.

I am not jealous and there are some wonderful drawings on their way. But I'd like to have the spontaneous fun back, which lifted this forum - I am just a little bit tired of clicking through all the other posts not directly related to the idea of IF.

Rhett .. Red Butler

For all, who do not know: He is the male leading role in "Gone With The Wind"

... standing again!

Due to some "maladissimo" I have been laying around most of the last days. Celebrating my hopefully upcoming upright period I test-post this:
A sketch I finally glued on that king-size matchbox, which in fact beholds these clips - really neat to clip some notes or postcards and have them stand around you ;-)
Snow is falling right now - allways a good sign for me. Am I right, a.n.?

.. guided by his fellow friend.

Creepin' from underneath into ...

.. the huggly-muggly bed, in some seconds. Story will follow. Good night everyone!

Oooh, so this is how it feels ...

... when I start drawing and painting again. Time to go to bed and keep on monochrome colourworks. Will I be able to share and put up about one post per week as last year? Keep the fingers crossed.

Have yourself a merry litte dancing ...

... and a happy new year, everyone!

I drew this on New Years Morning while traditionally watching the Vienna Symphonic Orchestra with their concert broadcasted worldwide. This song played every single year actually during my drawing this year was "An der schönen blauen Donau" - "At the beautiful blue river Donau" and has been dedicated by this year's conductor Zubin Mehta to the new members No. 26 and No. 27 of the European Union: Bulgaria and Romania, which should be crossed by the river Donau.

Welcome!

Some chairs left ...

... to put on the desks and leave the room. Two and a half weeks left to be freed from the status of permanent assessment.

Sleepless Hippo

... what a night! Change of weather can be very inspiring. Had that same feeling some days ago and did this drawing afterwards. Hope the weather won't change on a daily basis the next weeks and steady up a little.

Up-Stares

due to all those deadlines not only this pastor is looking for solutions "upstairs"...

Inspired by Jason's I thought about mine, too ...

Mousehouse

I wonder what happened to the mouse in the wall, we discovered a couple of weeks ago, as she ran from behind the stove across the kitchen up to the sink, to fetch some rose-fertiliser ... maybe she grew to a giant mouse .... I think of a HULK-mouse after having eaten the fertiliser --- blasting the walls.

Won't chicken out!

What ever will happen within the next roundabout 8 weeks! I won't chicken out! Just keep cool - nothing's falling on my head .. not even a piece of heaven, you little chicken! You're not getting boiled you are getting tested and examined! No one really gets hurt --- at least not physically ...

One year of blogging

Well, who'd ever tought I'd do this still ;-) Seems it really took some time, to make fun. Enjoy! I do.
