update

Just a quick update: Quiditty is in the shop now.

P.S. Cross your fingers with me for Germany tonight ;)

quiditty

Better late than never..

..soon in the HelpTheGulfCoast shop (I'll give you the link,
once they list it it's up now :)).

Another way to take an action, if you want to do something
about the oil spill is either to donate or buy an illustration
at ripple.

t.t.t.

Two things today (haven't done it for a while :)):

My waxplant aka Hoya Bella is blooming - so pretty!


Sometimes I intentionally don't throw away things
immediatelly, sometimes I'm simply forgetful.
I love watching flowers withering and (except for the
paper fluff in my laundry..) I love the look of the tag
after I forgot to cut it up before the wash. It reminds
me of Rob Ryan's work, which I really adore (nothing
in compare to his work, of course! Just kind of an
abstract one ;)).

in my head

I'm not really creative the past months. In my head
there are lots of things waiting to get out. Two of them
are bugging me along my way to work yesterday -
painting portraits and a song.



I used to draw a lot of portraits. I'm out of practice.
I got some problems with the proportions and distance.
The noses look weird and even the eyes - which I always
loved to draw - don't seem right (so I don't dare to draw
ears - they were my weakness!). The pose of the girl on
the right pic was inspired by a passanger, who was
watching our window display.

Can you guess what it is on the bottom pic?

It is the Indonesian music notation. A quick way to
write down a melody since I don't have to care either
it's in C-dur or F-dur or whatever. I long to compose
a song for an ensemble, but I never manage to do it.
Sometimes I have a melody in my head, but it's gone
before I find the first note on the keyboard. Yesterday
I decided to write it down that way - at least I could
capture the base melody and some other parts.

We'll see, either it'll be a Midnight Blues - the one in
glass is already in my shop ;)

fresh week

A few pics from the past two weeks.


Something to celebrate.


What could happen when your mind is wandering
elsewhere while you're riding a bike or cooking.


Enjoying one of the last peonies from the garden.

I'm wishing you a wonderful fresh week!
