Hello,

I've started a new blog on tumblr but I also will continue with this one.
My blog on tumblr is more kind of a lifestyle blog. Besides from illustration you will find there also photography and writing but I also show what inspires me and - every now and then - I will promote somebody's work.

Check it out if you want to learn more about it - I would be glad!

Have a nice Sunday.

Analysis

You may be asking yourself why I'm posting photos and not drawings. Well, during the summer holidays I finally started to draw and paint myself because it's the easiest way to be really honest in illustrating people. I'm working on a series of drawings where there is no face or just a little part of the face to see. In a few weeks you may recognize those two pictures in some drawings. I try to do my best to stay honest. 

Sketching for new header

Mira! Flores.

Yes, it's exceptionally me.

Another Sketch

Since my last post passed to much time. This doesn't mean that I wasn't working during this time. Actually I've been painting on canvas. As soon as I will be able to reproduce them I'll load some of them up.

In the meantime here another sketch. Check out troprouge on instagram - she's lovely.

This was my first try in drawing big pictures. They measure about 70 x 150 cm.

Milkshake

Forget Kelis and enjoy the weekend with a real milkshake!

Happy B-Day

When I moved in the middle of March to my new flat, my old room was empty. So my friend Steffi and me decided to use that room as a "photo studio" (well, kind of). We took that photo you see at the top of my blog entry. A couple of weeks later we had the chance to do intaglio prints at school and I decided to use that photo as kind of an inspiration.

You never told me to be myself. 

Smoking Lady

Since a friend of my broke his arm I got interested in the human skeleton. So I looked at some pictures in the internet and I even found a human skeleton at school. Here I tried to integrate it in a drawing.

Another Portrait

Not from here.

I've been spending a lot of time on this work. It is kind of a collage with tissue paper and aluminum foil.

We all have to make decisions

This week we had to do a "Aesthetic Biography" for school. What we had to do in the beginning of the week is to bring a photo from the past which is important for our development. When I was younger I used to fence. I brought a photo of a competition which shows 3 other girls an me each of us holding a medal. On the photo I was about seven years old. Fencing became later a big part of my life - specially when I got into the national team. Later, when it was about university, I had to decide which passion was bigger: the drawing or the fencing. I had enough from all the competitions. That was not the life I wanted. So I chose to go to an arts universitiy. I never regretted that decision. But after all, I still do fencing and it will always be a part of my life. 

Two Portraits

I caught a cold this weekend and stayed the most time drinking tea in bed. When I got better I really wanted to draw. As I stayed at my parent's I didn't have my tools with I usually use to draw. I found that old carbon-set I once got for Christmas and never really used. Actually I really got to like to draw with carbon-pencils and took the carbon-set to our flat in Zurich. Here the results. 

Working

A couple of years ago I got a carbon set. I never really drew something with that but why not try something new?

I'll post the drawing as soon as it's finished.

Have a nice evening.
