Doll Sketches

Browsing through photoes at Flickr I found out Roshekie who makes these beautiful dolls... not pretty pretty at all but very soulful, each of them with a character of her own. I was immediately inspired and so I did the first sketch...I wanted to draw a girl who is not pretty, yet soulful. Well, the result is guite disturbing (am not sure whether she's a girl at all) but like her anyway.

I couldn't sleep so I started another one but this time I slipped to my pretty pretty style of drawing girls...however, she's quite timid pretty at least...so I like her as well.

Sticky and rusty unearthed and then gone...

Today I went for a pig...hmm, pardon, a pic hunt:) I caught clumps of blue berries on very red stems...
violet door...
and a piece of dustbin poetry...

under the woman's surface
i dig my nails in
to plaster slowly
climbing white fences
low walls
into strangers' gardens
for fruit
in laces
i'm tearing leaves
i love you

This is such a nice idea. Last semester I used to pass these poetry dustbins on my way to 'uni' and they made me smile. This is my thanks to the dustbin poet.

Come and have a look at my Flickr to see more berries and rust...

Autumn leaves...

Well, Autumnm has left a long time ago... so, I'm trying to catch up. Lately I've made two trips to "highlands" nearby the city I study in. One in the peak of Autumn and one in what seemed to be the peak of winter (20 cms of snow, snowstorm, 11 November!!!!). I have the pictures from these trips still in my mind as well as this thought...

Silent last two months...

Hello. The school began and again I find it hard to devote time to both, work and imagination. I guess I'm still creative but in different forms... chatting with roommates, writing response papers for my classes, preparing games or exercises for English lessons, or pondering ideas I can use for my diploma thesis. I welcome this variety that comes after summer, the mixture of activities as well as colouring of leaves on the trees. That's why I decided to keep up with AUTUMN and transform my scatchblog into a kind of all-art-inclusive blog to feel more free about my posting. I'll start today. This are three pairs of earings I made this weekend. What I like about them is the totallly different character...

For Earth Mother...

This is pure crystal, supposed to protect you... and my fleecy sweater:) ...very protective as well...

For a princess...


Hope you like these as much as I do:) If you want to see more photoes from the last weekend...earings, trees and and lots of green (I discovered I LOVE green!) visit my flickr site as well!!

Ha Ha

Well, haven't done much proper drawing these days. I'm nervous about exams, have too many visitors and I'm lazy too:) The peach for this weeks challenge fell pray to my midnight hunger. I found out that I don't feel quilty about drawing when I don't spend much time on it and the subject has to do something I'm supposed to be doing at the moment... German state exams. Welcome...

EDM #3 Draw a Handbag...

This is a bag I was given... on Thursday it will be exactly a year... for my birthday by my uni-friends. It has a beautiful patchwork look, it's a perfect size... not too big, not too small... and I DO REALLY like it, in comparism to its portait here. I still feel the urge to put some more layers of color but I'm learning that sometimes you need to let things go even when they are not perfect... like the chat I had this afternoon with one very cute boy and I kept... well, that's a different story... Damn!:)

Tried an animated movie...

I promise, I'll post a new picture soon. I'm so busy with schoolwork... hours spent in a computer room... This is just a filler but maybe you like it as well. It's a short animated movie I shot the last week in July with my brother in a workshop at a film festival together with some animation students (What a sentence!). Anyone was invited to give animation a try and it was fun! Here it is an it's called elephant-catcher.
