Windowcolor is a bitch! I remember now why I did not do more projects with that stuff. It takes a lot of time. You do the outline, you let it dry for some hours, you fill the spaces, you let it dry for some hours, you correct some details, you let it … Also the […]
When things get tough
Here’s a speach Neil Gaiman gave last May: Neil Gaiman Addresses the University of the Arts Class of 2012 There’s also a comic strip by Gavin Aung Than, who took a bit from the middle of the speach an made it into a comic. (Actually I read the comic first and until today had no […]
My balcony
When in spirng we moved into this flat which includes a BALCONY people – including me – asumed that by now said balcony would be some sort of impassable … jungle, looking something like this one.
Birds in Origami
During the last few month I’ve been sporadically folding origami figures. Beeing a bird person my motives were mostly of the feathery kind. Both, the paper I was using, and my folding skills were not very good, so I’ve often reached my limits halfway during the instructions in the books. Frustration: check! Also I’ve tried […]
The Yet To Be Named Bathroom Project
So I have this bathroom. It’s an ordinary bathroom, with a basin, toilet, bath tub and light blue tiles. I’m not much of a blue person, but they are OK. And they crave to be decorated.

Not good
I ran out of book before I ran out of week. I planed to aquire new reading material at the weekend but I finished my book (first in a trilogy) today. And now I have two workdays still to go … I tried reading some classical fantasy short stories by people like Lin Carter or […]
Captain Jack
After spending one day in the presence of a whole horde of chirping sparrow families I just had no chance but to invite one of them into my home. You will notice the cherry flowers on the bunch, which tells you that he lives here for some time now. I’m afraid I’m a bit behind […]
Prequel to ‚The Yet To Be Named Bathroom Project‘
Some of you may remember my my last, epic adventure with windowcolor? Back in bavaria, I decorated my bedroom window. Sounds boring … But I didn’t do the usual little stars and flowers , no I didn’t – I did art noveau, and I did the whole window! The pattern came from a art noveau […]
