'lil flyer i made for a show in my hometown's club Schieszhaus.

sketchbook

'sup?
I scanned some pages from my sketchbook(s) and I'm putting this now on the interweb.
I also started a 14-day-challenge - do one drawing OR take a photo a day (I wanted to start "small" - so, only 14 days and only one tiny sketch/snapshot would be enough, may not sound like much, but I've even had my troubles with that already - damn work/winter/classes/lazyness). So far I've been keeping up, wehuw! The results I'm going to post as soon as I'm done with the whole thing and the pictures are developed.

Some doodles (love that word) coming UP, mostly from our summer vacation - Berlin, Baltic Sea, Crete:

IB, the marsvin - Meerschweinstudie :D

During a Berlin-trip.

Pretty shitty, but I tried spying on people and drawing them without being caught - and that's one of my first attempts - has to be documented! That was during eating brunch at Viasko - a vegan restaurant in Berlin. Hands down the best brunch I've ever had.

Wanted to try my pens, hehe. The person is looking out of the windows, but you can't tell, because it's not finished. (but i doubt it ever will be finished...) On the right side there was supposed to be a bed/room interior.

Otis an der Ostsee.

My mum fell asleep while I was drawing her - best model, hehe.

3-minute sketch of my dad, he had to laugh so hard when I showed it to him. I think he was shocked. He wanted me to call the drawing: "Aufgebracht nach Telefonat mit Rentenversicherung".

I had to cut the other half of the drawing off, out of privacy reasons, haha! If you cn read German+my handwriting, you will know, why. To get the vibe, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ASY6WhI2dc

The beautiful cliff at the Red Beach in Matala/Crete...

Reference picture! :)

Well, it was a nudist beach! That's why there is an outline of my boob. And a self-portrait I drew from my reflection in Jeppe's sunglasses.

Those rocks were sick!!

 

A little goodbye-card I made a while ago for one of my colleagues that left the compnay to go and study medicine. "Held og lykke" means something like "good luck" :)

By the way, isn't that skull-eraser the coolest? You can attach it to the end of a pencil.

berlin again

For my birthday we visited Berlin for a weekend. I love that city.
Shortly after we spent another day/night on the way to a summer-vacation-roadtrip at Rob's place.
Here are some pictures from those days.

Magnificent Magnum

Menashe Kadishmans's installation "Schalechet" in the Jewish museum

Lots of plants. Lots. The other windows looked just the same. It must be pretty humid in that apartment (and dark).

C/O Berlin - bathroom self portrait

24!

Danish rooster - doesn't really fit in this post, was just on the same roll of film, hehe.

Jeppe on Rob's balcony.

mamiya c330

Ah, I was finally able to test my new baby - the Mamiya c330. What a beast of a camera...super heavy, pretty damaged and basically - it doesn't quite work right (really a lot is broken so I need to be super careful when taking pictures). I've always been stunned by photographs taken with that camera that I saw online.
My first attempt turned out alright  - the old Geissen light meter seems to work (I must look a little ridiculous fiddling with that amount of gear, hehe, should draw a comic about that), but I have to practise holding my hands still and focus a little more precisely. But it's getting there... I guess? Wish the processing of the 120 film wouldn't cost a fortune here. Seriously considering sending all the rolls to Germany to get it done.
Copenhagen is cold and rainy, and although I even managed to enjoyed the first days after coming back from a super hot vacation, it's already getting old again...
I finished Murakami's IQ84 and although I loved reading it, I'm extremely disappointed with the ending. Way too easy, way too many questions unanswered - it almost felt a little cheap. I hope for a fourth book to save the otherwise fantastic story. I have a lot of reading material for the winter already. But my free time always seems so packed with good things that I rarely feel I have the time to pick up a book! I also want to start working on my portfolio for serieskolan. It's quite some time to go until I want to apply, but as far as I know myself, I'm going to need it. I have a few ideas for illustration series... I think I will post some progress on this blog, although I'm a bit insecure about it, I try to get over that! And probably noone is reading or caring about that anyway at this point - besides me.
Music-wise I'm super uninspired these days. There's rarely something new coming along that blows my mind even remotely. Most of the times I can't even make it through a whole record because I get bored! The best show I've seen so far this year was in MAY (that was Danava! But Tera Melos(!), Papir, Cymbals Eat Guitars and Shabazz Palaces also deserve to be mentioned, those shows were also super rad)! Everthing else was mediocre at best. Especially when I had high expectations (esp. Extra Life, Omar Rodrigues Lopez Group) Lacking some inspiration here... at least the old shit never fails to amaze (listening to Pixies right now) but that makes me feel like a very old person. Or a very young one. I also couldn't relate to recent music when I was 12.
Lovin' the Babies-record though! And Chelsea Wolfe. And the new MF DOOM shit! JJ DOOM... But those seem to be the highlights of 2012 for me, oh my. At least there's some awesome shows coming up for fall/winter.

So, my first Mamiya shots, featuring my favourite model DJJ in PJs, a balcony with dead tomatoes, a bedroom with posters by Ida Applebroog, picked up at dOCUMENTA (13) and danish weather.

That record still makes me very happy!

Our Sarracenia ist now, after a summer on the balcony, much, much bigger! The screenprint is from Sanya Glisic, I love her work so much.

Some pictures from home.

Wow, I've been wanting to post those pictures for so long! Some black and white shots from spring this year, April/May, I'd say.
