NOOO

No, no, no, nooo –drawing I did late, late last night;)

FACE

…pouring down, I’m sketching.

WARMING UP

Today I’m warming up to do some illustrations, among others for the little Copenhagen Zine “A Little Less Conversation” – the next issue is published in March – looking forward to that! I just picked up a truckload of drawing paper (almost) courtesy of a local publisher I know. This drawing is from my sketch book… just a little doodle I did while thinking hungrily about all my new paper, pens and other art supplies.

LET THE KIDS BOOGIE

School mate from way back in the days, creative creature Martin, has a habit of doing really cool stuff, he displays it at his blog Let the Kids Boogie. Do stop by when you feel in the mood for a boogie with the wolves, the kids and other sombre figures.

FAMILIAR FACE

My first computer generated doodle. There’s a first for everything… but fortunately today I’ve stocked up on art supplies. Found this great art shop in Angel, so perfect, that my little designer heart skipped a beat or two.

PORTRAIT OF MY SISTER

I really miss my little sister. Here’s a portrait of her I did some years ago. She pretty, no?

MEDICINE, MIRACLES AND CHARMS

Sunday the sky was blue, the sun was shining and after a week with all the possible nuances of grey, I wanted to get out and about and find some color in the city. I found this gem of a museum called the Wellcome Collection. It’s a curious blend of history, art and science. The museum currently has 3 exhibitions on display: Medicine Man, Medicine Now and Miracles and Charms. Here are some pics. Felicity Powell’s artwork and time-lapse videos were especially intriguing. The Wellcome Collection is a free experience for the incurably curious, and I soo fall into that category!

NEW FACES

A peak into my sketch book.

STICKY

Timelapse video showing how 156 rolls of sticky tape are used to construct a one-day installation as a backdrop for the ceremony at the Design Museum. When I see this, it gets me thinking of the giant she-spider in Lord of the Rings. It looks like a hobbit trap to me, but it’s a facinating idea to explore the properties of sticky tape to this extent.

URBAN INTERVENTIONS

Street art and lovely forms of urban interventions – balloned containers, walking boots and a color rowdy road. Done by Spot – thisisthespot.

SKETCHY SUNDAY





Drawings and sketches I did before Christmas.

TURFIN’ IN THE RAIN

I’m quite speechless. I don’t have much to say to this except that I wish my body was made of linguini!

MAN AND NISSE

Roof garden

Double facade

Christmas is over, right, I know. But this goes so well with my ’2011 rock my snowglobe’ theme earlier on, so I’ll post it anyway. JAJA Architects asks “How does the Nisse (Scandinavian Elf) live amongst us today?”. I would really like to own one of these fun storytelling souvenirs. Jaja Architects have graduated from the same school as I, but I wonder, if we’ve taken in the same amount of Spray Mount during the years?

 

THIS MAN WAS SHOT 0,9502 SECONDS AGO

Finally went to see the Lynch art show ‘The Air Is On Fire’, it’s almost last chance since the show ends January 16th. I was slightly disappointed by the lack of long draped velvet curtains, creating the unsettling ‘red room’ atmosphere. However, the show was framed well by the odd and disharmonious music that emphasized the violent, morbid and disturbing themes. David Lynch has been very engaged in putting together and selecting the pieces showcased and it covers a period of production from his early teens to the present day. Definitely a good way to spend a hungovered sunday afternoon.

2011 ROCK MY SNOWGLOBE!

This is my first post in 2011. My blog almost suffered death by Christmas – time was swallowed up by my new job, Christmas shopping, massive amounts of snow that just made all forms of transportation take forever. Uh, and lots and lots of other really bad excuses. I really hate New Year’s resolutions, but if I had to make one – surprise, surprise – it would be to blog more (and better and more interesting). We’ll see.

I’m quite a snowglobe fan and the current weather situation in Denmark makes me relate entirely to the morbid, nightmarish miniature worlds inside the globes done by Walther Martin and Paloma Munoz.
