Prosthetics

Here's a link to a kind of NSFW illustration of the prosthetics, if you're interested.

Di Caprio

So yes. There goes my four years of art history education.

unpredictable

I'm still relatively new to Berlin (just hit the 2.5 year mark), but upon moving here, I unexpectedly reconnected with ex-classmates from my year on exchange in France, one of whom is L. We were both non-German art history majors with no prior ties to Berlin, and yet we both somehow ended up here around the same time to pursue different paths.

Conclusion: Life is unpredictable. and awesome!

Doodles

Phew. Just made it in time! Good night everyone!

Adorable Classmate

Pretty amazing how well-behaved he is!

Dramatic (Slimy) Things

Not typical Bonsai, but I enjoyed drawing these Lichtensteinesque mollusks and crustacean.

Nutella is fuel

Good times (in retrospect).

And this is proof.

Devancy

Actually, come to think of it, I have drawn one before.

Vermeer

A colour post after having ranted about colour in my last post. It's coloured pencil, so it doesn't really count.

So I went to my friend F's birthday-slash-Karneval party the other day. Karneval party implies costume party---so it's as close as the Germans get to Halloween (completely different concept, yes, but yay costumes!). I wanted something easy and cheap but also recognizable, so yes. This is what happened.

The theme of the party was actually "heroes from our childhood," so my costume didn't exactly go with the theme (unless I wanted to argue that Vermeer was my childhood hero, which probably would have made me one of those obnoxiously precocious kids), but thanks to the presence of many like-minded art nerds, I had fun being recognized (except I had to do the neck-twisty-pose every time)...until I started to lose track of how much wine I was drinking. It literally took me 24 hours to recover from my hangover the next day. Ugh.

I also think I lost one pearl earring at the party. Damn. I guess that made it even closer to the original, seeing as the only mention the single earring. Except I somehow doubt that Vermeer's model was a drunken mess. I just pray that I didn't do anything too stupid . . .

Anywho. Happy Sunday!

Surrealist poem

More art comic strips.

Basically, this is the recipe for a surrealist poem.

Fun.

Byzantine Art

I don't know anything about Byzantine art, so I asked AR what made her decide to do her Masters in Byzantine art.

She's just being modest, but she's still got a good point.

A-bomb

So here's an attempt at reviving my childhood dream of becoming a cartoonist. The Internet has made it easier for me to share silly drawings I've made in my free time, so yes. Here's hoping this blog lasts for more than 3 days.

So far everything I've been drawing have been based on my own life, ie. this conversation I had with AR the other day:

On that note, I should probably go check on that chocolate cake. Yes, Nozomi baking, that's a first!
