yeah, i'm still here

Good morning fellows
last entry in april, has it really been that long?? sheesh!
what's been happening since?
I've dabbled a little in logo and t shirt design. rather boring stuff just editing other peoples work... but tis fun nevertheless...
started a king size oilpainting 160x100cm
last week putt it on the ground and poured a litre of white paint over it... finally realizing i'll never get it done.
started anew. with a flower macro on that canvass... i wonder if that's going to happen
other than that...
finally got new glasses in june. world slipped back into focus. headaches disappeared (for a bit)
but the eyetrouble continues... that's why i sorta limited my painting and drawing time...
the last 2 weeks i worked on the big chuckles thingie fav.me/d30455h when you look closely you see all my noseprints on the paper
after this is finished i'll have a little time off from drawing with pencil. i'll do some acrillicy thingies next, but nothing artistical just decorational works for the shop.... rather tedious, boring work but i have to show my customers how to do...

turned 31 in august and again found myself on the receiving end of some weird surprises... surrounded by friends in my neighbours garden... biggest gift was a trip to england next year with some friends *yay for my friends*
funniest gift was a friend serenaded me with her bagpipe... tis official now, my neighbours hate me another friend played me something on the piano... and yet another friend gave me her new CD... musicians are just more fun to be with at a party lol
btw picked up piano playing again... note to self, get piano tuned.. or better get a new one...

the shop is doing allright and it's rather fun to draw and paint there customers like seeing me in dirty clothes in front of an easle. i even did a few workshops but after a while i tend to behave like a mixture of bob ross and louis de funes...
the summer workshops were a blast, we went 20 meters up the road, sat on a terrace at the market place, drank beer and did water colours in the evening sun. felt rather artistic

other than that... it became autumn in germany. we harvested the cherries, the apples, the prunes... and last week finally the grapes. there'll be at least 10 litres of wine soon
favourite time of the year... autumn / harvest nothing better than eating the fruits right off the tree
living is easy
and that's a good thing
so till next time
