another lovely wedding!

and another artistic effort by yours truly! my colleague got married to his boyfriend, and i had the honour of designing the card to accompany the present we got them. they love travelling on cruise ships (no pun intended), and of course life itself is a journey, so i gave them travel cases. for some reason i also thought of frank sinatra and the titanic (again, no pun intended), so they had to have those fancy 20's/30's suits and everything.

the church ceremony was beautiful. and especially lovely when the three choir girls started to sing "proud" from the gallery, accompanied by a slightly too low karaoke disco beat ... which made everyone smile and turn their heads. (what is it about the couple facing the altar and not the happy crowd? i think they miss a lot.)

practising ...

our inspiration/illustration blog "das, was kommt" is in its eighth week now, and it has been a bit of a bumpy, but very fun ride so far! sometimes i post photos, sometimes i draw, almost always i do it last minute ... this is one of my favourites:

birthday birdie

i have a friend that i call "lieblingshuhn" - "favourite chicken". it was her birthday, and i made her this card with a voucher inside (under the wing).

oh lala

the august 2011 issue of PRINZ features a text on the amusing subject of pepper parties, house parties where ladies can "try" and buy sextoys like vibrators and dildos. and i had the unquestionable pleasure of illustrating this lovely theme ... :)

whatever will be, will be

my friend marcia and i decided to keep ourselves busy by creating a new blog: "das, was kommt" = "that what comes" (pretty bad translation, but you'll get the gist!). every sunday one of us grabs a random novel, randomly opens a page and chooses a sentence. that sentence has to have enough content to be inspiring ... and then we have seven days to go create. you can make anything, it just has to be postable. i have only just uploaded my first (last minute, i confess) work, as seen below, but i think this is a really fun way to stay creative. and everyone can participate, so get to work and send your stuff (on time) to daswaskommt@hotmail.com!
