Doodling with the Kids

Last school-year I was supervising the kids at the early shift, just before classes started. The poor things came with their big rucksacks and seated down without taking off the coats, in a stadium between sleeping and awaking... and one of the most favourite activity was telling me to draw things. And I drew them all, and I guess for them was like watching tv.. sort of :o) Here some of the many many sheets of doodles.. you can imagine what they wanted me to draw.

Architecture guide

for "Villaseca de Laciana", a village in a valley, in the Mountains of Castilla y León, Spain.

Time ago I illustrated the covers for two biographic books, the two brothers who developed the milk industry also in this region. And it is for the same client that I have now illustrated this architecture catalogue of the urban-architectural history in this village.

Caretos N.2-2015

"Alle leise"

Dear visitors, I feel bad being out of this blog for soooo long time.. It was a hard work to figure out my new life in Frakfurt, and this process went -still going- slowly: taking my goals and routine again.. but it does not mean, I was not drawing.. I did draw, but not in my atelier in Kreuzberg with my loved people around... I miss them! And here a bit more Caretos...

Caretos N.1-2015

I decided to start the year with some more "Caretos".

Caretos N.1-2015
Watercolor on paper
Size 8" x 11.5" (21 x 29.7cm)

I have been moving from Berlin to Frankfurt. And from Frankfurt to Berlin to take the plane to Spain. And the way back. Asturias, Barcelona, Berlin, Frankfurt. And I am fed up from packing and sorting all the things in my working place, all the things at home. All the souvenirs from my so intensive long time in Berlin. Saying good bye to friends, and starting all new now... So I am messy. So lets draw Caretos to cure and make my brain healthier :P ( is just a pretext, I love drawing them, without need of arguments :)

Caretos in the Wall

"FINE-ROOMS" studio developed the decoration concept for this Hotel in Hamburg.
My paintings are already hanging on the wall and I like it!

I love the cosy and elegant atmosphere, the warmth of the wood and colors they chose and the vintage air.

Caretos in progress...

Here some pics of my work in progress, last July.

And here a brief text about this serie "Caretos". It is in german, may be you understand?

Thanks to the diligent, dear Gregor, who wrote those lines about my work:

"Die Caretos entstanden aus dem beiläufigen Zeichnen und dem Anmischen von Farben währen des Telefonierens. Irgendwann verdichteten sich die Skizzen zu Bildern und es entstanden wilde Schauspiele menschlicher Gemütszustände mit einem Hang ins Absurde und Skurrile, irgendwo unter Wasser oder im Scheinwerferlicht einer Bühne. Die zappelnden und gedrängten Menschen küssen, streiten, grinsen, staunen, starren, lachen oder bangen. So entstanden aufblitzende Momenteindrücke entgleitender Mienen, ein buntes Treiben menschlicher Grimassen – auf spanisch: Caretos."
