New Portrait: Lake

January 27, 2010

A new portrait from last week; her name is Lake Montgomery, she is a singer living in Amsterdam (I like her music btw).

Yay for Snow in Amsterdam!

A sketchbook is complete

December 12, 2009

Roughly 15 more pages of my sketchbook from 2008. Funny thing: I always thought its the one before my current one. But just when writing this – I noticed it can’t be. I fill at least 2 per year.
