Some Lines on Italian Architecture

July 9, 2013

Here are some drawings from a recent trip – some views of Rome and Siena. Very inspiring to see the massive structures they’ve built 2000 or more years ago. Some defying explanation until today. And many were built so fast that it puts any modern construction to shame – they got bridges done in days … Continue reading Some Lines on Italian Architecture →

If the octopus from this clip is not the most heroic creature that ever walketh the earth… …. and did you know they have brains in each of their … Continue reading Octohero! →

Time to continue from the last post about the Opera costumes. Here are nine more designs for “Katia Kabanova” that was (playing at the Opera Zuid). But first some photos of the production – here you can see the mud that covered the whole stage, which I had to preview on the designs also. Most … Continue reading “Katia Kabanova” Costume Designs – Part II →

Red Pencil Witch

January 10, 2012

A little experiment with red pencils – thanks to David and Nadia for the tip. I think I overdid it a bit though … as usual. The paper got wavy from all the shading and going with white pencil over the red (even if erased) is impossible. Could be interesting to adjust my style to … Continue reading Red Pencil Witch →
