I'm a unicorn

A digital doodle from my private blog:

Background story: a few days ago, I managed to slip in the bathroom and knock myself out. I had a huuuge bump and a concussion but I'm OK again. I had imagined being a unicorn to feel a little more glamourous, really.

Two girls and a cat.

Silly doodles... (Moleskine sketchbooks and watercolor - ackh!)

CoE - Austrian holidays and a guessing game

I could fill several pages with holiday tales but for the sake of laziness I settled for depicting the people I met and realized how dreadful I am at remembering details of how people look - even people I've known and been friends with for ages! I'm so awful (I refrained from putting their names down, so that if somebody feels offended I can still claim it's not them. Harharr!).
My absolute favorite here definitely is Kiwi. Also: slot cars and bathtubs FTW!

Thanks everyone, I had such a great (and far too short) time. I miss you already!

CoE - double-sided desperation and midnight sightseeing

Catching up with diary doodles from before my holidays in good old Austria:

By the way: The Berlinale tickets were for the movie Exremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I both cried and laughed a lot.

The books depicted above are:

• Spera, by many great artists (follow the link to read some unconventional princess stories online and admire the fantastic artwork!)
• Wasserfarbe für Gestalter, by Felix Scheinberger (who's drawings and books I find amazingly inspiring)

I ♥ riot

This is (A) a love letter to all the awesome women* on this planet (heavily inspired by Wet Moon btw, if you couldn't tell) and (B) a little watercolor sketch not completely unrelated to a (longer-term) comic project I'm planning:

[Edit: I find it rather unbelievable but this picture apparently was rated too sexy (or something?) to be uploaded on imageshack (it was removed and I had to upload it directly on blogger). I mean, come on, she's wearing underwear. Most facebook profile pictures are probably more explicit than this...]

Aaahand, completely unrelated: the following is a goodbye card for one of my flatmates who'll leave us tomorrow to study in Augsburg. I drew it with the crayons he gave me for my birthday. Good luck, Jin! May there be shitloads of crazy fun awaiting you in Augsburg - and wherever else life will carry you! And don't you dare forget your freaky flatmates in Berlin.

CoE - superdoodle-y

Oh, somebody didn't quite feel like halfway accurate drawing. Sorry for the super-scribblyness. I hope I'll have a little more time for these again soon.

Yesyesyes. I'm sure I've already said it (multiple times probably) but I'll say it again: Culture Slut is one of my absolute favorite perzines. Number 25 was an intense read (due to the author having a difficult time). In this issue Amber also writes about her participating in various psychological and pharmaceutical studies which I've never done, so that made it a very interesting read for me, too. Here's the link to Fight Boredom Distro where you can get her newest zine plus lots other awesome stuff.

CoE - a snowy crush and extreme flat hunting

The flat hunting is driving me nuts. I already see myself under the bridge or in Spandau. Not sure which one is worse.

By the way, Scott Pilgrim is one of the rare examples of a movie I still like in spite of having known the book(s) before. I totally laughed my ass off several times. And I have such a crush on "Roxie Richter". Is she hot or what?! I highly recommend the comics, too, of course!

Ooooh, and another recommendation: If you like (per)zines and comics: Nicole J. Georges' "Invincible Summer" is a must-read! (I got the anthology as a late birthday present - thank you so much, Harley!! ♥ )

CoE - dentist nomination

Let me tell you: Berlin is a terrible place to look for a flat (for rent). And all German stereotypes come true. Before people let you even see a flat, they want all sorts of documents and proofs of your (credit) worthiness. And no matter what a disgusting hole the flat in question is - there's at least 15 people before you eagerly applying for it. So, uh, if anyone knows of a vacant, bright, cheap, cosy, little flat, not too far outside the city, with a bathtub (I totally insist on the bathtub!)...

(My sincere apologies to my dentist. He doesn't look as bad as depicted.)

CoE - recovering persimmon pop up party

Have you eaten a persimmon recently? Seriously, persimmons are the most awesome food of this world. Did you notice I love persimmons? Man, I do love persimmons.
Also, I should get my ass up and produce a proper drawing some time.

Since he already got it a while ago (no suprises ruined), here's the card I made for my dad's birthday:

Hah. I'm such a queen of the kitsch.

CoE - party for the stupid

Cherry-coconut-banana-custard birthday cake!! With lots of custard!!! I live with the best WG ever.
