Glowing in the dark


on friday, i was a guest on Lisa Tahon's tank series.The concept: a young artist gets 'carte blanche' in an art center, and invites his/her friends for a night full of creativity: expositions, theatre, dance,...

i was flattered that Lisa asked me to illustrate, but struggled with the drawings (what to draw when you don't have a clue). we talked about illustrations in the dark (and lightened by blacklights), which seemed like a cool idea. So i tried, and after two drawing days i was satisfied. 
the picture-taking was difficult (because of the blacklights), so here's just a glimp.
a lot lot lot of legs, one giant leg and some animals with human bodies (seem to never get enough of this).

my first experience in non-applied-illustrations in public. i liked it, but still need a lot of sketch practice..

happy weekends


Pilates

last thursday, i discovered pilates.
after a busy working day, it was nice to lay down on a mat and focus on muscles (that i didn't meet before).
although i didn't get all the exercises, it was relaxing. and i felt healthy.
after a second lesson this week, i'm convinced.

i draw a quick one, 
about 'letting my body sink into the mat' (it really was an instruction).
(happy moment #31)

Black ink






















last week in drawing class, i enjoyed working with just chinese black ink.
focusing on shades and composition. 
i like the feeling that after a while, you're seeing the things in a different perspective.
