What i'm doing lately..

i'm working on some illustrations for Oiterpe (a dance and gymnastics club/school). 
in a few weeks, i'll be doing some live illustrations during their annual dance show.
i'm excited about the 'live'-aspect. 
they have some requests, so i'm forced to draw draw draw (which isn't bad).
15 illustrations, a poster, a bookmark and some postcards. 
maybe a reason why it's silent on the blogside :).

I finished the poster, working on the other stuff.

drinks with friends, catching up. my saturday happy moment (#33)

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..

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).

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.
