Last week I asked at my dentist if they still have some old dentist instruments they might not need anymore. Recently while I did this sculptures I remembered that 30 years ago when my mother used to work as a potter, she had these tools as well. Those tools where lost over time, the happier I was getting "new" ones from my dentist. I am looking forward to use these instruments the next time I am sculpting something new. Letzte Woche beim Zahnarzt hatte ich nachgefragt, ob sie nicht noch altes Besteck hätten, was sie nicht mehr bräuchten - hätte ich fast vergessen. Als ich letztens an diesen Figuren gearbeitet hatte, viel mir wieder ein, daß meine Mutter damals als Keramikerin solche Instrumente auch benutzte. Welche mittlerweile längst verschollen sind, um so mehr habe ich mich über die "neuen" von meinem Zahnarzt gefreut. Mal sehen, wie es sich mit denen beim nächsten Mal modellieren läßt. |

blue eyes

Not a fancy design ... I just was thinking, even after all these years as an animator I never had the chance to animate characters that asked for broader use of squash and stretch, especially in the face. I mean really go for it, everthing is so conservative particularly the german productions. I guess I have to come up with my own project to pursue this kind of animation...

"otto & alwin" - sculptures
![]() ![]() |
Diese beiden Figuren könnten vielleicht manchen ehemaligen Kindern der 70er und 80er Jahre noch bekannt sein. Otto & Alwin waren wiederkehrende Comichelden der Frösi, einem Pioniermagazin der DDR und wurden vom Dresdner Comiczeichner Jürgen Günter erfunden. Glücklicherweise gibt es seit einigen Jahren Nach- drucke ihrer Abenteuer, da im Gegensatz zu anderen Comics dieser Zeit, mir von den beiden nichts erhalten geblieben ist. Otto & Alwin are comic characters best known from Frösi, a monthly magazine for kids in the GDR. They were created by Jürgen Günter, a comic artist from Dresden. Luckily reprints of their adventures were published in recent years, as not one page survived from my childhood. Super Sculpey Firm Height 13cm and 7,5cm |

plans

With
the end of January approaching I realise that one month of the new year
already is gone and I didn´t touch any of my personal artistic
endeavours so far. Here are some of the projects I
plan to continue or even finish in 2019: 1. developing a story arc for a comic based on this 2. pencil drawings waiting since a year to get finally inked continuing this 3. finalise one of two comic sculptures and starting the second one 4. filling some pages in my sketchbook 5. testing my new lego-camera-dolly-slider setup outdoors old mark 1 6. mastering music tracks (starting with the early ones) and finally upload them somewhere 7. recording older guitar pieces of mine (as long as I am able to play them) 8. writing down my music for others to play and creating new music tracks 9. resuming doing plein-air paintings I quite enjoy but somehow didn´t do for a while The split between work and personal projects is not easy. Unfortunately earning money to pay the rent is more important than living out ones creativity. Nevertheless I try to get something done. What are your plans for this year? |

stamps
Looking for a
personal and self-made
christmas gift I stumbled over the possibility to get official printed
stamps with your own individual motives on them. Here I chose older artwork that seemed to work also in smaller size, just adding some corresponding text. It is not really cheap but the final print looks good and the prospect of having your own little paintings and drawings travel around the world is quite thrilling! Auf der Suche nach einem persönlichen und selbstgemachten Weihnachtsgeschenk bin ich über die Möglichkeit gestolpert, Brief- marken mit eigenen Motiven offiziell drucken zu lassen. Die ausgewählten Bilder sollten auch in kleiner Größe funktionieren und mit dem zusätzlichen Text etwas aufgewertet werden. Die ganze Sache ist nicht gerade günstig aber der finale Druck sieht gut aus und die Vorstellung, daß die eigenen kleinen Kunstwerke die Welt bereisen, ist schon spannend! |
