Dicke Buecher-Leserinnen
Two women reading real big books.
Yes, there is hope. People like to read big books.
16 November 2013 Sketched on the ICE train from Bremen to Hamburg and in Hamburg Airport while waiting for my flight to Teneriffa. The women on the right read Douglas Adams "Hichiker´s Guide to the Galaxy", a trilogy in four parts.

Waves East of Barbados
Almost there. 250 nautical miles east of Barbados on the 9 December 2013. The wind was increasing and the waves coming from behind lifted the boat but went smooth under it. A feeling like going down a ski slope without a ski. The waves rolling in look gigantic and you hope you do not get wet.
Transatlantic to Barbados 2013
Almost in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you get a feeling how small the humans are. The speed of a sailing boat with 8 knots is almost equal to the speed of a stage coach in the 19th century. Sketched on location 2 December 2013. The colorful sail is a gennaker of 88 square meters (about 1000 square feet). Our position was 15 degree 34´North and 040 degree 5´West (Take a look in Google Earth).
Sketched with pen, ink and watercolor while the boat was rocking and rolling.

Transatlantic with sailing yacht Doertita 2013
This sketch I made on the 2nd December at latitude 15 degree 34`North and 40 degree 5 `West in the middle of the Atlantic. We were three guys and it took us 22 days from the Canary Islands to Barbados in the Caribbean. We saw only two other sailing ships, only water, flying fish, clouds and dolphins.
The ship was rolling all the time, so I started with soft pencil and then went under deck to the fine work while trying to hold everything. It was never more difficult to draw for me.
The boat is a forty feet yacht and she carried us safely to Barbados.

Berlin im November
Hier ein paar Skizzen von meinem Novemberwochenende in Berlin.
Schön wars, es hat mich gefreut, mal die Berliner Sketcher kennzulernen, auch wenn ich sie nicht sonderlich treffend zeichnete.
Ein Abstecher ins Buchstabenmuseum, das gerade renoviert wurde, aber inzwischen wieder offen hat.
Und schließlich die Rückfahrt, die sich dank der tatkräftigen Mithilfe der Deutschen Bahn um drei Stunden verlängerte...

Blitzspaziergänge...
Blick aus dem Büro auf die Tübinger Stiftskirche... |
Im Schatten des Blauen Turms in Tübingen. |
Ich habe mich das erste Mal versucht, einen Oldtimer zu zeichnen, den ich am Strassenrand entdeckt habe. Also vor der Arbeit den Dreibeinhocker ausgepackt und losgelegt. Leider ist mir das Objekt meiner Begierde kurz vor der Vollendung davongefahren, so dass ich die rechte untere Ecke aus dem Kopf fertigstellen musste. Sieht man.......
Kunstwochenende in Berlin
Das Vernissagenpublikum zeigte neben dem üblichen Schwarz diesmal auch bunte Strumpfhosen, sogar in Neonpink, und wildes Schuhwerk, wie diese dominatauglichen Lackpumps mit Nieten.
Am Sonntag ging es zur artbookberlin, wo Künstler ihre (Buch)werke zeigten und auf Verleger oder Sammler hofften. Man konnte Unikate bestaunen und Siebdrucke oder Holzschnitte kaufen. Habe mir zwei Bücher mit tollen Illustrationen gekauft (gedruckt und zu einem normalen Preis): Märchen von Oskar Wilde und ein Buch mit Texten von Tucholsky und Illustrationen von Klaus Ensikat.
Danach heiße Schokolade und Kuchen im "Fräulein Wild". Eine Wohlfühloase im feuchtkalten November.
