My last day in the

Today was packed! Janine picked us up and drove us to Oakville where Kim had a nice gig with her Jazz band. Good music and a sun-shiny day right by the Lake Ontario. Nice.
After that we met Cliff back in Toronto. He showed us the indian market and some of his Little India. We had some delicious dinner together. Thanks, buddy!
So I went to the studio quite late today to do my DAYLY DOODLE and start packing my stuff... only two and a half days left before i leave back to Berlin...

For some reason there were some problems uploading images today.
I hope that is only temporary - spent about six hours yesterday to replace the images of the first four weeks here. Bummer - big time.

| DAILY DOODLE. Mai, 1. |
This day started horrible. I found out that for whatever reason the first whole month of the blog was MISSING / GONE ... all of a sudden ... no idea what happened. I only know, I didn't do anything. It was just gone.
Okay, so I spent the last 5 or 6 hours checking all my pictures and replacing images. Since I didn't write the exact dates on each drawing itself, some of these informations are gone. Well, at least the original DOODLES and the pictures I took are still there. I am done for today, literally. Busy Sunday!
Mai, 1.

Today's DAILY DOODLE, April, 30. Just a quick one.
After that looong bike ride and the beautiful sunny workout day - I am pretty exhausted... |
 |
I had a bike ride to High Park and through the city today.
It was finally a bright, sunny day. Springtime, yay. |
April, 30.

DAILY DOODLE No;2. April, 29. This is where I live while I am here.

Since it was my birthday yesterday I tried to spend it as lazy as possible. I went to the F.A.T. (Fashion. Art. Toronto.), an alternative Toronto Fashion Week / Show.
Heidi Ackerman & Lindsey Sinclair showed their new collection. Great show! See some pics and click the link.
April, 29.
Thank you all so much for all the birthday wishes I got. I am truely overwhelmed by the number of messages, mails, and wishes I got. Whooow! THANKS!

| DAILY DOODLE. April, 27. Some old silos. |
Yesterday's artworks are about to dry again, since I put another very thick layer of varnish on'em. New pics soon.
So today's first DAILY DOODLE got some color again. It's another silo. I somehow love the rough beauty of those things. And down by the Lake (Ontario) there's quite a bunch of'em...
April, 27.
 |
| Not really a DAILY DOODLE, but yesterdays silos somehow "upgraded". April, 26. |
These are the two "silo drawings" from yesterday - in some kind of in-between-stage. Mounted on wood and some first layers of varnish on top. Gives'em a pretty glossy surface - super hard to take photos of. Well, at least it might give you an idea...
 |
| Me looking stoopid - I can do that in "real life"too ... ;) ...no doubt! Ask my lady. |
Some stoopid self portrait. Today's first DAILY DOODLE.
April, 26.

 |
| DAILY DOODLE No:2, Silo-sketch 2 ... to be continued. |
I love those silos. These are the black & white drawings - I will turn'em into something else. These are gonna be mounted on wood and I'll varnish'em and stuff... soon! I'd love to do that more - as I'd do in my Berlin studio - and not "only do drawings", but I gotta bring those babies home with me somehow.
 |
| Good morning sunshine! |

I went to Montreal for a couple of days. Friend and fellow artist Chris Dyer invited me to stay at his place. Awesome host! He showed me his city and we had some super fun skate sessions at the "BIG O" and right by the Olympic Stadium. Also some great miniramp session at a private skate loft. Thanks, bro!

Bye bye Berlin. I just arrived to Toronto. Swapped places for 9 weeks.
Annette will join me the first five days. After that I will stay another two months by myself.
The flat here turns out way smaller than expected, maybe half as big and not comparable at all to what I've left in Berlin - bummer.
But hey, it's not for good - so I will deal with that - I actually have to anyways.
March, 22.

Last day in Berlin. Thanks to my friends for this sweet present.
I'll take it with me and take care of it - no doubt!
I'll be back - it's only 9 weeks. Thank you so much. One love!
Celebrating with my friends.
We had a "bye bye celebration" with all my peeps in
my studio the weekend before I left Berlin.
Thank you all - one love! |
