Sketches for a new project based on Hong Kong. It's looking quite interesting...

Also known as "tea party and zombie".

Visual journal of Botswana

In July I had the amazing experience of seeing a little bit of Botswana and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. It was such a beautiful experience, I thought I should at least try to draw a little of what I saw (not very well, but hey, I need to improve my observational drawing so where better to start from?). The photos I took, although I don't consider myself a great photographer, already don't do the place any justice.

 

(the one thing I really miss about Africa, which I saw the first time I went, is its summer sky. The first time I went was December, full-blown summer in South Africa, and the rainy season, you had all these magnificent clouds, hanging on the enormous sky so close it seemed as though you could touch them. Since then I've only been able to go in July, so winter over there, when there's not a cloud in sight.)

My drawing probably don't do justice to the place, but I had great fun doing them and even now they remind me of lots of things I would otherwise have forgotten.

Pandora's Box.

I actually can't watch movies anymore without having a sketchbook nearby. Louise Brooks is gorgeous.
