Moleskine: Hands + Cosplayers

2010-07-08T23:12:00.004+02:00

I have a original Moleskine since some days. I'm rather pleased with it.
Here are some Cosplayers. These people all dress them self as someone from an Animated serie (Anime) they really love. Cosplay stands for Costume and Play, 'cause when you cosplay you also need to be in the character you'll be 'playing'.
The persons on the left are from stock images and pictures from the Sportpaper.

I love hands. They are nasty to draw but they look so beautiful in real life.
Got these from bookcovers till newspaper pictures till my own hands.

Darkness creeping in

Darkness creeping in, even if you don't know it.

I was inspiration-less with number 4. Dark. I wanted something strong but not the same old cliché. But now I think about it this is also cliché.
tho it was fun, working [more like rubbing ballpoint all over my paper] on this. The thing I like the most is the door. It's not stable or made with a ruler. It contains the 'soul' in this drawing.

Made with 2 ballpoint pens. While listening to The Fray - Heartless
Time: 10 minutes

Clear Light

2010-04-23T22:30:00.000+02:00

Clear light is one of the most beautiful things in the world.

Being able to open your window or your curtains and see the world outside in a lovely weather or.. in a lovely light.

Made with watercolours Van Gogh and with Paramore as music.

Love comes from everywhere

2010-04-05T12:52:00.003+02:00

Love comes from everywhere, not just your lover or your family.
I think the most love comes from the teddy bear, or any other plushie you got from when you were still lying in a small blanket too small to understand what is going on.
and dusty. Tho his/her owner will always love him no matter how dirty he/she is.

Love from the 100 theme challenge
Made with watercolour, used reference (my own Tommy) and with The Fray as music.
