I haven't been updating the website this week because I have been very busy but also had/still have a sore throat. But today I was at art school all day and got a lot done. Here's what happened: I went to the printing company to get my portfolio printed. It's…
You know that feeling when you are doing so much stuff but at one point can finally get something done? Well I do, and it's a good feeling :) The picture is (almost) done. I might define some edges and add some green accents, but I am trying to take…
I said before that my first unicorn helmet was done. Well I got a call from the commisioners and they said that I should try anything I can to make the helmets lighter. I should also add a spiral on the horns of both helmets. So it's back to the…
After almost 30 hours of work, one of the unicorns is finished! It features a green-pink color sceme with a thick mane. The Helmet is very sturdy and you can adjust the strap size. Number two is almost done, it just needs it's mane. The hair is drying on a…
...or dyeing fabric for the unicorn-manes. One mane is to be yellow, the other pale pink. I used natural dyes for the process, for no particular reason other than that I had the pigments at hand. The yellow dye is tumeric (also known as curcumin) and the pink dye is…
Now for something cute: I have been working on a comission of 2 unicorn helmets for a few weeks. They are now painted in their final colors. The last steps will be to varnish them and add a flowing mane. This project is one of my first comissions and definetly…
I got back from the US a few days ago and am still getting over the jetlag. The sun is shining outside and I am very blessed by the people around me. But at the same time I am also kind of stressed: I was at a class meeting on…
It seems to be test week, so today I did another test. I had been working on a table and today I put the pieces all together for the first time. At first the legs didn't line up, but then it all fit together. So cool :D I made the…
I went shopping this morning at an art supply store in Karlsruhe. Among other things I got new oil paint and some stuff for the unicorn helmets. In the end my bag was full and my wallet was not... (art supplies are expensive!) Other Progress News: -The helmets are…
It's official: I have a comission with the SWR radio station to make 2 unicorn helmets for their festival DASDING. The helmets will look something like designs B and C on the sketch sheet. Unicorns seem to fascinate a lot of people, especially those who in general are of the…
Why the sketches of rainbow unicorn heads? I heared about a comission from the local radio station SWR (South West Radio). They are putting on a big festival and part of the event will be a game where people put on unicorn helmets and try to pop baloons in a…
My work normally focuses on oil painting. But when you are on spring break, you can try stuff. I still need to paint during the break, but yesterday I tried out the metal side of things and went to a huge junk yard. I bought the material I needed to…
Yesterday I shared a bit of what I've been up to. The camera was lost, now it's found, so here are the missing pictures!
Here's a sculpture that was quite fun and interesting to make: "Marylin" (2013, Papermaché) It started with a set of coconut shells I had lying around. They reminded me of a monkey's jaw, so I made a chimp puppet. I put the puppet on my shelf, then waited for…
Hi Everyone! Here is my new Patreon-site! It's a crowdfunding platform where you can support creators and their content. I will use it for my art, but the first $2000 I make will go to the FRRME, because they are an amazing organisation that makes a big difference in Iraq.…
