New Header

I’ve changed the header. So there’s at least ONE dragon on the blog.

Of course thats not what the title represents, but you know ...
... just to be sure.
I needed a new header anyway. And it’s fun to play around with Inkscape.

Winter is here

It's -15 °C outside

The sun is shining, the sky is a pale blue,
there are timberframe builings, an old church,

blackbirds, a huge cup of tee and some drawings

So whats that Anderswelt-thingy anyway?

It all started back in 2006 at the anual Thing of the German Tolkien Society.
It took place at the count’s castle Diez. (which is a really beautiful building) where there are lots and lots of tiny, litle Drawings of Fairytale Creatures hidden all over the builing, so you could wander from room to room searching for all those little treasures.

Here are a few pictures of some of them:

Three years later I decided that I wanted the same for my rooms.
That’s how the Project Anderswelt 1.0 was born and it was a huge success.
Today I’ve got a new flat, I’ve killed (almost) all of the pictures, and I’m ready to start anew.
Sadly my flat isnt ready yet, so you will have to wait a few weeks before there are any NEW roommates – but there are a lot of OLD ones I will show you soon.

Aufbruch

in unbekannte Gefilde - und das in mehreren Dimensionen.

Im Laufe der letzten Wochen habe ich mein großes Anderswelt-Projekt abgeschlossen, bin etwa dreihundert Kilometer durch Süddeutschland gezogen, ein neues Projekt begonnen, einen Blog gestartet …

Wer weiß was sich noch so alles tun wird?

Mit diesem Blog möchte ich euch – wie so oft schon gewünscht – die Möglichkeit geben mir beim Zeichnen ein bischen über die Schulter zu schauen. Ich möchte euch vor allem die Bilder des Anderswelt 2.0 Projekts zeigen, aber auch viele alte Schätze ausgraben und natürlich auch neue Bilder die so in meinem Kopf herumschwirren.
Ein großer Bereich soll meinen Illustrationen zu Tolkiens Werken gewidmet sein.

Soweit der Plan.
Sie verlassen nun bekannte Gewässer - here be dragons

Farn

Ach ja: Ich möchte diesen Blog auf Englisch verfassen, habe mir für die ersten Einträge aber doch noch Deutsch gewählt ...

If you think my use of the english language is awfully bad, please let me know. There is at least one more language I`m capable of using.
