Window alphabet update: I painted the window alpha

Window alphabet update: I painted the window alphabet that is on display now in April and it’s really starting to decay: People tried out if the paint came off when they scratch and they scraped words into it (Why »MAMA«?!)The paint on the O got wet and crumbled off. And last Monday when I got to the studio, I found that some graffiti guy left his tag right outside my door: NOMOR! ⁣
⁣
People who know a thing or two about graffiti told me that he’s a big deal and that I should take his tag as a compliment and an appreciation of own work. It does remind me a bit of the dogs that mark their territory on my doorstep, but I also consider digging out the paving slab and displaying it in my window … ⁣
⁣
Anyway, it’s definitely time to paint a new window alphabet. I won’t get around to it until November and painting outside when it’s only 5 degrees and foggy – no fun. But I’ll do it! I’ll do it to keep you entertained! So stay tuned. ⁣

Ten days ago I went to the countryside for a nature drawing workshop with my friend @elkehanisch I think it was the fourth time I participated in one of her drawing workshops and it’s always a pleasure. Sign up for her newsletter to find out when she‘ll teach again!

This summer, the German government decided to make

This summer, the German government decided to make nationwide public transport available for only 9 Euros a month. Prices for gas were exploding, and the idea was to help out people who commute to work and to encourage them to go by train rather than by car. ⁣
⁣
Like may others I used the 9-Euro-Ticket for day trips to see friends and family. In passing, I gathered a new collection of shop signs in several small towns in northern Germany. Small towns are such a great resource for amazing vintage signs, I wish the 9-Euro-Ticket didn’t end after just three months! ⁣
