medium: black marker, brush pen, pencil

Alpe Cardada

Bocchetta di Spluga, 2153 meters above sea level - resting after a sweaty ascent

Cavergno - just a quick sketch before the bus

Fusio - at the end of the six days - with a extra-fat marker

and as a contrast with a extra thin pencil

i like it when people sleep - they don't move (almost)

Jonas & Luisa, two children on the goat alp Nimi

trying to catch the structures of the snow fields and stones on 2000 meters above sea level

Alpe Nimi - an old stone building in the mountains - still used by both hikers and goat shepherds

and these are the goats

drawn on three different pieces of paper and stichted it together in Photoshop, the common room in one of the lodges

big vs. small

todays drawings are complete oppositional: big train station vs. small living house

time&space: today, 12-15 minutes each, medium: black marker

big and rounded fassade of the Bahnhof Enge in Zurich

small living house on top of a small hill - bordering a quiet parc

fast sketches

preparing for holidays - exercise in sketching faster

space&time: zurich, 28.6.2013, each 10 to 20 minutes medium: black marker

Hürlimannareal - and old renovated brewery

somewhere between the street - quite an "un-zurich-esque" building, in my opinion

a tiny tin can - also called car

Binz - an old factory, occupied by artists and activists for years - they're tearing down the bilding now

first time

first time full color - thought it would be worser

space&time: Zürich, 9.6.13 medium: brushpen & watercolor
