shoes

recently, i bought some very cheap black canvas sneakers and decided i waned to do something with it. they hardly cost me any money so it wouldn't be too bad if i messed up. i tried a few different things and came up with this:


the kitties are based on a pattern on a beret i love, even though it's wool (can't stand it on my skin) and too small.

tutorial

here it is, a turorial on how to make your own shirt top:

men's shirt becomes top

a few weeks ago, i got hold of an old white shirt and wondered what to do with it. the answer came pretty soon: i cut off the sleeves and created a waistline to make it into a nice summer top. here's the result:
it's very easy to make, i'll post a tutorial later today.

moving pictures

well, i used to make my photos with the good old nikon D50, but it got stolen on a crowded subway in barcelona. i then got hold of my father's nikon D100 until i'd have the cash to buy a new camera. hard times, the camera was completely worn out (the shutter went very slow and both the lenses were messed up.) and then i finally got a new camera, the lovely nikon D90. i haven't found anything i dont like about it yet... anyway, the camera has a liveview option so you get a reflexcamera you can film with and yadda yadda yadda. here is the first video i ever made, it's mister pascal deweze (known from sukilove and other projects) singing 'needle in the hay' at the elliot smith tribute show on october 23d.

retirement home

we went back to the retirement home to make some more drawings today. i deided i'd spend more time on each one, using tones and a bit of color instead of doing those five-minute sketches in pentel brushes. here's one of the ladies i drew in the cafetaria:

wolfman?

this is probably the creepiest thing i've drawn in ages. i was in class, waiting for the teacher to discuss my works, when the doodle of a litle girl came up. then i started drawing a wolf, that eventually became a man wearing a wolfmask. i added the background later that night.
