sketches

No new fanart yet, I started the task of digitizing my sketches and other artwork though. It can be only a matter of days until I lose interest, it's not the most interesting pasttime. But, I already have a nice collection of stuff I drew over the years. Most of these were done in the early 90s. I didn't seem to get to sketch a whole lot after that.

Anyhoo: buncha sketches.

Boston, the Back Bay Fens. I'd totally forgotten about these, I was meaning to colour them.




I did quite a few when I was greyhounding through America (you're doing a _lot_ of waiting when you're going Greyhound.)

I'm calling this one "In the Middle of Nowhere, Idaho." This was at a rest stop.


a few hours later, around midnight in the middle of nowhere. We were waiting for the connecting bus, which was over an hour late. This guy wanted me to draw him to pass the time.


one of the Greyhound drivers. We were chatting for hours on end. He had this sign that said "Don't talk to the driver."


Asable chasm near Burlington, Vermont, on the other side of Lake Champlain.


also in Burlington


Some small Vermont town on the Green Mountain Train line


Museum of British Columbia in Victoria. Really cool museum, beautiful dioramas


London, British Museum.


and one of my favourite places, Kew Gardens




St. Martin's-in-the-Field, the café in the cript.


some place in Munich... German Museum?


this is somewhere in eastern Germany, right after the reunification.


And a few glimpses of my hometown. :)

This is... I don't actually know. But it looks cool. Taken at the canal lock.


our "harbour" (it's tiny. This is pretty much it.)


turning 180°, one of the old warehouses, now refurbished & hip.


in the Schlossgarten (castle gardens)


some nondescript place, the building was torn down the next day.


Cathedral (with chickens)


and finally, at the zoo...
baby python



Aand, that's a wrap.

Wow! I had no idea you could do this. These are, like, incredible.

Also, i didn't know you'd been to Victoria!

I like the bus driver.

I liked the bus driver, too... a really nice guy. :)

I've been to Victoria two or three times. Do you live there? I love it. I even briefly wondered whether I should consider moving there ('t was a number of years ago though, when I was young and spontaneous). The people are so friendly, and there's so much to do outdoors. Dunno about the whether in the winter... though I was told that it's not as bad as Vancouver.
