RÜGEN PART 1
I am back from a brief internetless vacation. Here are some of the first photos:
The land behind these ruins slid down into the sea.
We were walking for a long time along some annoying paved road with cars running us over, until we finally found this path that led down to the sea. There was a sign that said, “Enter at your own risk. – The mayor”. The way down to the sea is very steep and maybe dangerous.
A big dead fish on the beach. It was like 40 cm long.
We found two intact light bulbs on the beach. Kind of amazing how the glass survived their ordeal as flotsam completely intact.
Ilan on the rocks where the land slid away. They’ve built breakwater structures in the sea below. Black cormorants like to hang out on them.
Then we went to Prora, where there is the huge KdF-Bad complex built during the Nazi times and now largely abandoned …
A couple of more photos from this batch here, and more photos to come.
Week of piggies: Friday, Saturday, Sunday and all eternity
Tomorrow I’m going to Rügen for almost a week, where I will not have Internet access at all!
So I’ll have to post the rest of the piggies for the piggy week already now … ;_;
These are actually warm up drawings that I made during the Gothenburg book fair while waiting for a chance to sign my book. (Here are my reports from the fair, in Swedish but with lots of pictures!)
The Soviet tank soldier piggies (one of them with thalidomide deformities?) are of course inspired by Hayao Miyazaki’s comics about Otto Carius and Hans …
Oh, and then I found this sketch somewhere in my computer:
I think it might be related to my comic Pigs Have Wings. Or maybe not, because the girl doesn’t look like Ebba. Or maybe that’s the reason why it stayed just a sketch.
V`(oo)´V
Week of pigs: Thursday
At first I wanted to draw a giant forest hog, but I don’t know what happened …
There are more people who are drawing piggies this week! Anders Skoglund, Stef Gaines, Lisa Medin, Lisa Ewald, and probably even more! Whee!
The week of pigs, Monday and Tuesday
These piggies are somehow loosely inspired by the The Cure song, Friday I’m in Love. “Monday you can fall apart, Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart” … “I don’t care if Monday’s black, Tuesday, Wednesday heart attack” …
Johan Jergner started the wole thing, Frida Ulvegren caught on, and so did Louise Lange, Mikael Sol, Åsa Ekström , Nina Bunjevac , Simon Andersson, Kenan Rubinstein, Jenny B. and maybe even more people, and WHY DID I FIND OUT ONLY TODAY? I am so busy BUT I HAVE TO DRAW PIGGIES
