250 km

Hantje found a new place to sit, play, nerve and sleep: Right on my desk. What is really irritating is that she loves the mouse arrow which makes it kinda impossible to work since you have your whole screen "pawed" by her.

Yesterday Ty and me visited my family -celebrating two birthsdays- and we drove right into a thunderstorm. It's been a long time since I was in the middle of such a thunderstorm. Partially the streets went down under and although it was fun to drive through the puddles of water it made a little mess in our time-table. Oh well...

Gucci... Hantje and Tretel's half-brother. He is SO HUGE. When we first saw him we both went like "omg, that's not a cat!". I have no idea if he grew a lot or we aren't used to huge cats anymore but we both pray that ours won't get that big. He's a meanie btw.

Sunflowers in my parent's garden. I love that garden, it's so unbelievable huge....

Wine- still green. That one grew in the garden when I was a baby as well. I have no idea how old the plants are but the wine is sugar-sweet in autumn (one reason for regular visits... hehe).

my father's passion for wood... it's just a detail shot since I didn't manage to get the whole thing on a photo without stumbling right into the raspberries.

Oh YUMMY! I love tomatos. Thanks god my parents still think we pratically starve in Berlin and lavish vegetables and fruits on us every time we visit. :D

Getting closer to Berlin again. I stood up at 06:30 and was back home at 02:something.... So tired. We slept longer than expected but fresh air from out of town makes me always tired.

The Yellow Dino

Original character belongs to Yudi. Love that critter! Only a little fan service... rare thing.

Black n White n a Fail

study for something I didn't finish because it was canceled. I might say "thanks god" or "darn" or "unhappy me" but I guess it's okay since I suck in painting humans a lot lately.
Drawing animals all the time for projects doesn't help at all solving the problem. I guess it's always like that if you have decide for your "style" and oh my if mine shall be cute chubby animals for the rest of my life I won't start complaining.

but damn, my general concept was so nice. The only thing I'm unhappy about.

Comics you should read...

are those of Lew.
follow the white rabbit

I love her comics. Not only because Hanni and Tretel (after the last week named "Hantje and Tretje"... since Hanni IS orange) got their very own comic :3

Shikishi

... tends to be unspellable for people who have no idea what it's used for.
Actually it's an autograph card on thick paper with a fancy silver frame.
My summer Shikishi for for the AnimagiC in Bonn, Germany will look like this:

after doing Kulla Shikishis this one is kinda great (not that the others were not great but Chubs give a lot more possibilites). I had some really odd ideas but this one was the best without giving too many spoilers.

Ugly watermark because it's a must.

Whoever wants the card should attend the AnimagiC convention in Bonn at the end of this month.

The day I buried my computer...

It's SO EFFIN HOT. Gods... thankfully the cats are happy with a plastic bag although it tends to be kinda annyoing if you have to concentrate with "kr schkrschkr" all the time.
Plastic bag dilberately destroyed. Goal achieved.

I spend the whole day rescueing/saving my old files... I didn't think it would take that long but well...

Hilarious slippers. I would never wear those outside but for "Cat wants to chew on your toes"-protection those are fine... It can't get any uglier though. And I realized that I am as pale as a corpse. No intention to melt in the sun though... 42° are not funny anymore.

Treadle likes those as well. I never had a cat with such a huge shoe fetisch.

Treadle: "They suit me, don't they?"
Anne: "..."









And: The evil package of doom (doom means= because of you I'm literally broke, you.. you... arf!). Computer is not back up... hope I can get everything done tomorrow :(
It sucks a lot.

PS. If you ever consider buying the suite, buy the englisch version. The german costs 1500 Euro more. Can anybody explain why anybody should pay 200% of the normal price?! I don't get it.





Yesterday I got bad news for my current job. Which leads me back to my project. If something isn't working out the way you want it, skip it and do what you *can* do. I am still angry though... spend so much time on something that will never be finished. Well, at least it taught me a lesson. Never to late to learn something, right?

*muttering*

Dear Tendo, I didn't miss you...

why did you come back?
