I hope I can finish this week. I tend to stick to the most hilarious colors when it comes to Bogard. It's like a craving for eye cancer.
Normally when it comes to chubs the work-flow is like that:
Step 1-2 me
Step 3: Lew
Step 4- xyendlessyelling me again

sometimes we switch 1 ;) Some people seem to have a problem with getting other people involved in their art but I think it was the best decision we ever made. I save up a lot of annoying hours. I actually don't mind paying for that help. It's kinda annoying if you meet somebody assisting artist XY and when the money question pops up you see only blank faces with question marks over their heads.

Money? For assistant jobs? Oh my gawd, ho could I actually believe somebody would like to get paid for it.
Maybe I'm too honest and like my good karma but yes, I actually believe in fair treatment.

phew... last done >.>

...oh my, sometimes you really want to finish a job. And than.. things keep tumbling, piling up, deadlines rush in and you just forget what is still on your list.
I admit I'm a master of it. I'm just glad customers are so patient (most of the time).
I recently (subtitle: today) finished four illustrations for Scriptzz, an agency Maike and me started working for last year.
We dedusted the corporate design and instead of photos I went for clean illustrated portraits. It looks nice in combination with the actual business card since you have face-name combination (I'm so bad at remembering faces... and i guess other people as well...) which makes the cards -for me- much more personal.

Sadly the web-result is pretty small but alas.. it's the interwebz.

So much for "what do you do all day?" Actually do a bit more than drawing chubby animals and ogle my cats... mostly... oh well.

Everyday Caturday at Jetoy

If you haven't heard of Jetoy yet AND get that stupid "Awwww!" look when you see a cute cat design AND love accessories with cats, you should think about peeking into their shop.
JETOY

I just found those recently while checking up Yaya Love- a store chain recently spreading here in Berlin. To be honest ... I think I bought a bloody design-rip off wallet there. It makes me sad (and mad) so if you wanna go for the "real" stuff go for Jetoy.

I really like the black cat designs:

and the little red riding hoody cat:

as senseless as the image might be I guess some might think the same as I do: "Awwwww!!! Kitteh!!!"

Forgive me

You have to watch it

Wacom Intuos Grip Pen- Review

 I think a lot of people know that you have a lot of pen variations for the Intuos (3 & 4) that slighty vary. I have the normal pen (above) and the even slimmer classic pen. The problem with those are not really a problem but can turn into one if you have a tendency to get tendo. As some people know I got the Cintiq (and send it back). BUT pretty interesting was the rubber grip I found in the package. And really... that was the best of the whole freakin package.

 The Intuos Grip is meant for Intuos 4 but really... who cares. So I ordered 1 package (2 grips for 17 euro.. totally okay!) and puzzled the grip onto my pen. And of course it works. And damn, it's really nice.

 

I have to warn everybody that you won't be able to access the keys on your pen anymore. Simply impossible. But if you're okay with it the hand relaxes a lot more. Actually what I personally always wished for- and somebody seems to listen to my prayers. ;)

The grip can be purchaed via Amazon. If you're not from Germany you'll get the detailled information on the German site anyway :)

Wacom Intuos4 Grip Pen - Digitalstiftgriff (Packung mit 2 ), ACK-30002

As I said: 2 grips for 13- 18 euro (depending on the shop)

My rating: Awesome. One of the best inventions I got in my hands.

more incorrect nature...

I think we originally decided those to be tulips but I think those are plain "flowers without identity" after I got frustrated while painting those. To be honest... it doesn't really matter *what* they are and spending so many hours on something that will be like 3 cm "big" in the end isn't really funny but I guess it's worth mentioning.

Officially the first something related to a comic-page . Of course full-color... black n white is overrated in my opinion. Though sometimes I wish I'd be doing black and white. Especially when painting flowers and details.

if Lew were a cat....
