2007-10-18 13:27:00

And I will need one or more partners to have more fun. Check out the next two posts for more information.In case want to know how to feel miserable as an artist, Keri Smith will help you out. And for the really bad days she´s got an artist´s survival kit too.

Du Riechst So Gut By Rammstein
2007-10-16 20:28:00
The past days I have been reminded a few times of the music I used to hear some years ago. Rammstein was one of the bands I listened to - among many different kinds of music. So here´s a video, which I specially like because of the colors: red and black.Rammstein - Du Riechst So Gut by RammsteinDer Wahnsinn ist nur eine schmale Brückedie Ufer sind Vernunft und Triebich steig dir nachdas Sonnenlicht den Geist verwirrtein blindes Kind das vorwärts kriechtweil es seine Mutter riechtIch finde dichDie Spur ist frisch und auf die Brücke tropft dein Schweiss dein warmes Blutich seh dich nichtich riech dich nur Ich spüre Dichein Raubtier das vor Hunger schreitwittere ich dich meilenweitDu riechst so gutdu riechst so gutich geh dir hinterherdu riechst so gutich finde dich- so gutich steig dir nachdu riechst so gutgleich hab ich dichJetzt hab ich dich Ich warte bis es dunkel istdann fass ich an die nasse Hautverrate mich nichtoh siehst du nicht die Brücke brennthör auf zu schreien und ...

Happy Day!
2007-10-16 15:45:00
What a great day yesterday. The ordered book "A Lifetime of Secrets: A PostSecret Book" by Frank Warren finally came. I read about half of the pages so far and it feels as if I´m holding a treasure in my hands.And then a lady I got to know some weeks ago, just gave me her old bicycle. What a wonderful present! I´ve been wanting to have one for quite some time now. I offered to pay for it, but all she wants is to have a cup of coffee with me. Thanks, B.!This is one of the pics I took in Amsterdam. I like the pic and the text. It´s a good motto. ;) It´s a mirror in the "House of Bols". If you look carefully you can see me inside the letters. I´ll post some more journal pages and about the fun I had there, in the next few days.

Right now I had to delete the first comment ever. Listen, I´m very open-minded and love to talk about everything.

But please do not use the f***-words in the public comments. (Exceptions can be made when talking about sexually explicit topics! ;) )

Open your heart and let it out!A last minute entry for IF with the special topic "Open". Please enlarge the image to have a better look at it. The illustration was made of these words: "Open your heart and let it out". 3 or 4 times I wrote "Open your eyes and let it out" by mistake. I guess, that´s right too.From Illustration Friday: "We here at Illustration Friday are so excited to announce the first ever Illustration Friday gallery show!Open, a bookstore and art gallery in Long Beach, California in Long Beach, California is sponsoring this week?s topic, ?open?, and in a show opening November 3rd ? in less than a month ? they will display 25 IF entries.

Amsterdam - Day 3 (Part 1)
2007-10-07 03:38:00
On the third day of my stay I used the 72-hours i amsterdam card. The Van Gogh Museum was too crowded, so I just walked on to the Jewish Historical Museum. Wonderful and interesting! And I was pretty lucky with the special exhibitions they had there at the moment.The museum is housed in four synagogues. Each synagoge shows a different part of the museum. There was an exhibit which reminded me of my husband: A hat with a hat box and a little hammer. Any body who knows what it is used for?One exhibition showed works by Charlotte Salomon, titled "Work in Progress". On display were the reverse sides as well as individual sketches which she made for her series of over eight hundred gouaches, "Life? or Theater?". Charlotte Salomon (1917-1943) painted these remarkable gouaches to tell her life story.Charlotte presumably considered the pieces that were on show unsuitable to include in her series. The sheets were unnumbered, and in some cases she concealed the person?s face, by sticking some...

Amsterdam - Day 2 (Part 1)
2007-09-25 20:33:00
NEMO is a famous science center right next to the Central Station in Amsterdam . The word NEMO means "nobody". Inside the NEMO visitors believe themselves to be in no man?s land, where fantasies seem to become real.The I amsterdam Card is great for visitors who plan to see some tourist attractions. It is also for public transportation and restaurants. I liked the two canal rides most of all the free offers.Van Gogh Museum. I drew it way too dark. Hava a better look here:The only thing at the Van Gogh Museum which you didn´t have to stand in line for having a look at, was this staircase. It is beautiful and all black and white.I was surprised by some of Van Gogh´s pictures and motifs. Check this one out.

Amsterdam - Day 1
2007-09-21 00:12:00
The first day I was quite tired - going to bed at 2 am in Munich and getting up for Amsterdam at 3 am. Still I enjoyed walking around the city and had 12 hours of sleep my first night at the hotel.I went to a famous coffe shop. It used to be called Chocolata and they used to make wonderful chocolate pralines with a kick ;). But now the shop has been taken over by Abraxas. They do not have all these pralines, bonbons and chocolates anymore, but at least they did have delicious brownies and muffins.The most important item on my to-do-list was to go to this comic store. It is Europe´s first antiquarian comic shop and it has a great selection of comics in many languages. The Lambiek Stripantiquariaat is as great as I had expected it to be. I could have spent hours there and it took me a long time to decide which comics I would buy for myself. They had so much more phantastic books, but I just didn´t have the budget for that.These are the 3 comics I got for myself:Exit Wounds by Rutu M...

Amsterdam Moleskine Journal

Finally I managed to scan in some pics of the Amsterdam Mole skine journal I filled with sketches and some text. The pics I´m showing here do not have the same succession as in the journal and sometimes I just drew on any empty page (which I felt was the right one). So the posts here do not show the exact chronology.Here´s the first page of the journal (The last one is similar.) :The hotel (Thorbecke hotel) I stayed at:The surroundings of the hotel with a lot of sights and places to visit (Rembrandtplein, Thorbeckeplein, etc.):

Did I ever tell you that my favorite color is red?While I am writting this I´m wearing a skirt in exactly the red shown in the pic and my pullover doesn´t look different either. I should actually take a pic of myself lying on the red sofa. I guess you wouldn´t see me.Well maybe you would see my huuuuge belly. After each and every holiday I feel like 10 kilos heavier and I can´t see any food any more. At least I´ve got 9 days to recover from all the feasting. Then the next holiday starts with another 10 days in a row of eating.... errr ... celebrating.

I went from waist long hair to shoulder length hair a few days ago and changed the color from blond to copper. And today I finally bought myself a Bonsai (the first of my collection ;) ) which I´ve been wanting to have since more than 15 years now. Two of the first changes for the new year. Seems to be a good start for a better year.I wish all of you a wonderful Rosh Hashana - specially to Mim (who I´ve been neglecting a bit the past weeks)! © by mkIndustrial

Be With Me by Eric Khoo
2007-09-11 22:03:00
"Be with me, my beloved love. So my smile may never fade."Yesterday night I saw Eric Khoo's latest feature film in a tiny, tiny movie theater around the corner (in the basement). (Click on the images to see a larger version. I specially like the one of the old guy.)The 3 stories in ?Be With Me? are intertwined around the themes of love, hope and destiny. The characters lead separate lives but all desire to be with their loved one. The autobiographical life of Theresa Chan, who became blind and deaf, inspired the movie. An elderly shopkeeper living the twilight of his years in loneliness. A timid security guard pining for unattainable love. A teenager experiencing love, and love lost.The initial passionate stage that lovers experience with each other, the insecurities that creep in, the fear of losing the other. As fast as...
