people at the airport


 Back in June i traveled with my dad to Munich to see family, and luckily we were able to squeeze in a day in Vienna, which was great (and way too short) - especially this year, when the city celebrated the 150th birthday of artist Gustav Klimt, one of my all-time favorites.

We also witnessed some gut-wrenching art from Klimt's amazing  rock-star student, Egon Schiele! *swoon*

There's so much Klimt-ness to see around the city, it was a crazy 28-hour marathon of museums and galleries sprinkled with Austrian cuisine! a recipe for success :)

heaven!


Standing in front of their art, for real, was a dream come true... words and photos can't do it justice.
That didn't stop me from going nuts with the picture-taking, which you can see here.

A few months later i found out about the Google Art Project, where the world's museums share parts of their collections in high quality, for free, with advanced search options and detail magnification. It's quite addictive. you can check out the Vienna museums here:
Leopold Museum (largest Schiele collection in the world)
the Albertina (largest graphical collection)
KHM - Kunsthistoriches Museum


if all the museums opened up to it, it could save me taking hundreds of awful photos :)

Had to draw something to keep my sanity:




Actually i drew this girl on a shuttle bus on my way to a screening of Louis CK's new show. Quite uniquely, Louis uploaded the 1-hour show to his website this month, for users to download/stream conveniently for only $5 !
It's a really cool concept, and the show is hilarious (my cheeks and abdomen were aching so bad!!)

Here's an outtake that was put out there to promote the thing:



I warmly recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind honest, intelligent humor (and curse words, of course)
pay the $5, you'll even be doing some good to humanity:

Some new faces

Hi,

So these are the newest people i've drawn ever since those old ones from last year (two posts ago):

People at the hospital waiting room in June:


People at the hospital (different waiting room though), last week:
that's my crowd, what can i do? :-/

And from us ugly normal people, to beautiful (and photoshopped) ones - drew these from some ads in my friend's copy of Vogue (OMG The September Issue!):


Models aside, I hope to draw more unsuspecting citizens soon :)
Bye for now and thanks for stopping by!
