Paper Music

So I started to make small paper maché instruments each time I get (and try to learn) a new one for myself; the miniatures are to be played by rod puppets which I already made, or are set up as instrumentalist.

As to a band name, my suggestions would be:

Tinny Tim and The Paper Machés
Circus Sunset Orchestra
Tony’s Buttony Band

Note: This band needs a trumpet and one large drum, also a double bass would be most welcome (- though I don’t plan to learn either of these right now).

Travelogue done, what’s next ?

So I just finished the last pages for the Arthouse Sketchbook Project 2013. The book is titled ‘Travelogue / Around the World with a Ginkgo Tree’ (- he’s sitting right on the windowsill).

Home has kinda gravitational pull; so does the road.

Behind & in front of the curtain

Backdrop for a festival stage (my most recent work).

In the foreground, you can see the lovely singer/accordion player/stilt walker Linda Trillhaase … too bad you can’t hear her play.

Just imagine the music takes you on a walk into (and behind) the curtain.

Bavarian Brotzeit

Miniature snack on a scale of 1:3 all made of papermaché – ham and salami are as vegetarian as newspaper can be.

For the 1:3 appetite. Mahlzeit!

Painting, music & dreams

Musician and composer Martin Vogel is going to release his new CD soon. I did the animation for his composition ‘A dream’.
You get the chance to watch painting in progress, and see as yellow faints, red hides, and blue yields to the dominance of white; nevertheless the colors are present (and as solid as any good dream).

Travelogue in process

If there is no way, there may be a way right through.
Yet another ballpoint drawing for the Arthouse Sketchbook Project 2013

Round the world with a Ginkgo Tree

… tested the new ballpoint pen right after I got it in my favorite art supply store, filling another page for the Arthouse Sketchbook Project 2013.

So far it’s a travelogue but I think of renaming it (see title) … depending on the perspektive how the tree likes traveling.
