Leipzigs BOESNER Artists supply store.

To shop there you have to register. So since Saturday I'm proud to call myself a freelance artist.

BOESNER stores are Heaven and Hell combined. Heaven: because you get literally every art supply you could think of, and strolling and foraging are not only allowed, but wished for (Not so in another art supply store in the city. There you are always looked upon as if you would steal, I hate that store.).
Which brings us to the Hell part: most of us operate on a budget, so you have to choose and can't buy everything at once. Grrr. I could've easily spend a few hundred Euros in there. But I didn't. I just got a sketching pad, a few artists coloured pencils (oh my, I'm in love with them), a stack of empty postcards (so I can get creative on them) and a special envelope box to contain my smaller drawings (I already have an A3 map, but this is crap for A5 or postcards). All of that together made a "nice" sum, but it was soooo worth it.

And in case that you are interested in my drawings: http://sansartofswirls.blogspot.com/

Munich is colorful

It's winter and Munich is monochrome...but inside Munich is colorful!

Light installation by Dan Flavin (N.Y. 1933 - Riverhead 1996). Untitled (to you, Hainer, with admiration and affection, 1973). Exhibited at the Pinakothek der Moderne.


München Marienplatz station: U-Bahn level with extension tunnel.
München Marienplatz is an important stop on the Munich S-Bahn and U-Bahn network, located under the square of the same name in Munich's city centre. The station is one of the most frequently used stations in the network, with more than 30,000 passengers using it per hour. Designed by Alexander von Branca.

Gewandhaus zu Leipzig - Lamp

Took them last Sunday after the Ravel / Debussy concert, which was awesome. And so it this Lamp that lights the staircase over several floors.

Gate at the municipal departement store at night.

Bear with us, we are both (Chris and San) in technology trouble.

Me at the moment, me on Wednesday

The left bowl shows how I feel at the moment, the bowl on the right shows how I'll feel on Wednesday, when I moved out!!

I LOVE THOSE BOWLS!!!!

The Pinakothek der Moderne

My first museum visit in Munich. I enjoyed it very much!
With four major museums presenting art, works on paper, architecture and design under one roof, The Pinakothek der Moderne is one of the world's greatest collections of 20th and 21th century art.
Sunday ticket costs only 1 €!
