Herkenrather Kapelle. On my way to a client, but I was early, so I had time to stop my car and draw this little chapel. It was standing alone in a field next to the road. Weather is improving at last!

Architectural fantasy in Piranesi (1720-1778) style. I visited an exhibition of Piranesi’s work in the Sir John Soane musem, London, was inspired by one of the drawings on display.

Protesting in Bulgaria.
After a picture by Valentina Petrova.

Corner of New Oxford street and Tottenham court road, London. Drawn at location, took me 3/4 of an hour.

Drawing of a Ford pickup hotrod (1934), drawn at an oldtimer meeting a few weeks ago. Drawn on location.

Burrito on the Atlanta airport. It was not a good idea to eat heavy beans before a 8 hour flight to Europe.

Istanbul, the Galata bridge crossing the Golden Horn. Drawn/painted on location; you can see the fishermen on the upper deck of the bridge.

Do chairs go to heaven?
(according to Uncle Bob they do)

Carnaval in Maastricht 2012 (Netherlands).
I know, this looks like a scene from Lord of the Rings, but this a samba group. They are called “Segura!”, and they make Brazilian style Samba music during the Carnaval parades here. And dressed up like something between Darth Vader and Orks. Impressive suits and fantastic rhythms!

More Dutch Carnaval parade sketches. I had to go to three different locations to sketch this, each time they’d pass too quickly. In the end I had the linework and some colour splashes done, finished it at home.
