Hot! Hot! Freakin' hot!!

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 3, 2008, 11:58 AM
Okay, the weather is at the moment truely not mine. Far too hot. But okay, when it would be grey, raining and cold, I would complain about the rain and the coldness.

I got today the author's copies of the two children books Iworked last year for. They went out nice. And something odd happened to me. The more I looked at my illustrations in the past, the less I liked them. Now it is different. When I looked the first time in the books, I was ashamed about the quality of the illustrations. Now I looked for the seventh time (or so) in the books and now I like them more and more.

Okay, there are mistakes and some parts are not so outworked, I imagined. And I think, now I would do some pages completly different. But all in all, I think, I have done good work.

I had been in the past a bit too often at home, so I plan for the weekend a trip with my bike. Near my home are lots of beautiful moated castles. So I will take my sketchbook with me.

Congratulations for your work with the children books. Will it be possible, in a near future, to see some of your illustrations here on DA?

Kannst du vielleicht die Bücher verlinken? Ich würde die echt gerne sehen :) Bin total neugierig auf Arbeiten jüngeren Datums von dir.

:nod: I feel the same way when I look at my old work. I'm certain all artists do...

Thanks. I plan to scan some of my favourite pages from the books for my online-portfolio. So, I will upload them here on DA, too.

Ja, ich wollte einpaar Doppelseiten für mein Portfolio einscannen. Die packe ich dann auch hier auf Deviantart. Ansonsten sind sie auch hier zu finden:

Yes, I agree with you. I think it is a common feeling of many or maybe most artists.

Hey danke :) Ich freue mich auf die Doppelseiten!
