[sticky post] artbook: ~Kaleidoskop~

Yo i can finally present you my own artbook [KALEIDOSKOP]. Some of you already waited, i hope you can collect some money and get it. I already got myself a copy and it looks really good, though i made some mistakes with the font and there are some white edges where they shouldn't be. But please don't expect this artbook to be produced professionally anyway, since i made everything by myself. It's not as neat as [Freestyle] *laugh* but at least IT'S A BOOK XD.

On these 144 pages you can find a lot of my recent artwork in intuitive order. I tried to connect them by their contents and not by chronology. Paintings, drawings and a lot of photography - especially shots from Siberia - are included. Also there's an extra, a written brainstorm-essay kind of text about "why i make art", which i posted here on Dec 23, 2007 i think.

There's a lot of Arashi fanwork by the way hehe, but of course not only. For those who get to read this and aren't familiar with my art might want to check out my deviantART gallery.

I uploaded my files at lulu (self-publishing company), and they print it for me yo. If you purchase a copy, you just pay lulu for printing and for shipping, i don't get any money from this. If you wish, you can send me money nevertheless though if you feel like it lol. If you are broke, you can also download the file. Though i'd really appreciate if you bought the actual copy. U_U

Please support me! I'd be glad about promotion too! Thank you. ^__^

I wouldn't recommend dl though, because the pfd file is probably too huge to open ._. my folder is also too big to upload at any sharing website.....mhh, maybe i can resize. To be updated.

Goofy jürgen

Forced myself to do this for our art teacher for tomorrow as a goodbye present. The others wanted me to mix him up with Goofy, i rather mixed up Goofy with him. Yes. So this is what we faced those 2 years art lessons: theory XD;

I could start my laptop for a second to copy the files into my brother's computer XD. This first one sketch i made last night after working on uchiwas....yeah, after i won against art block on matsujun uchiwa. with this sketch i had artblock again when i drew with hard pencil, but at least i could win the fight by using soft pencil >_>; *fighting the will to go to bed* referenced, again. maybe gonna add color, later.

Nino day 10

oh and i have soemthing to laugh for you XD. The figure drawing i mentioned in my previous post. this was probably too hard for me at midnight time. really ridiculous. gonna try again later lol. lol. LOL.

hai.......so this is day 10 and 9 (->previous post), day 8 is missing. and day 11, today. urrrrm, i'll catch up. i will. because i want to try out new tshirt pen anyway, and got some stuff to print on tote bag.....mhhh curious if it'll work. also i got myself some different kinds of clay, wanted to try that out too. hopefully i won't fail on it as in my first time =_=; but i want to get into 3d visual art a bit because i want to try out sculpture someday too.

jya, what i was doing the past 2 days without break was making uchiwas for german fanmeeting ne. idk if they still look like pingpong bats, but i changed the holders into wood sticks (you can see it in the last evening image)....fixed with very hard glue. and i work a lot with textile on them, i think it looks quite neat. maybe not refreshing in summer, but it definitely looks like quite nice handmade (satisfied). though i cannot really sew, have to get into it again after 5 years of neglecting. sew with my hand though, because our sewing machine bugs. it's more relaxing this way.

I already have nearly finished....let me think....6 uchiwa. one of the jun uchiwa.....it looked so terrible, it looked like a woman, i painted over it...i mean, really just smeared white color onto it and restarted. from time to time it had way more resemblance to sakurai *sweatdrop* but i already had put 'matsujun' on the back, so it had to be matsujun. horrible painting block, but in the end i'm really satisfied. gonna show you later with the other uchiwa :) i don't have made photos yet.

you can see the jun uchiwa i overworked in the middle of other uchiwa on the last picture.....right next to the other jun uchiwa. so it doesn't exist anymore *g*........yeah, i sit at the garden table all day long until it gets dark and/or cold, listening to kiiroi namida ost...ahh. sewing is sort of fun :D

Uchiwa bla working til late

Okay. My laptop is playing kind of wierd. Just when i wrote to Annie it could restart itself every second, it did so =_=; Before this i was about to make a post.....um, at least i could manage to scan something, but when my laptop doesn't want to start, i don't have access to it from my brother's computer XD.

Oh, here, i managed to upload this one before it collapsed the first time this morning. Drew a portrait yesterday night because totally failed to draw figure lol. Reference from somewhere in arashigoto.

Nino day 9

Might make another post later *laugh*....ummmm. I'm not lazy btw, i'm working like crazy on uchiwas.

Reference from arashigoto photobook picture.....sketched yesterday and colored this morning. It's not 'copied' from the picture.....he looks different on the photo, and my perspective of the face is different.....hmm, i made another sketch where i tried to draw what i see and not what i imagine, but i like this one better xD.

Sorry for the paper wrinkles X__X;;;

Ohmiya uchiwa

Nino was hard to paint. For some reason. Hai, this is uchiwa i made for niji~ and it's referenced, but it doesn't really look like the reference image xd. i'm quite satisfied though.....with the painting, not with the uchiwa quality haha. My first uchiwa @_@.....made for niji.

I already started some others.....i use hard cardboard paper (the one i used for building portfolios earlier this year~).....cutting out the forms is quite hard since i have to cut a circle form;;;; then i stick some cloth onto the cardboard....um, and in this case i add canvas on top lol. The others won't all look the same i think.

My very first one was a failure btw....because the holder was way too thin. Made them wider now, so the uchiwa kind of look like a pingpong bat lol.

Oi, you see i already messed up Nino's face in the sketch.....xD. And this is my workplace.....no wonder my back hurts. I work on the floor all the time.
