I made a new mix today for “Frau Mit Muskeln” but after listening to it twice afterwards (quality control, etc.) I wasn’t really happy with it anymore so you have to live with the cover until I get around for another round of mixing fun.
Ah, the joy of wacom and painter. It feels like an improvement over my old graphire… I liked the photo ref so much I just had to try to “paint” it. Though actually more of an exercise than anything else.
So, it is just as I promised. After a little hiatus I am back to regular blogging of my nutty and silly doodles and sketches. I bought some nice new brushpens and some other stuff here in Kyoto, Japan. University is about the same as it is at home. I thought, dare I say “hoped”, that it would be different but my language abilities are fare from good it is very hard to grasp too much let alone participate in a way that I am used to in Germany. Still, there is a lot that is new, interesting and challenging and I can already say that even after just five weeks this trip is going to be one of the best things I could have done. In short, it is inspiring to be here. I hope I can carry some of this back home.
So while I am still trying hard to pound Hiragana and Katakana into my head I got myself a shiny new Wacom tablet to mess with. Here is doodle I made of one of the toys accompanying my Powerbook at the moment… I have filled some pages in my sketchbook with doodles as well but as I do not have constant access to a scanner I will have to post these some time later.

As some of you may know or have found out via the “Links”, one of my spare time activities consists of mixing dirty techno tunes. With two other friends we are the DJ-team “Frau Mit Muskeln” which translates to “Woman With Muscles”. Since I haven’t felt very compelled to draw much since my arrival in Japan I have made a few new mixes which you can listen to at our myspace page or you can download the tracks in high quality (320 kbps) directly off my server. Of course all these are accompanied by incredibly and intentionally oversaturated cover artwork. I’ll list them here for your fun.
