Mathildevej

A nice and quiet sunday walk with my daughter

Antique book shop on Alhambravej

This is such a charming little book shop. It almost looks like a book crammed in between other books on an overfilled bookshelf.
You'll find it on Alhambravej in Fredreiksberg, Copenhagen.

Rosenberg, Gl. Kongevej

According to my wife, this is the best shoe repairer in town - and she's usually right. I haven't had any reason to use them, but I'm sure they will come handy one day.
After I drew this I went to meet up with my wife and her brother to vitness the first danish championship in office chair race down Valby bakke. For those of you who know the place, will know that this is a suicidal idea. Surprisingly enough it wasn't that dramatic

Frisør Finn, Vigerslevvej

 I just bought a new sketchbook, the Stillman & Birn Alpha series, and I've been saving this spot for it. I wanted something special for the first sketch, and what better than a hairdressers saloon with a sign like this. It's on Vigerslevvej in Valby

Vigerslevvej

Down Vigerslevvej again today. Actually it was another gateway I wanted to sketch, but my view was obscured by cars, so this one had to do for the time being. But I actually enjoyed sketching it. Funnily enough I never paid attention to what was on the other side, until I started the drawing.

Vigerslevvej, Glarmester

I've been cycling past this place a trillion times. It's on the way to my best friends appartment. I'm sure it was the turquoise store front that caught my attention.

Venners Hjem, Valby

I was cycling through Sydhavnen (South-harbour, an area in Copenhagen) Yesterday. I lived in this area some years ago, it's much nicer than it's reputation. There's one cafées in the area (which is very unusual for Copenhagen), so you don't have the Café latté people (todays yuppies) instead you have a lot of pubs. All of the pubs are very locale and some are more friendlier than others. Venners Hjem (Friends Home) is one of the many pubs, friendly or not, I don't know, I have never been inside, and now it seems to be too late, as it very much looks like it's closing down. Well luckely there are plenty other good places to go for a beer.
Any way Venners Hjem can be found on the corner of Trekronergade and Carl Jacobsensvej. Another nice yellow house, and probably pretty old too

Summer holiday in Denmark

Vedersø Churce

Vedersø Mill

Ringkøbing

The oldest street of Randers

Backyard of Ebeltoft

Lunch at an old inn, Ebeltoft

Old run down factory in Ebeltoft

The last holiday of the year we spend on the road of west part of Denmark - very excotic as we don't own a car. 

We startet of at Vedersø, where Kaj Munk was from, with a family get together. From there we drove to Ringkøbing to visit my wifes sister where we spend a couple of days. Then we drove across the country stopping in Viborg for a short stay at my brothers house and after that we visited my good friend, and urban sketching body, René in Randers, where they, according to René got the oldest street of Denmark. We ended up in Ebeltoft where we stayed for 3 nights. In Ebeltoft you will find some of the most crooked buildings in Denmark - hell the entire world, straighten up tower of Pisa. It's also a town of small annoying flies, but still it's a town worth visiting

Øster Voldgade

Another gateway, antother yellow building - This time it's Rosenborg at Øster Voldgade. The yellow color is typical of old houses in Copenhagen, especially in this area, Nyboder and the surrounding area

Vesterbro in the sun

My good friend Martin came to visit me this weekend, so we grabbed our pens and sketchbooks and walked through Vesterbro.

The top sketch is of the baker "Musikkonditoriet" and the buttom one is a pub on Vesterfælledvej. I've been wanting to draw both places for a very long time - And finally I got around to draw them and add some watercolours to my sketches too.
