Tivoli

The sun is out, temperatures are up and I've been out with my sketchbook - oh, it feels good. This is the back side of Tivoli. For this sketch I tried Noodlers Lexington Grey ink in my fountain pen. It's a bit strange drawing with grey ink, something I have to get used to, but I do like the result

Visiting friends in Svendborg

Spending two great days in Svendborg with some of our best friends. In many ways Denmark is a strange country, so small and even thought we have snow in Copenhagen, they didn't have any in Svendborg. Which gave me the possibility to do a bit of sketching

Oslo

I have just been to Oslo. I went to attend the European Illustration Forums yearly meeting, with a lot of great and very talented illustrators from around europe. 
Everyone told me Oslo is such an expensive place, I didn't believe that, right untill I went into a pub and ordered a beer - Wow man, it's expensive! But everything els is great, the norwegians are fantasticly friendly, the place is charming and beautiful, great atmosphere. There's nothing there I don't like, well except for the price of beer

Viborg

A couple of weeks ago I went to visit my brother and his family, who has moved to Viborg, about 100.000 km from Copenhagen. Viborg is a very old historical city, which has played a great part in danish history. What I mean is, that it has a great place to sketch.  
I spend the weekend with them, during the annual animation festival, and amongst a lot of great movies, we watch Ernest et Celestine, with out a doubt one of the greatest movies I have seen in a very long time 

Copenhagn Zoo

Enjoying the sun and sketching Copenhagen Zoo today

Omøgade - Lillemors pølser

It happens that foreigners ask me about traditional danish food, and usually I'm not sure what to answer. But hotdogs and especially these hotdog stands are very typical danish food. It's not very healthy, but it taste great

Trekronergade

Back in my old neigherbourhood. I've walked through this underpass a million times, never thought of sketching it - Sometimes the motives are right under your nose

Summer days in Coventry

Just got back from a week in Coventry visiting the great family Kendrick. Listning to some good music and drinking some very nice bear.
These two sketches was done in the area called Wyken, a typical friendly english neighbourhood.
I have lived in this city for 2½ years and it's always nice to be back. Alot of people slag off the Midlands, but they obviously don't know much about the area - I rather like it

Sketching Peter Bangs Vej

Cruising down Peter Bangs Vej with my sketchbook and a loaded Lamy - Hmmm!
I,ve walked passed the train station a million times, without thinking it as a sketch, untill yesterday it hit me, that it might be interesting.
I've been wanting to sketch this garage for years, but it's had to find a proper spot to sit with a proper view

summer holiday at Samsoe

Summer holiday sketches from Samsø and Odder. Again this year we climped our bicycles and spend 10 days biking around Samsø and ended in Odder with my wifes family.
As I was sketching the yellow house a deer jumped out from the bushes and ran into the fields.
From the lighthouse you can see Sealand, Funen and Jutland, which is pretty cool.
