Ashbourne

Lichfield

Nottingham

I have just spend 5 days in the Midlands - Birmingham, Nottingham, Lichfield and Coventry. Visiting old friends and revisiting old hangouts. As always I love this area, the people, the sits, the beer, the atmosphere.

Touring Nordhavn, Østerbro and Christianshavn

Drinking coffee in Randersgade

 Nordhavn 

Nordhavn

Christiannia

Spend the weekend with my great friend René sketching. 
We went back to the northharbour to sketch the marina. Got a cop of coffee in Århusgade and finished with a damn difficult sketch of a villa from Christinia, should have kept this sketch as a black and white. The line drawings worked really well, the watercolours screwed it up - but well, i'll be back an other day.

Brøndby Strand

You shouldn't think it's almost june, it felt more like late september today at the beach.
The little pink flee is my daughter catching something in the water.

Around Amager

 Finlandsgade

Strandlovsvej

I went to Amager today, searching for new places to sketch. I have drawn pretty much everything interesting in my neighbourhood, well pretty much evertthing.

I found these two spots (and a thousand more) I love sketching dusty industrial areas.

Nordhavn

Second sketchcrawl of the year, and first time I'm out with my sketchbooks.
Sketching through rain, icy wind and snow didn't stop us visiting Nordhavn (the North habour) a true klondike of small shacks, repair shops, trailer vans etc. One of those places where you always will find something new to draw.

World Wide SketchCrawl 49

Trekronergade

 Urban tree

Vestre Kirkegård

The last international sketchcrawl of the year went through Vestre Kirkegård, If you have not been there yet, you should diffenitely go. The place is huge and fill of fairy tales.

After the coffebreak at MÆT café we sketched down Trekronergade, where two top sketches are from

autumn leaves, Damhusengen

Trying my luck with autumn leaves before they disappear and it gets too cold for watrcolours

Bagergade, Svendborg

Spent the last couple of days decorating a music room at a local school, with the help from the pupils. And had the time to sketch a very good friend's house

Tømmergravsgade

Sunday sketchcrawling in Sydhavn.
I have been looking at this house to sketch for a long time, it is so damn big. This sketch doesn't really show how big it actually is. About 50 meters from there, amongst shrubbery and junk, you will find this old boat wreck. It's not really vandalised, just rotting to pieces

Vigerslevvej

Back at Vigerselvvej, I don't think there's much That I haven't drawn on this street. 
The red tower in this sketch, is the local fire station where my grandfarther was a voluntary firefighter.
I have been passing under this bridge about a million times, but it was not until a couple of weekes ago, that I realised the beauty of the different lines and shapes
