Damhus Tivoli Part 2

The other day I visited the Damhus Tivoli again, to sketch the place before somebody desides to shut it all down.

A couple of working men was doing some stuff there, I don't think they were repairing any thing. As they walked past me, one said to the other: "we got everything here, except from open" - well they have a lot to draw, that's one thing.

Damhus Tivoli

About a 10 minute bike ride from our appertment you'll find Damhus Tivoli. It's completely deserted none of the attractions has been used for years - it could be the perfect place to shoot a zombie movie.

There has been a lot of talk about tearing it down, so I desided to get some sketches done before it is too late.
Some of the fruitmachines are still playing their music. A couple of teenage rollerskater girls used the mini golf track as their privat ramp before they decided to try and rob the slot machines for teddy bears. - I'm definitely going back there soon.

39th World Wide Sketchcrawl at Nørrebro

The 39th World Wide Sketchcrawl went to Nørrebro, and I think it's the first time I've been sketching in this part of Copenhagen. It's not my favorite part of Copenhagen, but it's an ok area.

The top sketch is of a sweets shop, I never realised that before afterwards when I was looking at my sketch.

Mosedalvej

I love sketching garages, but they are always too overcrowded with cars to actually see, so I never really get the chance. But today I was lucky - and I was lucky with the weather too. The sun was out, the snow is gone and only some drops of hail. It didn't start to rain and the snow came later in the day, so in fact, a good day for a sketch.

March in Copnhagen

These two photographes are taken with 4 months in between. The top one in December 2012 and the other this morning. Preferably it should be green and sunny instead it's white and not very urban sketching friendly.

-At least my daughter is enjoying the weather

Sønder Fasanvej

Cruising down Sønder Fasanvej, well at least for a coulple of meters. I've had this spot in mind for a while, it's just across from the entrance to Frederiksberg have.

Jydeholmen

Back in business. The sun is shining and the temperatures has peeked to a mere 3 degrees. My pen and block is out, and even though it's a bit cold, it's great to be back in the streets sketching.

This is a pub in Vanløse. I like pubs, and I like drawings pubs. One of the things to take into consideration when sketching a pub, is the pub guests. They are great people, and very curious, very talkative, full of great advices, and some not so great advices, but always very friendly, as the people of Midtpunkt on Jydeholmen in Vanløse.

Jewellery sketching

My urban sketching has led to this advertisment for a danish jewellery designer and shop

Vesterbrogade

It's still minus degrees and the snow is covering Copenhagen, so café-sketching it was. We went to this great little café, 'Zigar Baby' on the corner of Vesterbrogade and Sundvedsgade, where we found a table by the window. It felt like the place was build on a trampolin, because everytime somebody past by our table, everything was jumping around - But who cares, it's a nice café and it was great to be out sketching again.

Velcro Baby

Our daughter has been ill for the last couple of days. Nothing seriously, just high fever. Obviously the little angle has been very poorly and hanging in our arms has been her only comfort. And for some reason her stroller was the best place to sleep during daytime. 

So my bit for this section of The International Sketchcrawl is a sketch og her stroller - actually it's vibrant green, very cool!
