This one is done in pen and coloured digitally – I usually would use water colour, but I started drawing it on cartridge paper before realizing I wanted to colour it. I don’t really like to use that paper but hey – I’ve just moved country again..

Leaving Berlin, moving to Cardiff
Everything has been packed, posted, broken, thrown out and stored, we are pretty much ready to go.
I am stopping off in London next week, there is a Waterhouse exhibition on at The Royal Academy. – I’m really looking forward to it.
Bye Berlin – love you!
Potsdam, Germany
On a very, very hot day we went to visit Potsdam with a few friends. It was beautiful but I recommend a bike if you go there!
A portrait
This is a photo of Gene and I together.
Paris
Paris is so so big and so so beautiful and so so overwhelming.
Gene and I made the ridiculous decision to catch the train from Berlin to Paris in the heat – we arrived sleep deprived and sticky.
Paris gets very hot1. We didn’t have the right clothes for the heat – I’m pretty sure we sweated out a few kilos! The food was amazing, the buildings were beautiful.
I’m a lucky duck.

May Day, Berlin 2009
Szczecin, Poland
Szczecin in Poland is not too far from Berlin by train. We thought it would be novel to hop on and go to another country in just three hours.
From the windows we watched the world change from Germany to Poland and marveled at how different the buildings became.
I would love to see more of Poland one day.
East Side Gallery just before restoration- 2009
Not far from me is the East side gallery.
“The Berlin Wall East Side Gallery is a 1.3km-long section of the wall near the center of Berlin. Approximately 106 paintings by artists from all over the world cover this memorial for freedom and make it the largest open air gallery in the world.”
It is currently in very poor condition, the remaining of the wall itself is crumbling away too. There is interest in repairing the remainder of the wall and the artwork, more about that here.
