Harry the Summer Hipster

It's summer and Harry the Hipster is at the beach with his Alien friend <3. or something.

We finally found a temporary apartment where to live until the house is fixed or we get our money back. Let's hope it's not for years... 68 square meters for five people... don't know about you, but it's too crowded for my taste -___-  About half what we have now, oh boy :p

Two more weeks at the office and it's four weeks of vacation tiem! woooo! We have only one week at the same time so that sucks though... Then it's playschool time for the boys and the other half goes back to work. I need to figure out something to do meanwhile. I'd like to go to the summer house but I need to pick the boys up from the playschool every day and stuff, let's see.

Jazz!

* oldschool hipster *

This one was supposed to be called Harry the Hipster but apparently in the olden tiems there has been a famous Jazz guru Harry "The Hipster" Gibson... and as this picture and/or post doesn't have anything to do with jazz or Mr. Gibson I decided to call this just Jazz!... but then again it doesn't have anything to do with jazz either. I'm just too stubborn to give up with my original catchy title. And then again, now, so far it's been all about jazz and Mr.Gibson. So, should I just change the title back? I give up.

We got the internet yesterday, yay! It's slow as hell (booooo!) Still renovating the kitchen (another booooo!). I asked another ISP to check if they are able to offer us fiber which would mean speeds around 100-300MBps They will also check what it would cost to create such a line. The starting price is 1800€ and the help desk guy said that in some cases (if you live in the woods) it could be more than 10 000€... so no... let's hope for the best though. Google told me that in most cases here it's normally around 2000€ which is still ok... I'm a nerd and I need my cat pictures to load without any lag!

Post-it Art v2.0

Wide

I also have these wider notes lying around and I decided to give it a go :p It all started from the grumpy face in the bottom left corner... and it stayed in that shape for the whole week or so until I started to randomly build it upwards while watching Stargåte SG1 from the Netflix.

I actually had a pretty clear plan for this one for some reason; wide screen TV and some kind of news anchor guy inside it... and this is the result. Plus I actually regret drawing that goofy looking skull. It should be much more serious.. like the one in my second blog post :p

Back to basics

It's a mess

Doodling in it's purest form :) Lots of lines and shapes... and a funny skull. It may seem like nothing but these are actually the ones which take lots of time. There are times when I wonder if this more than just doodling as sometimes I find myself thinking so much about the picture that I do not have a single idea what the meeting is about or what I was doing before drawing the lines :)

Love?

I think that this is one of the coolest post-it drawings that I've made, but I don't like the fact that it is too ... pre-planned.

This one I made while watching Battlestar Galactica series at home and it actually started as a skull drawing test. Few days later I started to add random shapes around it. Pretty soon it started to look a bit grim and nightmarish and I continued to follow that path knowingly. I was planning to fill the whole note with random lines and shapes, but I didn't want to ruin the "feeling" and I stopped. It however took me several evenings to do this as I was REALLY careful how to continue. Fortunately there's four BSG seasons :)

------- Love-------

Well, that's the word that I still feel when watching this... The love is beautiful, but oh so hard, merciless and grim thing. Due to my fiancé's long and, eh,  difficult pregnancy I was a bit depressed when I did this and I felt that I needed to make a point ... that love is dead or love you to death, what ever. Maybe I was listening to this when I got the idea, who knows.
