Sketch out your ideas wherever you are

The few sketches above where made on my phone on the bus with a little tool called sketchbook mobile.
I was thinking about writing about autodesk’s sketchbook pro for a while but never find the time. But the new Sketchbook mobile is so amazing I had to do it.

Air bridge named desire

Get off my lawn.

As usual I was sitting in the bus going to work. Reading my RSS-feeds and still silently wondering how it could happen that Germany voted for a conservative liberal government. But hey, democracy is build a round the idea, that everybody has the right to make dimwitted decisions. So what?

Nicht mit meiner Stimme – Ich und die SPD

Ich wollte eigentlich nur Johnny Haeuslers Post kommentieren, aber mittendrin fiel mir auf dass es mir wirklich stinkt also kann ich es auch selber posten.
Wo fang ich an. Ich bin ein Linker, schon immer gewesen und so schnell wird sich das auch nicht ändern. Mein Vater ist SPD Mitglied solange ich denken kann. [...]
