Santa Tentacles

Here, have a mechanic octopus with a santa hat. Also a huge disco ball dangling in between it’s legs …

This is a slightly bizarre version of christmas, found at the Santa Monica Pier on one of those in-between days after christmas when the old year is slowly fading out.

That was in 2014 already! Time flies.

I’m just now working through the pictures from the month-long trip to the US two years ago, yes I’m super fast, I know. But the christmas octopus is just awesome. I don’t really celebrate christmas – but I like weird things so this is perfectly christmas, as far as I’m concerned.

Also this is why my parents now have a big, sparkly, wooden walrus* ornament on their christmas tree.

Kitsch. Patriotism. Seagull.

* Considering I bought it in San Francisco, I think it really should have been a sea lion. But I only found a walrus. A happy fat and sparkly one, so I guess it’s fine.

Clowns ahead.

moar scissors

I Love the aesthetics of linoprints.

In between all of the usual end-of-year chaos, a dear friend invited me to play with her printing press. We made a few things, and in the end I finally managed to print the linoleum plate I cut as a test when trying out the newest laser cutter.

Turns out that the prints I wanted to make were too complicated for water based paints, so now I have oil based ones (jay for black fingers and mineral spirits ;). When looking at my black fingers, I keep being reminded of my print workshop teacher from art school – When anyone was annoyed with their paint-stained hands, he would always smirk and say “Na, es heißt ja die schwarze Kunst” (Well printing is black art after all).

painting with light

One could start think that I really like sunsets a lot, considering the amount of sunset-pictures I have been taking/posting lately … But honestly I mostly like the colors.

The weather we have been having lately just makes for the best light.

I don’t even like brown, but the colour scheme here is so nice … bright sunlight and rain clouds.
