Master thesis - Berlin and WIP

I finally have an approach, a concept, I'm working.

There, some sketches and drawings from my thesis, and some other from Berlin, 2 weeks ago.

Malaga - Sevilla - Cordoba - Granada - Ronda - Sevilla

Hi there, I just arrived in Berlin, after 4 days of intense road-trip in Andalusia. There is the map, made on a napkin during breakfast in Granada. It's quite blurry, I took photos on my desk, and I don't have that much light here.

So, going trough tiny national roads, sometimes on the wrong side, avoiding all sort of small animals, learning the difference between Gasolina and Gasoil, escaping from multiples tourists tours, it was a long week end.

Ronda, and its bridge. Its massive bridge, it's really worth going through the mountains to find it.

In addition, two portraits made by Ben, you can find his blog here, even tough he's not posting a lot of what he's drawing (mostly people). And yeah, he can write in reverse. He's like that.

I coloured one of them, A portrait from Ely, a friend of our Mexican colleague.

Sketches in Sevilla

The final presentation is in a big Day. But as I won't probably be able to post anything here until I reach Berlin on the 6th of March, I'll shorten my already-short night for some sketches, some new pages of my sketchbooks.

Not everything here is from my master program, in January, I started a "task force" with the new heads of the AssoM (union of student associations from Marseille). Although the project comes from long ago, it was realised in a very short time, a reunion and the following week.

I ended up with this first result (delivered the day before I left for Sevilla), It'll be updated among the next few months.

But before being this PDF, it all sort of started as this.

Even though it is a numeric work, on Illustrator and Indesign, planned for websites, posters, and other communication media, it all start on paper, through tiny pages and rows of numbers.

Then, a few pages about the project here, to be linked to this post.

Some sketches made in the streets of Malaga, some other in dark auditoriums, angry doodling during an "artistic" week... and even two watercolours of two lecturers whose name I don't remember. That's right, after spending years avoiding to draw people, I'm finally starting to do it (a previous — and bad —  experiment can be found here.)

 Every 10 minutes, I was hatching a stripe. It was a pretty and long morning lecture.

Edition : Internet just crashed, I guess I'll publish it in the morrow.

Welcome to Malaga!

I just started the final workshop of my master program, I'm now in Sevilla. And our project there is located in Malaga, on the Costa del Sol.

We've been there during the week, visiting the city and the site; Los Baños des Carmen, a former leisure and tourist centre on the seaside.
Despite the light rain and strong wind, I was able to paint on site (using an old tuna can as water pot), as well as taking a few photos.


During the next few weeks, I'll post updates of the project as well as photos and sketches of sevilla. Until then, keep up the happy blogging!
