Kick off Party Berlin Art Week

Berlin Artparasites organized a kick-off party for the Berlin Art week. The event took place in Stattbad Weeding. The location was fantastic. The bath-units were use as exhibition spaces for the artists. I was invited to sketch the event.

Curry Wurst 36

If you go to New York, probably you will try a hot dog, and in Italy you might try a pizza. If you are in Berlin the thing you have to taste is a "Curry Wurst" (It is a sausage with tomato-curry sauce) and the place to go is in the Mehringdamm street 36, the place has the very practical name Curry Wurst 36. No way to get lost, I would said.

Jüdische Kulturtage: Abschlusskonzert Pianisten Nacht

Jazz has always been my favorite music for sketching. It gets inside me and without noticing, it starts to influence the way I draw. I get looser and tend to improvise. I have to say, that this was a fantastic concert.

Abschlusskonzert
I love the space in the Synagoge Rykerstrasse.

Here you can see a detail of the previous drawing. The Pentel brush pen allows me to do very fine detail.

Jüdische Kulturtage: Oi Va Voi

The U.K band. played in the Rykestrasse Synagogue. A beautiful building that I always try to include in the drawing.

Double click on the image to make it bigger, it is really a nice double sheet drawing.
