I've browsed through the web to read more about the writer DOES.
I haven't found what I thought I would, but I was lucky enough to come
across this piece of art. 3 on 1, you can tell..

Yesterday I searched for graphic design jokes on the interweb and I found something beautiful. Actually it`s not a joke, but anyway: "If we were type I would kern U and I closer together." Whooaa <3 :)

2011-12-02T04:19:00.000-08:00

Oh my. I`ve done very bad lately and therefore I decided to do nothing. Like now. I`m supposed to sit in class, but I`ve learned a lesson for myself. From now on I`m gonna listen to my mind at first and looong after that listen to other peoples opinions and demands. I gotta start a new way of living, otherwise I will crumble inside. I love life. And I need vacation. Now.

Sry, didn`t post anything for a while. I`m quite busy at the moment and I have to fill another blog for a university project, so maybe you`d like to read that in the meantime. It`s about a brand we have to create around a product. I chose printed masking tape, and named it creatape.

#53

2011-10-24T03:41:00.000-07:00

This is my new university project. Finding places in my town that remind me of movie settings :) I`m gonna show you the outcome, but first of all I have to take some pics :) This is a passage underground screened with another one from French Connection.

2011-10-17T01:06:00.000-07:00

After an exhausting weekend, here it is: breakfast at Café Caramel. We had the Käsefrühstück and were totally pleased with it. Everytime I come here I feel like I was on vacation - this spot is refreshing and relaxing at once..

2011-10-14T13:13:00.000-07:00

From time to time there will be trashy shirts with prints that refer to my everyday life. Places where I have been, things I have done, People I have seen. This is the first one, so it was clear that it wouldn`t be perfect.
I don`t like the shirts collar and the print is much too big.
But hey, this is an experiment! :)

We drove to the North Sea today. Could bombard you with pictures now, but I guess they would look like all the other billion North Sea pics on the web. So I won`t. Besides having a great day I had the great honor to meet lots and lots of dead crabs. My boyfriend thought it would be funny to throw one at me..

Anyway, I will not hold back the following two shots. If you are NOT having dinner right now, get something to eat. It`s really yummy - at least I thought so walking on the beach chowin my sandwich! Yuck!!!

2011-09-24T09:03:00.000-07:00

My best friend asked me to dye her hair. She was inspired by the wonderful Raquel Reed, who looks very beautiful in a bubble-gummy way :D Like it!

2011-09-23T05:30:00.000-07:00

These are a few calling cards I collected at the dawanda designmarket in Berlin. I kept them in my cramped someday-to-be-used box and I decided it`s time to throw them away. I really like their making and I took a few pictures, so that they are easier to remember when I need inspiration for my own card.

2011-09-18T15:12:00.000-07:00

There are two reasons why I haven`t been online here for a while. The first is laziness, the second is me having a concussion. I went skateboarding (on a curve) and fell onto my...whole fuckin body. Everything from my top to toe hurt - wrist, finger, elbow, hip, shoulder, tongue, jaw, neck, knee and last but not least my head. And for the first twenty minutes after my misadventure I couldn`t see. That was the worst of it all..
Now I´m feeling better, but I swear, I`m not going to do the same shit without a helmet. Maybe I should stick to skating flat..

2011-09-07T11:39:00.000-07:00

Have been creative today and made little artworks out of crown caps :D

I went to IKEA and there was this guy on top of that sign. I saw him rapping off a stool. I stayed and watched until he finally climbed down the stack. Guess he`s an electrician, but I`m not sure..Crazy anyway!

#35

2011-08-24T04:42:00.000-07:00

I did it. I bought a wonderful ~~and expensive~~ pullover from the new CIRCUS CIRCUS collection of BLUTSGESCHWISTER.

#34

2011-08-23T04:29:00.000-07:00

I see this truck every day on my way to highschool/university. I like the slogan. "Dem Durst das Beste" means "the best for your thirst". My Interpretation is slightly different "THE BEST FOR DURST" --> the best for the frontman of limp bizkit :o) HELL YEAH!
I shot this pic out of a streetcar window. Reminds me of April Greimans drive-by shootings..

#33

2011-08-22T04:02:00.000-07:00

Went skating at a local self-made skatepark. Gave up after thirty minutes. Weather is too hot!!

#32

2011-08-21T00:55:00.000-07:00

I study communication design and have to make a booklet about April Greiman. She is the "pioneering woman who helped introduce the computer vernacular to design through experimental mergers of type and image". I think her website and artwork is a bit weird and not really esthetic, but somehow I find her work interesting. I`m gonna take pictures of the booklet when it`s finished and printed. May take a while.. ;o)

#31

2011-08-20T00:14:00.000-07:00

This is what I wanted to show you since I started this blog. A drawing on a beer coaster, what a great idea!! I bought this on a design market in Berlin a few weeks ago and now it`s hanging on my pinboard :o) The artist has a slightly crazy dawanda shop called tigapigs, so if you are too lazy to DIY or you lack in drawing skills, you can buy an item there.

#30

2011-08-19T00:06:00.000-07:00

My mom in the 70`s :o) Love that dress.. Reminds me of the clothing brand KLING.

#29

2011-08-18T05:29:00.000-07:00

Currently I´m working on a logo. My logo :o) Thing is: I wanted to have it in this old school comic-way. Unfortunately there already is a soundsystem called "PowPowMovement" which uses exactly the type I wanted to use. Bad luck!
Now I try to follow another way: It should be a bit playful but not to much, so that I have a modern, somewhat grown-up logo. Then it should be easy to recognise, even if it`s small, because I want to make clothing labels someday ;o) It`s so hard to decide..what do YOU think???

2011-08-17T05:15:00.000-07:00

Finally the blossoms say hello this year..

#27

2011-08-16T04:38:00.000-07:00

Yeah! I made QUARK BALLS :o)
They really don`t look delicious in those pictures..but hey, I´m no food photographer ;o)
I recommend you to IMMEDIATELY try out the recipe I wrote down for you. You`ll be delighted!

What you need:
250g FLOUR
250g CURD CHEESE
1/2 teaspoonful of SALT
125g SUGAR
1/2 pack BAKING POWDER
1/2 pack VANILLA SUGAR
2 EGGS

Mix all those ingredients together in a bowl and heat OIL in a pan. Now you have to form small balls ~~or undefinable objects like I did~~ with two spoons and give them into the hot oil. Fry them until they are golden brown. Easy-Peasy :o)

Yesterday Miss Sunshine payed us a short visit. We went on a little side trip with our bikes. Saw beautiful places but forgot to take pictures. Foolish me. Anyway, we had fun.

#24

2011-08-13T00:05:00.000-07:00

Oh. My. God. I don`t know why I love these shoes, they are just so.. flowery! Maybe it`s the sun I am missing here in Germany that gives me the feeling I need something drippy like that. But oh - so sweet :o) I saw them in an ordinary shoestore and couldn`t decide if I would wear those or not. I need new shoes, because my favorite are worn out (also to see in the picture below). My style is rather boyish so I wouldn`t find just one skirt in my closet. What to do? - (For now) I took a picture.

#23

2011-08-12T10:56:00.000-07:00

I spotted myself on legobois.tumblr.com :o)

The following video already circulates on the internet for a few days, but I think it fits perfectly to yesterday`s post, concerning changing perspectives. ;o)

Since I don`t know how to embed an external video, you have to be satisfied with this link.

2011-08-10T00:32:00.000-07:00

Today I received another great present from my friends at snug.
It`s a book about how to look on things differently, especially on those which you think are unimportant. Changing the perspective means being creative.
So far I just run through the pages, but I guess I will show you a few completed exercises some day. :o)

My one-line-drawing for the week..
Had to color it a bit, would have been too confusing otherwise.

#18

2011-08-07T14:01:00.000-07:00

Today I tried to make a shorts. I used the tape-method to get a pattern. It worked quite well but I didn`t figure out how to sew the cuff on the fabric. To cut a long story short: I will sew it again with professional help. In about 10 days I have another sewing lesson. Until then I should have decided if I want to add those pockets you see on the picture below..

2011-08-04T03:55:00.000-07:00

This is a very special blog entry. First, because I didn`t post yesterday. Secondly, because the reason I didn`t post was that I have been in Hamburg to watch the last HARRY POTTER movie.
Some of you may laugh now and I also thought for a long time that HP movies are crap. Years ago I read "HP and the Philosopher's Stone" and afterwards went to the movies and was disappointed, because the book was much deeper. I never again saw a HP movie - until I watched all of them in the last three days and now I´m in a kind of magical fever. If this is a passing disease I don`t know..

Everybody who calls oneself a nerd is going to be bored by this post, but I simply love it so I have to show a few pictures :o). The following are soaps and a shampoo made by the ingenius Chrystal from cleangeeks.com. To order you have to go to digitalsoaps.etsy.com

2011-07-30T02:30:00.000-07:00

As I browsed through the net, I found a blog called A COLLAGE A DAY. Actually the title tells almost everything :) I`m gonna adopt that idea and load up a new one-line-drawing a week. Sounds good? :)

2011-07-29T14:57:00.001-07:00

oh yeah. something looks wrong.

And what are your birthday wishes? :o)

2011-07-25T14:40:00.000-07:00

Oh damn. I have thirty minutes left until the day is over. I wanted to post every day, so I have to do another post than I actually intended. I`ll keep it simple: The following pictures show my beloved boyfriend, who is quite fun! He collects stickers, especially from skateboard companies, he watched STAR WARS like a hundred times and his laptop is his best friend, next to his 26 caps, which he`s wearing rotational. The cap at the bottom is still missing. Would make a good birthday present :o)

Three weeks ago I moved into a new district. The first impression I had was:
Oh my, how many gumball dispensers have they got!?
So I decided to mug them. In the end there weren`t as many as I expected to be. Here you can see a selection of three. A blue one, a red one and an empty one..
That somehow reminds me of the MATRIX :o)

#3

2011-07-22T01:44:00.000-07:00

This is my find of the day.
I have been to a second hand store and between old rags, tattered books and antique furniture I found these cheesy postcards. I guess most of them are older than forty years. At least they smell like that :o)
Time to make new pen pals!

#2

2011-07-21T05:02:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I went skateboarding under a bridge. There was this graffiti piece that reminded me of all the things I wanted to learn. Like painting on walls.

I have grown up in a neighborhood with a lot of street art. It impressed me much - but even though I never seriously started to practice.

So here`s my TO-DO-LIST for this year, maybe it helps me to reach my goals:

spray on wall
skate more often
fill this blog
improve my english
restart rapping
learn to sew

I`m sure the list is going to be enlarged.
I`m less certain about actually fulfilling these points :o)

We`ll see!

2011-07-20T03:43:00.000-07:00

Hey there!

This is my first post and I don`t know where this blog leads to. I`m sorry for any mistakes in my language, since I´m from Germany and English lessons in school date back a while ;o) Thats also one reason, why I start this roll - to improve my vocabulary knowledge! The second reason is that I always wanted to be an author. Unfortunately I´m not persistent enough to write for hours..
My last and third reason arises from the wish to capture situations and conditions, which otherwise would be forgotten over the years.

Here`s a quote from my favorite band Limp Bizkit:
"WAKE UP PEOPLE AND LOOK AT LIFE AROUD YOU"

So long,
Gigglez!
