Sunday

So! This is how my room looks now! I just cleaned it completely today, vaccumed and washed the floors.
Yup, not kidding. Even the other side of the room is also clean. Remeber how much stuff was laying here in the last post?
And here's me, sitting at McDonalds. Oh yes, McDonalds really bring the happiness, when no one else can. Happy happy happy.
And here, 2 pictures of my distress over my flat tire. See those yellow patches? Those are fabric underneath the tire, "kevlar", i suppose (it's what underneath i think, also used for bullet proof vests). That means that my tire is now officially dead. Good bye tire, old friend("tire" betyer forresten "dæk"). The happy days are over(untill i went to McDonalds later today).


Besides this, i moved a piano today. I got out of bed, cleaned, washed, and went outside to do stuff, and was imediatly(spelling?) pulled into a car to help some people called Troels and Gry(i know them) move a piano into a theater. MAN pianos are heavy! And this one was even a small one. Went without trouble though.

Oh yeah, for future reference, i will now give you somewhat of a nametree. A discription of some of the people i mention now and then.

Jeppe(thats me)

Israel & Monty: They're both 2nd year students at the Animation Workshop here, and very good friends of mine. Israel is Mexican, and some of you've met him already, he's a very sweet guy, and was with me in the drawingschool in my first year. Monty was also hanging around back then, but i only really got to know him properly in the summer this year, where we had to share a bed for 2 weeks(NO i didn't turn gay, neither did he(as far as i know)), at a one-week drawingcourse we were helping out at.

Maria: Maria is one of the 2 teachers i had the first part of last semester(from january 2006). She's also sort of my neighbour(nabo).
Iben: The other of teacher of the 2. Iben and Maria both were at the drawing school many years ago, and have been in Russia several times, together and separetely, drawing with Boris (like i did). Iben is Married(i believe. They're together at least) to Troels, and they have the 2 kids, Birk(err...around 2 years i think) and Lauge(also boy, 2 weeks).

Artëm: My teacher/something. The guy i had my first semester, who sendt me to russia, and who finished my second semester. And who's teaching me to paint. Unfortunately, none of you have had a long impression of him, some met him very shortly. Artëm(his name's pronounced "ARrtjuOm") was also taught by Boris in Russia. Artëm is the "professer" at the school. He's together with a girl named Ellen(who insists on being on my blog, and recently adopted me as a little brother. Aparently.), who's a singer. She was in the drawingschool, and started at the Animation Workshop, but dropped out due to a pelvis(hofteskål) injuree.

Gry: Gry is the leader of the Drawing School, my new boss, and the sister of Iben(see above).
Randy & Mette Tange: 2 of the girls i know the best here, also good friends. Mette Tange is also 2nd year at the Animation Workshop, and Randy is 3rd year. Don't think anyone met these 2 yet.

That should cover that then. Please tell me if there's something you don't understand!
Untill next time then. Nothing more happening today, and now i'm gonna go and watch TV series on my computer, and eat serial(ske-morgenmad).

I'm still alive. Don't wory.

I'm still here. I've just been very lazy, for SO long, and didn't upload anything. Here we go.

Yesterday, I was looking at all of my paintings done so far, with Artëm. We were both very pleased, i'm doing very good with colors. I have sort of entered a period, where i'm getting to perfectionistic (can you say that?), and trying to much to better than i did the last time. This is very normal, i'm well aware of it myself, and can remember periods like this from when i'm drawing a lot. It's no problem, it well change. What it means is, that i try to much to make the picture look really good and welldone. And when that happens, i'll usually bury(begrave) myself in a detail or two in the picture, and neglect( ikke give opmærksomhed til) the bigger picture.

I also went shopping with Artëm yesterday, we bought 2 sofas in cadmium orange, which is a very screaming orange color. Like the orange on an ambulance, fx. They are to be used inhis new studio (i'll post pictures of it soon), which, in effect, will sort of be MY studio, the 4 months he's not here next semester. It's gonna be a really swell (brandgodt) place.

So anyway, here's 3 pictures of all my.. pictures. Then you can see them in comparison, and get a feeling of the sizes. The one of the naked boy, in the right lower corner, is my favourite model studie. Also my first. Artëm was very happy with the one in the left corner, of the girl.

And here's the other side. The big blue one, that's my "masterpiece" so to speak. The one that i've had most trouble with, and i've "done" most things with. It's given me a lot of thought, and monday i'll try to finish it. I've been working so long on it now. The one with all the pink is, i think, the first still life i did, the first painting at all actually. With a lot of help from Artëm, that turned out really good actually.

And lastly: it's true, that i've had some gloomy, dark days lately, and this is what the general impression of my room was: messy. As can be seen on the pciture (the rest looked even worse). So i cleaned up! And it looks much better now (you can actually see the floor now). Didn't manage to was the floor though, but i will. Also, i wanted to fix my bike. it's been flat for some time now. So, Artëm came by one night (Artëm artëm artëm artëm i know, i know, i'll get some more friends soon), i told him i wanted to patch(lappe) it, and he started laughing. Turns out, my actual tire is worn down, from all the breaking i've done on my bike, and it's been worn all the way through the rubber. Theres some fabric underneath the rubber, but the tire is absolutely broke. So i have to by a new one. Great...

In the end, here they are, all they works. Enjoy!

I now i haven't been home for a long time now, but i will be home sometime near december, maybe not untill the beginning of december (my father nturns 114 years old the 9th. of december. Yes he doesn't like it, but he's getting old), so i'll definately be home then. Maybe before. And, i'll be home around christmas, although not in good time! The course stops the 22nd of december, so i'll only JUST have time to come home! And that also means, everyone, PLEASE send me your notes of christmas present needs now, so i can start getting even more poor than i am. 'Cus i haven't got time to buy presents in copenhagen!

Thats all for now. I'll try to update on the exciting subjects like my flat tire, and the new studio(oh! "studeo" means the place to paint, by the way, NOT the place to play music!) soon.

Untill then, take care everyone. Jeppe
