Different chillout.

So here is a little drawing i did in my sketchbook, of nothing.And here is Monty, thinking he made a funny drawing. We were chilling at Israels place, drinking milk and eating chocolate, and drawing. Very cosy and relaxing.
And here we have Israel showing of his geeky(nørdet) t-shirt. We're at the Italian restaurant, and we ate food and today he's feeling sick to his stomach... go figure.
And here Monty is doing some work on the computer, and is showing me.
And fianlly, Israel and Randi in the bed.
Thats all for tonight folks. See you later.

Making 50 burgers.

So, Israel decided he wanted a burger. And, he thought, why not invite one or two of the guys from the class? Well, before Israel had looked around, he promised the whole class he would make burgers for them. 50 burgers, in fact (2 for each person). So, i realized this is where i had to come to the rescue. Which i did, and we went shopping for 13 packs of minced beef(hakket oksekød), burger breads and everything that we needed. And then we fried....50-60(some were eaten in the process) burger steaks, cut the salat, tomatoes, cucumber, bread in the oven, and all that jazz. I think it took us around 2½ hours of work. But it all payed off, and everyone was very happy for the burgers and we became heroes. So here are the pictures.
Monty also helped out (when he wasn't goofing around)(goofing around=fjolle rundt), or dancing. Thank you very much Monty.
Mette was in charge of the entertainment, which she did a very good job of! We certainly laughed a lot.
And here i am, playing the concerned part of the opperation.
And Israel is preparing the fries in the oven.

And everyone ate their burgers, and everything turned out well.

Artëms place featuring Jeppe

Yo everyone. So, Artëm is gone, and me and Ellen are greedily sharing his place. Me for painting and washing clothes, and Ellen for living, watching movies and something other stuff. Anyway, here is the beginning of this painting i'm doing. I did alot more by now, but i didn't take a pcture of it, you'll see it later. Anyway... more pictures to look at.

Also, notice all the fruit in the foreground? Look who's healthy. And try NOT to notice the bottle of chocolatemilk standing there also. And IF you notice it, try to notice that i's NOT empty yet!








Here is me, or rather, my hand, drawing. A little research for a painting. It's VERY hard for me to translate from the drawing to the painting, when i'm trying to do really nice bodyparts. So maybe i just should'nt do them. Hm.










Here is some of Artëms work. The 2 on the wall, i'm sure he won't sell (and if he will, he'll take some redicously high price, just to annoy you), but the big one on the floor i'm sure he'd like to sell! I might even be able to get a discount for you, but then again, none of you would have money for it even with the discount. Too bad. Did i mention i once got a painting from him for free? No? Well i did.












This is more of Artëms home. You're looking at the "window" in the wall between the main room and the kitchen. It's like a bar that you can eat from. Or have to, at least, since there's no other kitchen table. But this is very nice though.










And this is not such a good picture, the light is really bad. The good thing about Artëms studio though is, that it's a gigantic room (and me and Artëm both have very big egos, so that's very fitting for when we're painting), and it has such a beatifull light now when it's winter and snow. Everything is so clear inside, and we painted everything white, so the light reflects on everything and makes you happy. Even when Artëm is there, angry, sad, mad, kicking at everything and yelling "FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!" you're still happy.



And this is the other end of the room. There is a wheelchair to sit in, a gigantic mirror for Artëms gigantic...ego, and also so you can see who's comming before they come. Just LOOK at the light! So nice and blue.











And lastly, here's the close up of one of the paintings i'm doing. Not very far though, and it's not going to well, but screw it(skide være med det). In the background, you can see these 2 orange couches that me and Artëm found for his room. And in the window, there's a blut kimono (japansk kåbe) haning. Some will reconize it from one of my paintings.



Anyway, that's all from Artëms room, where i've been painting this week. If any of you should like to purchase any of his paintings, please write me, and i will fix the deal (that might give me a little of the deal) for you!

See you.

Artem left.

These are pictures from Artem's goodbye-party.
He left for the Reunion Island, which is somewhere of the southcost of africa ( i think). It's a french island, where there is an animation school that he's teaching at.
Here is him, left, and Svend, right, who is one of the locals here at the school. He works as something at the school...















And Israel, caught unaware. Also at the party, where me and him went. Well, not much to say here i suppose. We're at the party, and this is Israel. Party, Israel. Israel, party.



















And another picture from the party, nothing much.











The day after the party, Artëm had to leave at 9 o clock. So i went to him in the morning, just to say goodbye, and it was just me, him and Ellen, very cosy. They were both a little tired from the party the day before, and i was QUITE tired and had to teach the same day. And Artem found an old drawing i made for himin my first semester. He saved it all the time from back then. That made me (a little) soft in the heart. Just a little.

Snow and Mexico.


Hello everyone! This s everyone's favourite Mexican (thos that met him will be nodding in agreement now "yes that's true, i really agree")

Me and him whent to Bilka this day (just on other side of McDonalds). We're both looking for a TV. I have a DVD-player but no TV, so if any of you have a TV you don't need, save it somewhere untill i come home!

The trip was funny and exciting, and we really enjoyed it. Bilka is great.









And here, Irael is almost attacking me with a snowball. Because we had a snowstorm you see, so everything was white.

















This is the roof, looking out of my window. This is the same time the storm was. All of the sudden, we just had snow. No warning what so ever.










How can you NOT love Viborg when this is the view (udsigt) you wake up to, in the morning?














This one is also during the snowstorm in the middle of the night. This is the view from my bedroom, of the ugly, nasty, fucked up kollegie-bygning. This is where many of the students live. It's snowing.

Teaching the new calss. What everybody was waiting for.

So yes, i started teaching. And i'm damn good at it, if i have to say so myself. Certainly, there are some flaws here and there, and i may say some strange stuff also, but i think i'm doing good. Unfortunately, i don't have very many pictures of the class, but i'm spending all my time teaching, and i don't have time to take pictures in the middle of everything.

I have a class of 23 people, and not many have been drawing before. There are a few guys who was there last semester, but not many, so it's all up to me. Well, mostly, sine monday, 2 days from now, Mads Peter is comming. Mads Peter is an old student like me, and went to russia before me and is, well, excellent at drawing.
The class consists only of danish people, no foreign people, so i'm talking danish, which is very hard for me, but not impossible. So far i had them 2 weeks, and this week they had a guy called Lawrence, for perspective. I've had a lot of help from Gry my boss basically, help with different stuff i need to watch out for (we have to keep track of who is there and when, and who's not), with paychecks and loads of stuff. But teaching, i'm doing that on my own.

Oh, yes, and i had many advices and words from Artëm, and he gave me tea also sometimes.

So, on top is the picture of us going through drawings, and it's a break, and below a close up of someone's drawing( i don't even know all the names yet...)
So, teaching is realy good for me. I feel like a champion when teaching, and i'm full of energy when the day is done. Teaching is fun, tralala. I will see about posting some details later maybe, but, to be honest, none of you know anything about drawing, so maybe there won't be that many details again...

Reporting home.

Hi everybody! Missed me? I'm sure you did. You certainly haven't seen me for quite a while. Anyway, don't check the blog too often, maybe 2 or 3 times a month at the most, because i don't want to update very often. Anyway, here's the first of 2-4 posts. This one is about my room and my redecorating. I put up a portrait Artëm did of me in my first semester, and next to it, my brother will be happy too see that i finally put up all those Georg Jensen clocks and what-nots(dimser) that he gave me... I found a hammer in my room, and loads of nails, so i've been in a putting things on my wall-mood(humør) lately. I love putting nails in the wall.

Also, i found this mirror in the hallway. It's almost as tall as me, and very good for, hrm, øhm, learning the different muscles, and, ehm, bones and...er...stuff. Also, i've put up a few of my drawings from Russia. The lady on the wall (NOT the one on the calender with big breasts, mind you) is from russia. Also, i decided to get a table for my room, and remove my small chair and table with my computer on, so i'll get a little more space. Anyway, it will make sense once i do it and show you.
So, here is a picture of me very tired. That day, i had such a red eye, red as blood. I don't know what caused it, maybe dust. Since then, i cleaned all my clothes, i had to wash 8 times to get through everything. Then i cleand up my room, vacumed my room, and washed the floor. And changed my matress. Then, recently Monty moved in again (untill the 1. of feb.), so now it will get dirty again...
And lastly, this is me again. I'm seriously thinking of going bald again, my hair is annoying, but we'll see. I don't really feel like doing it yet.

Happy newyear.

Hi everyone! Back again in the new year. So, this is my first post in the new year, containing a little bit different stuff.

First, let me say that i had a very wonderfull newyears party. I was at Lundø, which is a place just outside of Viborg, where many people from the school was. Well, dinner and everything was nice, and in the middle of the dinner, Troels (please refer to previous post to identify him) came running into the dinnerroom, where all 25 of us were eating, completely naked, shouting, that we had to go out and into the water. Well all right, why not, it turns out, that they have a "friluftsbad" or something, which is a giant bathtub outside, with an oven attached to it, with room for around 10 people. So, 10 of us hurried out of the door, at the same time dropping all of our clothes, and got in the bathtub, where we spend the next 2 hours, and also that's where we i entered the new year!

Here are some pcitures i took with a fantastic camera. First, here's Ellen, reading a book. Even though it might now show on the picture, Ellen is actually a very small person, only around... well, at least 1½ head smaller than me.


And here I am with all my selfportraits. They were all given away (except the selfportrait. if anyone wants that, please let me know), and in the following order. from the left: for Kristoffer(my brother), for Marie(my bonus sister), for Poul&Marianne (father and fathers wife), and for Bine (my mother). I did them all in around 2 hours per portrait.

And here me and Serin, having formed a hip-hop group, that never really became anything, since Sering left for turkey (which is where she lives). It's me on the left, by the way.
And here is Artëm, having just discovered something very interesting (i suppose.. he looks like it). Take on the last day of the Drawing School, 2nd semester 2006
And here is Jeppe, drawing, in Artëms room. Also on the last day.

Well, should have been one more picture, but it won't show. No matter.

Anyway, monday i'm starting the drawingschool, getting very excited now. Will write again soon.

Thanks to Jo for lending me the camera. I'll miss you and Serin very much.
