Im Buchstabenmuseum



The Museum of Letters is a Berlin institution dedicated to collecting and preserving letters. Some of them are vintage advert letterings, other letters belonged to old train stations that were renamed after the Berlin wall fell and thus became obsolete.
They were in the middle of renovating when i was visiting, so signs were being carried around and rows of letters were stacked against the walls. I really liked how the letters looked in piles and stacks, like a threedimensional collage- very nice for drawing.

Berlin


I very much enjoyed meeting fellow sketchers in Berlin! After Lapin´s exhibition opening we had dinner and drinks in Friedrichshain and on Sunday Urban Sketchers Berlin organised a Sketchcrawl at the HumboldtBox, which apart from great company offered nice views of Berliner Dom and Unter den Linden. It got a little cold on the terrace, so i drew the colourful rikscha that was part of a seemingly random exhibition inside. A grumpy guard told me to not use my watrecolours, so Katrin and me had to finish colours at home.

His limbs stopped flailing and he looked at me, as if he knew i was drawing him.
Gave the drawing to his parents as a present.
