The “Wicked” Wilson Pickett
It always amazed me that even through highest repressions black musicians where always able to change the history of music .
This portrait of Wilson Pickett was made with Sharpies on acrylic paint.
Hand Lettering
It happens a lot when I work with startups that I stumble over the same few fonts that come with computers since the last 20 years. There is nothing to say against the use of timeless fonts like the Helvetica or the Microsoft clone Arial, but it’s mostly the less tasteful alternatives that hurt my eyes. Especially if something needs to look handwritten or hand painted it gets ugly.
A Dog Named Apple
Sometimes things turn out better than you think: I struggled with this one for months. I wasn’t sure which way to go for a dog portrait. I like dogs but I find it rather difficult to draw them. And too many times it happened ending up with a cheesy looking furball or something else on my paper. So I decided to reduce it to black and white this time. This is for Suzi who for helping me out big times. Thank you!
Especially me working in the field of intellectual property, design and graphics I really recommend Suzi’s service: http://www.ecolawgical.com/
Ink Saving Infant Feeding Protocol Utilizing Ruled Filler Paper
I wasn’t sure if this blog is the right place to post this, but on the other hand: It’s my blog, so I guess I can post what I want. So to all new parents, this is what my wife and me came up to keep the numbers in one place.
This PDF is a easy way to print you own infant feeding protocol by utilizing ruled paper. You can buy sheets of filler paper for cheap and load it into your printer. The PDF will just add a few lines and words. Since it’s very useful to keep track of your babies eating and diaper habits we found this a very easy way to print a dozen and keep it in a binder. One sheet a day let’s you write the time, diapers and feeding plus comments (e.g. extra meds or juice), and a total at the bottom.

Goodbye Mr. Brubeck
This is really a sad day. Dave Brubeck died. There are not many people who where that productive during their lifetime. A best of the Dave Brubeck Quartet was my first jazz record. Since then I can’t remember of any musical device not having at least one Brubeck tune on it.

Gnorts Mr Neil!
Artwork/Illustration Portrait of Neil Armstrong, American astronaut and the first person to walk on the Moon. Gnorts Mr. Alien!
A few days have passed since Neil Armstrong left this planet forever. For me and millions of other people he was the first man on the moon. For some not – who cares. This portrait was drawn with ink on paper with some watercolor.
You can buy this sketch on shirts and lots of other things in Artmoto’s online shop.
