Misheard Nouns

I've actually had this conversation more than once. I need to work on my enunciation.

Friday Sketchpost: Petra Zlatevska @ Creative Mornings Berlin, 9.10.2015

  

In keeping with this week's theme of culture shock on the blog, here are some notes I took during Petra Zlatevska's talk at last week's monthly Creative Mornings Berlin meetup, hosted by Factory Berlin. Happy Friday!

Home Is Where The Culture Shock Is

True story: I jaywalk less in other countries since moving to Germany. People are like, "there's no cars!" and I'm like "but --"

Two announcements! Firstly, for those of you in Berlin who have been wanting to make comics, I am teaching a workshop on October 24 down on the hallowed grounds of Neukölln's Raum b café. (See that, I just made a coffee pun.) Signups are here. Come hang out!

Secondly, November approaches and with it comes my own personal con season. I will be tabling at the Thought Bubble comic festival in Leeds and am highly looking forward to returning!
I am also dilingently working on a couple new things to bring out for you, and these are going to cost some money on top of the travel and lodging. As I am currently 100% self-employed (huzzah!), the expense is a bit daunting - but you can help make it happen by donating to the Traveling Tip Jar or by pledging to my Patreon campaign. Every little bit truly helps.

Also, the first five people who donate $25 to the Tip Jar get a B/W digital portrait of themselves. Want to look like this? For a limited time only, you can.

Friday Sketchpost: La Cordée (Liberté), Lyon

As depicted in this week's comic, I had the good fortune of visiting a branch of La Cordée, Lyon's network of coworking spaces. If I'd had time, I would have stayed and drawn the place for hours. Here is what I had time for. If you are a freelancer or remote worker traveling through Lyon (or Paris, or Annecy, or even... Villefranche and Morez??), I highly recommend stopping by.

Friday Sketchpost: Kamingespräch at ESCP Europe

Last week I attended a "Kamingespräch" (or "fireside chat"*) organized by the ESCP Europe business school in Berlin-Charlottenburg. The ESCP and their participants let me draw their faces and take a couple notes during the event, which I present to you below. Happy Friday!

I have very patient friends, bless them. (Also, did I mention I've seen Fury Road three times this summer? Best 26€ I ever spent.)

Clairikine Hits Lyon - Part 1 of 4

Hey folks! For the next month I will be posting pages from my new travel comic Clairikine Hits Lyon, which I drew during my week-long visit back in August. A new instalment will be posted every week. Enjoy!

I don't always go a week without Internet at the house, but when I do, I flip my lid.

Remember this drawing about the woods? It is now a postcard that is available in my Bigcartel store! Along with many fine comics.

Also - do you live in Berlin? Want to get pointers on making your own comic? Want to chill in a fine Neukölln location while doing so? Then I cordially invite you to my next comics workshop (in English!) on Saturday, October 24 at raum B. Let's make comics together!
