Art class of DOOM
Today I'm going to tell you a story from my days at collage, but first progression of new Illu
Once upon a time I studied Architecture
There I found a lot of imposing rulers
The teachers all had fur, and their convictions had a clear tilt towards the radical.
Some hot chicks.
Here I learned: To drink wine
I got a new set of vocabulary
To over emphasize my lines
That all shadows are not created equal
That the strange gray contraption, was for sharpening your pencils
Pencil after sharpening
But we also was thought something more important, and that we found in the ART CLASS OF DOOM.
In this class we where meant to learn water color painting, our teacher wouldn't exactly levitate but you didn't here her when she came. She was a rather imposing woman both in height and weight. When you where painting she would float by and in a very monotone voice say:
"now you have killed it", (Nu har du dödat den) meaning you had added to muchcolorr, and you could throw it away.
Even today when I paint I hear her mantra, "now you've killed it", ringing in my ears, and making painting almost impossible.

Great narration! The "hot chick" gag is great!
ReplyDeleteThese are so good, where to start? I love the drawing of the hairy teacher and the pencil sharpener! Gosh, what a formidable woman she sounds, enough to scare anyone!
ReplyDeleteThe illo is wonderful too, so much movement with those flying animals, and great details in the windows!
Oh, and the disappearing hair - nice touch ;)!
ReplyDeleteThanks Valko, and yes Felicity she was and is (I hope a) formidable woman.
ReplyDeleteOh crap --having awkward flashback to my own student days!! ARRRGH!!
ReplyDeletevery funny little tale -- amazing how many people who's job it should be to teach and inspire instead abuse their power to crush, destroy and snuff out the craetive flame... funny, only my female teachers were hairy...?
She had a point though, it pretty sums up what happens when you put on to much pigment. I always been very insecure when it comes to color, it might be because I have a little fling of Daltonism,
ReplyDeleteAi, that's almost sad. :P
ReplyDeleteI love this little story, it's absolutely great. :)
bytheway. stupid woman. arrh.
I don't know if she was stupid Muffin, later in life I had a lot of rather dull teachers, one thing I'll give her she wasn't bleak :o)
ReplyDeleteHA ! HA !! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteHa Ha Ha... That's a very encouraging story.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the huge amount of great sketches is still amazing.
I can't stop repeating myself "this guy is crazy" when i see your drawings of buildings.
ReplyDeleteAnd the story about studying!
You are really funny, the mechanic pencil sharpened made me laugh the most.
You have a beautiful way to show how you feel through your drawings.
Great, keep it up!
Great illustration and I can totally relate to the story.
ReplyDeleteThanks all and don't stop relating!
ReplyDeletei love your sketches, you have a very funny and original way of looking at the world. the square about the good & bad way to sketch was great, and so true...

Thanks Rachel, I switched to graphic design after two years, can't really call myself an architect
