Sketches from Jena, Germany
Here are several sketches made in Jena, a university city in eastern Germany.
The panoramic view from the top of the Jen-Tower is especially exciting. You can see all the city and the very beautiful landscape!

Sketches from Amsterdam
Some quick sketches from my notebook, made during several days staying in Amsterdam this summer. Surely, plenty places to visit! I really liked Artis and Scheepvaart Museum.
Bloemenmarkt, a very nice place with pretty cafes for early breakfast.
This is fun! Biking through the city and drinking beer at the same time. But they have a gid! So, hopefully, nothing dangerous will happen.

Drawings from Tenerife
Recent drawings and sketches made during the trip to Tenerife island, spotting beach activities, undersea and Christmas evening (as it was in December :-)). Some drawings had been finished when being already back home.
That's an amazing island where you can see very different climate areas. If you are there, that's really nice to take a day excursion to see the whole island and how palms and bananas trees are changing to pine trees and moss. And when driving upwards on the mountains you can see clouds on your eye level!

Japanese calligraphy
Recently I've finished the course of Japanese calligraphy at Shofukan centrum in Rotterdam and this is my final work.
The hieroglyphic symbol on this work means "beauty".
The colofon and the stamp are made by our instructor of calligraphy, Owen Tjon Sie Fat.

Ink drawings
Some recent drawings made with black East-Indian ink.
I tried to experiment and combine abstract ink lines with watercolors and quite realistic ink drawing with spattering texture of ink.

Sport illustrations
Recent illustrations, which I've made using black Indian ink. Really enjoyed the medium, which allows to create a stronger sence of movement and other effects as well.
The illustrations have been made for "The Game Of The Goose" for the publication in the Runner's World Magazine in the January issue.
