Wrangel Strasse, Berlin.
My memories from Berlin are starting to fade away. I cant believe its nearly two years since I dragged my red suitcase from Schonefeld to Kreuzberg. Two years since that brilliant sunny saturday when I took the photo I used for this drawing.

Berlin made me feel at ease, at home, like an old friend that offers a sofa for you to crash.

I miss the smell of it.


Sunday - Bloc Party
Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) - Arcade Fire

I met a simple blackbird, who was happy as can be, he laughed insane and he quipped "Kahlil Gibran"

You did manage to evoke a feeling of nostalgia-tinted sincere joy here. It's lovely.

If I'm allowed to nitpick, the way you've drawn the hand right next to the tree makes the perspective a little harder to read.

Thanks!

Yes, my notions of perspective are very limited. Just imagine you're drunk.

The perspective is perfectly fine. It would just have been a little clearer if the hand didn't look like it were resting on the tree top. ;p
