sketchbook

I started some time ago, to take a sketchbook with me to make some doodles and sketches of people and objects while waiting. I like really like to use the blue and red pencils. They give another feeling while drawing on the paper, compared to the regular pencils.

Thumbs up, thumbs down

I´ve been doing some editorial work in the past year, and this

piece for an article about US rating agencies and the whole

Greece problem for DIE ZEIT is the latest one I did. 

I really love how they worked the illustration into

the layout. I enjoy doing editorial work a lot

because of the snappy deadlines and the

specific connection a drawing has with

the text. You get a call, and a couple

of days and a few calls and emails later

you can see the piece on newsstands all 

across the country. A very satisfying way

to work!

Fragments

Hello dear PA-ers,
it has been a longer time since I came with some drawings.
These are some pictures from my ›work in progress‹ in hells kitchen. At the moment I work around with collages from parts of my pencil drawings which I`ve cutted to pieces before, what looks weird sometimes..

On the other hand I fight with coloured papers I rip off walls in the street, what came to some rather abstract results.



Finally I try to combine these. This is, due to the different materials, difficult.
But I keep on trying and bring more details to our blogg soon.
Hope to see and hear from you soon.
Best IB

Portraits & New Work

Some of the things on which I'm working this year. This is one of the originals for the monsters book, that are probably gonna be exhibited in Hamburg at the invitation of GUI-GUI end of the year.



The portrait is the first in a new series of drawings about imaginary beeings, some kind of 'fantasy' portraits if you like.


I'd like to make an exhibition next year in my native East Belgian city Eupen, although time is very short. I hope it's gonna be possible.

It is ink drawings with an acrylic 'wash' - watercolor painting.

Cheers, Boris Servais

THE INIMITABLE DICKENS

This year 2012 the world of literature is celebrating the great english novelist, Charles Dickens' 200th birthday. Although it is February for me it will take the whole year to comment all the interesting news about this inimitable person. "Drood" written by Dan Simmons seems for me a book worth reading. In his novel  life and work of Dickens are woven together very well.

Greetings,

C.Pom

THE INIMITABLE

This time I´d like to ask you all a little quiz question. The lady on the picture shows us a quotation. "A day wasted on others is not wasted on one's self." Please guess to whom those words belong.-

In a few days I will tell you the person´s name.

Greetings

Belletristik

I illustrated a poem for the Berlin-based Belletristik Magazin. They have a lot of talented and interesting artists working on each issue - among them our very own Dieter Jüdt! - so I was honored to participate.

As you can see the special orange color they used has quite a lot of punch!

Good-for-Nothing

Eichendorff one of the famous german poets of the Romantic wrote 1822/23 the novella "Life of a good-for-nothing". The poems contained in his narrative poem have been melodized by Robert and Clara Schumann. As German hiking songs they 

became world-famous.

These illustrations belong to my contribution for the next produced limited edition of the 000x magazine 0020.

Melk & sneeuw

Wearing my Finnish striped Marimekko T-shirt, I could touch my printed comic book last Friday ! :)

Melk & sneeuw tells a story about Finland and about unpossible love.

I'm very glad with the result. Especially with the better lay-out of the book. Thank's to Dieter Jüdt for the help and tips he gave concerning the lay-out and also to encourage me to keep looking for a publisher! :)

EDO - artist book

"Artists' books create liminal spaces that uncover new 

relations between, for instance, the private and the public, the aesthetic and the political, the gift and the commodity."

(One sentence from the ABoT Contest Call)

Therefore I felt to be called upon to create something special, 

as a reaction to the current political issue in the spring of 2011.

It was also shown at the Frankfurt Book Fair this year.

Wolke Über Hanami

My dear friends and collegues,

it is really quite a while since I posted something in our blog, especially because I started using the computer more and more for my artwork. With the bookfair comming up, I thought I could contribute some pictures of the work that I have done for our collective.

This here is my work for the WOLKE ÜBER HANAMI project. As You may notice, the drawings are digitaly done for the most parts. Using a graphic tablet. Quite a changeover in my workingprincibles. But I really dig it now. Coolbeans.

Happy to see all of You at the bookfair!
