Wenn die Osterdekoration im ersten Bezirk zum Schaufensterflanieren einlädt...

A few weeks before easter Viennas first district  windows are filled with chocolate eggs, nougatbunnies, marzipan carrots and much more.

Vienna Sausage Dog

The Vienna Sausage Dog looks like a sausage and eats a lot of sausages, hence his specific name.

"Vi apolodschaiz for dsi inkonvinienc. Senk yu!"

Die Lautsprecherdurchsage in der U-Bahn in Englisch war schwer zu verstehen.

Dem Ausländeranteil in Ösiland zufolge sollte sie in Piefkinesisch, Serbisch oder Türkisch erfolgen.

Nichteinmal der Wiener Wursthund hatte den Durchblick!

It´s Pasta Time!

This is the first drawing in my new sketchbook - a rather expensive one, the paper has a special quality, it's called Ivory. Gwendolin eating Spaghetti.

Gitterbetten und Glücksbambus

Cribs and lucky bamboo... scribbly drawings I found in a sketchbook after some years

It has something to do with a cage for babies, the bars remind me of that. And the lucky bamboo looks like a twisted bar after someone escaped. 

Many greetings from Vienna, Gloriette (self-made postcard series)

Now, that I take photos during my walks, I will sort out some that look like picture postcards. So you can print them and send them to your friends, pretending you have been there ;)

Vienna Friday Walk

I passed by a place where they were going to build another ugly big new house. There was a graffiti on the wall saying:
Here will be a beautiful park where children play, people look at the sky and trees whisper in the wind. A park that is missing here. Thank you!

It really would be nice to have a park there instead of one more ugly building...

Yesterday I saw many homeless people and beggars, one was looking in the glass bin for something.

And here below handcuffs graffiti,
I liked that one, too.

somehow I have the feeling that skulls and pirates never get out of fashion, little boys love that

Stop sitting on that bloody sofa watching TV! Lithography

Vienna Stills, what I see during a little walk in the city

The only window in that wall, who may be the privileged person living there?

Old houses with new windows

a coffee machine called Vienna Deluxe

Lindwurm Apotheke -  a pharmacy called lindworm , a dragon without wings

and Café Scorpion...

an old MILK sign, they used to sell milk here long ago

auf der Schmelz, a place in Vienna with a bit of country

Horse carriages at St. Stephen´s, Vienna pencil drawings / Fiaker und ihre Pferde, Geschichte vom Stephansplatz

Gestern am Stephansplatz traf ich auf die Fiaker, wie sie bei ihren Pferden herumstanden und redeten.

Als ich anfing zu Zeichnen wurden sie neugierig und kamen herbei.

Eine Fiakerin schaute zu meinen Zeichnungen, die anderen fragten sie: "Was macht sie da? Stenografieren?" - "Ja, genau, ich schreibe alles mit was ihr da spricht! " war meine Antwort.

Einer fing an mit mir zu reden während ich versuchte sein Gesicht einzufangen, aber das Gespräch war zu kurz, deshalb wurde die Zeichnung nicht fertig - über Schokobananen, vergiftetes Essen und sauren Regen.

Ich mag den Wiener Schmäh den sie draufhaben, die Fiaker.

Und noch ein paar Skizzen ihrer Pferde...

Begonnene Skizze, nicht vollendet.

My last autumn, pictures of the countryside

There was a shadow on the wall, it looked like a drawing so fine, now on the photo it could be an ink painting...
