tomillu: maxima magazine 06/13 “zuviel soda.” by mickey kaltenstein. Die Lichter sind aus, der Fotograf füllt seine Technik wieder in Taschen und das Model kommt zu mir. Äh, an die Kaffeemaschine. Hi, ich bin Paula. Ah, hallo. Irgendetwas stimmt hier nicht. Irgendwas ist hier faul. Mein System läuft auf Hochtouren. Wo ist der Fehler im Suchbild versteckt? Was ist hier verkehrt? Die Fassade einwandfrei. Alle Augenschatten kaschiert, die Wangenknochen betont, das Dekolletee kunstvoll ergänzt. Tutto completto. Aber dann schau ich nochmals tief in diese Augen. Abseits vom Fotolicht sind sie trüb und seltsam leer. Schauen mich traurig an, wie ein eingesperrtes Tier. Jetzt sehe ich das üppige Make-up, die zu dicke Puderschicht. Die Illusion von Perfektion gelingt eben nur mit Mindestabstand. Und in genau diesem Moment begreife ich endlich, was ich seit Jahren falsch mache: Ich bin einfach zu dicht dran an mir. Ich brauche mehr Distanz zwischen mir und dem Spiegel.

paperalligator: After playing with a Cintiq at Stumptown Comics Fest, I got hugely tempted to invest in one or something like it. Despite lots of hemming and hawwing (the mister’s take: ‘it’s a business expense! invest in the best one you can!’), I opted to invest in a Yiynova MSP19U. In a few weeks I’ll try and give a review once I have really gotten to terms with it, but tentatively now that the buyer’s guilt has worn off? I love it. I think it’ll speed up my process, loosen up my arm, encourage me to do daily morning warmup sketches and help push the collage aesthetic I’ve been drawn towards lately. I will be very curious once I’m working with my analog process how things work out too. More to come! Would daily sketches on the Tumblr be something you might like to see? I don’t want to clog things with doodles, but it’s fun to show some process and keeps me accountable…
