Yep, more skulls. And wings. New stamps :P

We take part in a 10km-run in Neumünster, the Holstenköstenlauf. That was the first time since approx. 4 weeks that I had really fun while running, and I didn't feel floppy. Nice event!

quote says: The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." –rudyard kipling

watercolor exercise

Since a few years I had the feeling that the paper's quality of the Moleskine Pocket diary became worse and worse. So I ripped out a sheet of my first pocket diary and made the comparison: Moleskine Pocket diary 2001 and 2014. (Please note: normally this is really really forbidden! Never ripe out a sheet of your sketchbook or diary! Outrage!)

At the first sight the differences don't seem to be very big. But when I look at the details I see: I'm right. The paper's fiber is getting destructed more fast in the newer Moleskine - you can see it in the paper's surface after treating with watercolor. But this is not the most annoying thing. Please have a look at the red watercolor dot above the two lines on the bottom of the spread. On the left side (2001) the borders are rather sharp. On the right side (2014) the borders are blurred, because the color is bleeding. The sme with the blue copic lines (Copic B24): The lines on the 2014 page have got some kind of shadows from the bled color. Colors are creeping inside the paper, so it's more difficult to draw some vibrant pictures with clear borders.

Pity! I really love those Moleskine pocket diaries, because they've got the best calendar design for me. But I wish the paper's quality will be improved one day. Moleskine, please let me know.
