Doodles from a fashion-magazine. Great to do that again!:)

It's a thrill to see yourself draw (!), but the whole process of recording is too elaborate for my taste. It actually gives me an uncomfortable feeling. So here's my last video...

One day I'll fly away

While still thinking of 'La Dame aux Camelias' I set out yesterday to go and watch 'Moulin Rouge' for the first time. I've read it's partly inspired by the book. Or if you ask me a great deal. I was very delighted to discover that Satine (Nicole Kidman) sings 'One day I'll fly away'. This song (which is in fact one of my all-time favourites) makes for me the movie especially valuable. Here's a memorysketch I just made of Satine and some musical scribbles of the song. Somehow for me it was extremely difficult to figure out which exact chords to use. The melody is somewhat melancholy and eery at the same time. It allowed me to put in many dissonants, and I always like that.

LA DAME AUX CAMÉLIAS

Today I read the whole book of 'La Dame aux Camélias', also known as 'Camille'. It doesn't happen to me often that I'm 'sucked' into the story. Instead of drawing all day -which was my intention in the first place- I was transported to the world of 19th century Paris. And in the end I just sobbed tears while reading the heartbreaking story of the love-affair between Marguerite Gautier and Armand Duval.
Perhaps one day I'll make a painting regarding the story and name it 'Marguerite'; a name I've come to appreciate very much.
