Drawing by Ronald Searle
Sorry guys, for the long break, in which I havent updated this blog . I'm currently in Munich working on a project and apart from being very busy all through the week, its also very, very complicated to get on the internet in Bavaria. Now I'm home over the weekend so I took some time for updating.
I'm not allowed to tell you anything about the project without getting thrown from the highest window of Neuschwanstein , but this little gem I wanna share with you :
I had dinner the other night in Schwabing "Simpl", a "pub", or rather "Gasthaus" , that was the meeting place oft the guys who created the satirical newspaper "Simplicissimus" a mere 100 years ago.
Wonderful artists and caricaturists, some of you may be familiar with the work of theses geniusses.The Simpl pretty much looks the same as it did a 100 years ago and it was a great feeling, sitting there, having my Rostbratwurst with Sauerkraut and beer, right below some of the portraits and originals. Although I was all by myself, I felt, I was in good company.
Some of their artwork for you to enjoy:

Olaf Gulbranson from Simplicissimus is one of my all-time favorites. What a brilliant artist. And not known anywhere, really.
