I usually don´t post many photos, don´t know why, maybe because I think people only expect illustrations from me. In any case, spring has arrived to Berlin, and it came a long way baby!
these are some impressions of my last weekend.
I forgot to mention that meanwhile I do work as a photographer too…
I have been sitting on illustrations about wine lately. Wine is as fascinating as perfume for me, because the multitude of different aromas, depending on lots of aspects. I will continue this series for sure.
The other topic was French Fries. Why? Well possibly because it was so cold lately, even it´s may (the coldest may ever) and one gets strange ideas . I read that fries made in coconut oul are even healthy, yet I don´t know if this is true or not. In any case from time to time they are yummy…
und finally the big Q

as a few of you might now, I am working on a child book charakter. It is a little girl by the name of Emma Rose. The charakter was invented by me a couple of years ago, and is constantly developing. My boyfriend Christian Heymann is writing the stories, while I do the pictures. The newest, and second Emma story is “Emma and the snow trails”. Emma gets lost in the snowy landscape while feeding the birds. But with the help of her little friends, she figures out a way to get back to the house….
this is a new long term project I´m starting. After having illustrated vintage cameras for 2 years, I am starting something else, maybe more ambitious: I´m trying to illustrate famous parfumes, mostly of the old school kind. A good perfume is a “spirit in a bottle”, and can change the aura of the person wearing it.
My first will be “Femme” by Rochas, from the 1940ies. A bull and rich blend, and no way easy, it is for the strong and edgy, but femine ladies, big personalities. Among others it was worn by Hollywood sex icon Mae West, who was far more then a dumb blond. The fragrance has da deep and komplex aura, no one is making such perfumes these days. It reminds me of my grandmas cousin, an extraordinary woman who used to ride motrcycle and who sang at the oparette, with leagons of young suitor at her feet.
read some reviews on it, if you are interessted:

I forgot to make January desktop calenders, but I got reminded by a nice colleague to do it again, so here we go! This time it´s Emma, my little child character I invented, and am writing a book about. You will see more from her later this year. For now, Emma is happy to play outside in the February snow. It´s still cold and winter, but a sense of not too far spring is also in the air. Enjoy the desktops and remember, they are only for your private use.
