flying

2009-10-18T16:31:00.002+02:00

Yes! Now I'm flying!

2009-10-18T14:14:00.004+02:00

It's a cold, cold world...

pattern

2009-10-05T22:09:00.003+02:00

I've used some patterns to create the sea.
And yes, it's an old illo, I've used it for the word 'insect' :-)

drifting

2009-06-26T01:21:00.005+02:00

The biggest wish, the white rabbit ever has had, is to fly. He thought, he could use his ears as wings, but that didn't work. He had almost given up, when the bluebird told him, there was a balloon in the field. "So what?" he said. "Come with me, and you'll be surprised", the bluebird said.

And he sure got surprised! The bluebird told him how to start, and soon he was drifting in the sky. "I was wrong," he said, "you bumblebee can fly allthough you really are to heavy - and now I can fly too!"

"In the land of the grassman and his friends nothing is impossible," the bluebird said, "and not everything is what it seems to be". The white rabbit smiled a big, big smile and wawed with his ears.

craving

2009-06-14T03:21:00.006+02:00

"You look sad," the water-butterfly said to the white rabbit. "Yes, I can't eat more carrots - will you help me?" "Butterflies can't eat carrots," the water-butterfly says, "sorry."

"Oh no, so many excellente carrots will be wasted", the rabbit said. The butterflies flew up, up and away.

unfold

2009-06-14T01:49:00.005+02:00

The book closed - and unfolded.

adapt

2009-05-31T11:53:00.004+02:00

The Grassman had a nightmare: somewhere in the middle of nowhere he is adapted in a balloon not able to breath. There are no trees, no grass - no life at all.

In the morning he woke when his girlfriend kissed him. It was only a nightmare, thank God. "I'm so happy," he said to her. "Here are you, here is the grass - here is life". His girlfriend smiled.

cracked

a whole cracker and a cracked cracker

contagious

2009-05-21T16:53:00.004+02:00

The white rabbit wishes, that flying would be contagious - he would like a lot to fly with his ears as vings.

He is so busy looking at the bluebird, that he doesn't see, that one thing is contagious - the ladybird. It's a very speciel kind of ladybird, I think.

contained

2009-01-10T22:00:00.004+01:00

With a little help from magic the bluebird did the impossible - he gathered some snowflakes into a glass-container, and they are not melting. The sheep is very, very happy - she loves snowflakes, and now she can see them at summer too.

(It's the same illo I used at CANNED)

resolve

2009-01-08T23:36:00.005+01:00

I really don't like new-years-resolutions. But - I have found this sketch from 23. september 2007! I promise myself to finish the illo - or decide not to finish it.

I shall resolve something more: Is it sunrise or sunset?

similar again

2008-12-09T09:44:00.004+01:00

The women above are not similar allthough they look so, if we don't look at the color of their eyes.

But why must the eyes be (nearly) the only difference, when she isn't at home?

similar

2008-12-07T23:12:00.004+01:00

2 similar bluebirds are flying in the sky, looking down to 2 similar porcupines - they think.

They are not quite similar - the one to the right is Porcu, and she is always a bit worried and shy. At the left is her good friend, Porcupy. He is (nearly) always happy - and sometimes he makes Porcu happy too.

pretend - again again

2008-11-23T03:35:00.003+01:00

Here in my blog I pretend I'm a girl in blue dress, always happy, wawing to the world recognizing funny, touching and crazy things in life. And I pretend, I've lots of self-irony.

In real life I'm sad, happy, depressed, crazy, caring, naive, stupid, self-ironic, enthusiastic, afraid, angry, grateful, quiet, noisy, peaceable, blue, red and green :-) (And many more things, I don't remember just now).

In my soap-bubble the world is smaller and more simple. Therefore, I think, it's possible to see the funny, touching and crazy things in our bigger world.

I love playing here - and yes, I think I'm being wiser when I look at the world with "soap-bubble-glasses".

pretend - again

2008-11-16T10:52:00.003+01:00

Porcu pretend, she's a pile of autumn-leaves -

pretend

2008-11-15T22:48:00.002+01:00

The grassmann pretends he is sleeping - it's only one eye, which is closed. In danish we say, we are sleeping as a fox, "fox sleep" - a sleep to cheat fx one's parents.

2008-09-05T13:44:00.004+02:00

Last week I was at Crete. It was like a very hot fairytale - beautiful island and tasty food. What a lovely place!

I want to come here again - I have only good memories from Crete.

detach

2008-08-17T12:52:00.004+02:00

If a pixie cap could feel, the stribed cap would feel alone and detached from his snowman.

But a pixie cap can't feel anything - or can it?

here is my man in the moon :-)

canned

2008-07-27T23:40:00.003+02:00

It's summer and the sheep is very happy. She loves snow, and most of all she loves counting the snowflakes, although it's very, very difficult.

Now she has found some canned snowflakes out in the field. "Now I can count the snowflakes," she said to the bluebird, "there are 23 or 25 flakes."

enough

2008-07-24T01:55:00.005+02:00

Maybe there can't be poured more coffee in that mug?

Maybe the coffee is strong enough?

Maybe the grassman has got enough coffee?

foggy

2008-07-12T01:06:00.005+02:00

"Is it you, Porcu?" asked the white rabbit - the world was so foggy, that he nearly couldn't see.

Porcu is the name for one of the white rabbit's friends, a porcupine. Maybee you can see, that it's just a big hair-brush, he's sniffing at.

Here you see a watering can watering some grass.

You shouldn't believe that - that's not quite right. At the image above you can look across the earth as with x-ray. What you see here is a miracle, not less. You see the birth of the Grassman.

Happy Birthday, Grassman!

my father and my mother's wedding

2007-09-19T01:00:00.000+02:00

Here is my father and my mother at their wedding day the 10th of November 1951. I'm glad, that my father doesn't have those green stripes in his face - anymore :-)

autumn again

2007-09-12T02:10:00.001+02:00

Here is a leaf from a hip plant - in danish: hyben. I like the yellow and pale green - isn't that beautiful?

I think, this little twig looks like a tree itself - amazing.

autumn

2007-09-12T01:42:00.000+02:00

Here in Denmark autumn has begun. I always enjoy all the beautiful colors of the leaves at trees and bushes:

Above is an enlarged image of the leaf maple "downunder". Isn't it magic?

alphabets

2007-09-01T23:29:00.000+02:00

The Grassman has never gone to school. In his world wasn't that necessary - nature and his friends were most important for him. But when he met his girlfriend, he saw that she loved to look in some paper with strokes in. She told him about the wonderful world, she met in the world of books. "If you want, I will show you how to read," she said.

Of course he would like it. He thinks, it's very difficult, but he will learn it, he will share reading with his girlfriend. Now he wonders, how the strokes in "GRASS" can mean his hair. "Strange," he said.

Happy dog

Blue cat

Old mr. Green-Sheep

Here are some more images, where I use a photo and replace, convert the colors at the photo to my own colors. It's fun playing with colors, emotions etc.

camouflage

2007-06-27T23:13:00.000+02:00

If geese could react as chameleons - change their colors after their surroundings - I think these two would do like this. They're hunted by the farmer, who want some goose roast. They want to live much longer, therefore they're hiding in front of the shawl of his wife. I wonder if he will find them?

This time I've made something quite different! I've used a photo of two geese and deleted the background. Then I replaced the colors at the photo with my own colors. Quite a slow, but funny process! The colors should correspond with the shadows etc. The shawl behind is just made with special brushes in Paint Shop Pro.

rejection

2007-06-16T04:14:00.001+02:00

(continued from "sign", May the 27th, 2007)

Maybee the white rabbit has eaten too many carrots? He can't eat anymore, nor can his friends: The bluebird won't eat carrots. Porcu uses to eat quite a lot carrots, but he visits his new friend, Porcupi. The grassman and his girlfriend had eaten carrot-cake, carrot-bread, carrot-salats and fresh carrots, and now they won't have anymore. He had even asked the wasp. "No-one here want to eat anymore carrots, everybody rejects, too bad" he thinks.

Then he see the giraffe, the refugee from Africa. "Now he must help," the white rabbit thinks. "You upthere - here are some carrots" he said.

"No thanks," says the giraffe, "I don't eat carrots." "Aren't my carrots good enough?", the rabbit said. "I'm sure they are, but I only eat leaves from tall trees," the giraffe explains.

"Ah, that's why you have your long neck! I thought, you came here to steal my carrots," the white rabbit says, a bit ashamed. He would ask why he came here from Africa, but the giraffe was already gone. The giraffe walked quickly because of his long legs, and the white rabbit couldn't even walk with his big stomach. "One day I'll ask him, what he will do at our place," was the last, he thought, before he felt asleep.

(to be continued)

suit

2007-06-16T01:42:00.000+02:00

The grassman's girlfriend will buy a new t-shirt to him. He has got some new jeans, and now she will make it to a completely new suit. She doesn't want to see him in his old green and striped pyjamas-shirt, which has become too small for him.

But it is difficult to choose.

The black and grey t-shirt is cool. But is her grassman cool? No, not so much - or maybee? Does he want to be cool?

What about the blue one? Then it will be a completely denim suit. "Do I want a cowboy as my boyfriend?" she asks herself and smiles. A cowboy with grass-hair and grass-feet?

Or maybe he would be very trendy with the green one. But wouldn't it look foolish, if the grassman suddenly is trendy? Can grass-hair look trendy?

She can't decide which one to buy. He will be just the same good old grass-man no matter what t-shirt he wears, she knows. But if he doesn't like the new t-shirt, he will continue to use his very small, green striped pyjamas-shirt - and it's indeed not trendy! Once in a while she decides one - and then she regrets.

Anyone who can help?

the paradise of the grassman

2007-06-03T18:10:00.000+02:00

This is so near paradise as it's possible - for the grassman...

It's summer. Butterflies fly around and disappear up in the sky. Dandelions show their star-seeds, before they're throwing them away to make new dandelions. At last, but not least, there are lots of green grass - foxtails, poas and other types of grasses. Nature is growing.

It's not a paradise for Felix, the cat. He wants to eat the bluebird. Luckily he can't catch her - else it would not had been a paradise for the bluebird. But what about Felix, must he be hungry? Not at all - he can get some cat-food, bought by the grassman's girlfriend. Any other suggestions?

car

2007-05-28T00:33:00.001+02:00

One night the turtle can see a very mysterious thing. First it could look like a far too big turtle. When she comes closer, she can see, that it isn't a living thing. It's one of those boxes, who can contain things and living beings, move very fast and give a lot of noise. "This one is very beautiful," she thinks, "it reminds me of something I don't know." She walked slowly home again, while she wondered where she had seen these nice colors.

It is a present from the grassman to his girlfriend. "She is my very special star, and I'll give her a star-car. Then she can come faster out and faster home again," he said. He looks forward to give her the car and see the look in her face.

sign

2007-05-27T01:29:00.000+02:00

(continued from "neighbour" May the 6th, 2007)
One sunny afternoon the white rabbit putted all his carrots in a pile. Soon he would get some new ones, therefore he would have a little "carrot party".

The bluebird saw the signs, he had made. "Why may animals with long necks not eat your carrots?" she asked. "Because – because - - all the carrots can be in their necks," the rabbit said.

The bluebird said, that was rubbish. "Why may the giraffe not eat your carrots?" she said directly. "That giraffe shall not come here from Africa and eat my carrots!" the rabbit shouted.

The bluebird got sad. "The giraffe have run away from home, because he was hunted by lions, and because his family mobbed him because of his crazy legs," she said.

The white rabbit didn't say anything. He looked at his signs, thoughtful. "But why does he come here," he said so quietly, that nobody heard him.

(to be continued)

neighbor

2007-05-06T21:36:00.000+02:00

The very first time, the giraffe came to The Land of the Grassman, the first one he met, was a bluebird. "Hey, I'm your new neighbor," the giraffe said. The bluebird would like to know, where he came from. He said, he came from Africa - far, far away. "Why do you come here?", he asked.

The giraffe said, that he ran away from home, because there were dangerous lions there, and because his own family mobbed him because of his crazy, crooked legs. Now he would start a new life here.

"A family ought to support eachother. I feel sorry for you, that yours was so mean against you. Would you like to get a new family here?", the bluebird asked. "Oh yes, but are there many giraffes here?" he asked. The bluebird said: "No, but you can get us, the grassman and his friends, as your family."

"Thankyou very much, you're are so kind to me, " the giraffe said a bit more happy.

The bluebird only wished, that he would be welcome among all the other friends. He wasn't, but it's just another story.

(to be continued)

remember

2007-04-29T22:39:00.000+02:00

Porcu is back from his winter lair, and his new friend, Porcupi, is here too. Maybee you can remember, that Porcupi is the happy one? In fact, he has "infected" Porcu - his worried face is a bit less worried now.

The sheep is telling them about a magnolia branch, he once saw. "I remember, all of it was green and white. It was beautiful", the sheep says.

Porcu imagines, how the world was green: The big magnolia branch, the green grass and the green sky with stars. He is happy, because the sheep remember that, and because Porcupi visits him.

fortune

2007-04-21T00:17:00.000+02:00

The white rabbit has tried to use his ears to fly. He has tried many times, but he can't, and now he isn't happy at all. " Why can't I fly like that spring-butterfly up there?" he said. " Is it my destiny forever to have so crazy ears, who can't even be used as wings?"

At last he said desperate: "Miss Fortune, if you exist, won't you let me fly? Just once?"

The spring-butterfly felt sorry for the white rabbit, but couldn't help, and she flew up and away.

green

2007-04-08T23:55:00.000+02:00

The grassman is home again, and home he's a very good sleeper.

He's dreaming of a green summer: lots of green grass, a green Porcu and a green rabbit with stars. The "white" rabbit and Porcu looks so funny, that he's smiling in his dream.

He's longing for summer now, so his hair can grow again and he can come out and "go for the grass".

snap

2007-04-06T02:00:00.000+02:00

The grassman & his friends are at a visit at a library. In fact, it's the pictures of them, who are. Above you maybee can see snapshots of the grassman in The Old Room at the library. I think, if the grassman came here in real life he would have loved the old couch.

Images of The Sheep, Porcu & The White Rabbit are there too. In a way, The Land of the Grassman & his Friends has moved into the library and it's a bit like home.

(It's my very first exhibition, and it's very exciting! It feels good to show my images and talk with people about them. Suddenly the drawings are outside the www, in the real world, and many people, who don't use the www, can see them too - fx my good old father.

The exhibition is at the library for april & may.)

I spy

2007-03-24T19:04:00.000+01:00

This magic night the grassman is spying on something, he doesn't know what. He has never spyed before. The cat Felix has told him, that he will see something marvellous, if he came down to the wood this night at 23 o'clock. He should be absolute quiet and nobody must see him.

He is anxious and afraid for, that the two bats will show, that he is there. He is very quite, but once in a while he must breathe.

What can it be?

(I'm busy preparing my very first exhibition - allthough it's not so big, there are many things to do, I think. I'm sorry, I've not the time to comment just now. But my exhibition starts at wednesday the 4th of April - then I have plenty of time! I hope...)

total

2007-03-24T15:20:00.000+01:00

These women are totally hidden from the outside world. No men outside their family may see them - their bodies, their faces, their feelings, their body languages. The women may not and cannot be part of the society - it's very difficult to communicate without being able to see the human being in the black disguise.

Can anything be so dangerous, that's the only possibility for salvation is to hide totally? I don't understand.

If we just can see the face, it's making a big difference. Then we can see the human being behind, and she can interfere with the world.

(The photos in the collage is from a demonstration in Yemen february 2006)

wired

2007-03-12T19:17:00.000+01:00

The grass-man is at the hospital. He is quite healthy, he's only helping the doctors to find out, why some people are good sleepers and some are not, and the doctors will help the sleepless people. His girlfriend has proposed him to take part in these experiments, because he is an extremely good sleeper.

And now he's laying here at the hospital with green wires and plasters. The doctor has told him to sleep, but he can't sleep at all. His eyes are getting bigger and bigger. He is sorry about, that he can't help the doctors.

no hiding place

2007-03-08T03:37:00.000+01:00

The Felix-cat and the Phoenix-bird cannot hide their eyes in the dark. Everyone can see them, both the scaring animals and the ghosts. Indeed, Felix is very happy about the Phoenix-bird has arrived. He doesn't think, the Phoenix-bird is as scared as he is. It's good to have great friends.

hide

2007-03-05T23:53:00.000+01:00

In many years the cat Felix was the only one, who couldn't play "hiding in the dark" with The Grass-man and his friends. But now they were two, and he was very glad about that. One more thing, he was glad about: that the fire in the Phoenix-birds feet was out.

ta-da!

2007-03-02T18:55:00.000+01:00

Today it's exactly one year since I started to make images in here - it was the 2th of march 2006. I enjoy making these pictures - so maybee there will come another year?

communication again

2007-02-25T22:57:00.000+01:00

Here I'm standing with my first mobile phone - it's some years ago :-)

communication

2007-02-24T19:10:00.000+01:00

The white rabbit is philosophizing:

"He has eyes – but cannot see,
he has a mouth – but cannot talk,
he has a nose – but cannot smell,
he has arms - but cannot give a hug,
he has no legs – and cannot walk,
and he can only live when it’s cold -
- but allthough I think he’s my friend, my cold kind friend. We’re communicating via telepathy. I allways know, where he is."

The white rabbit is glad about, that there's a lo-o-o-ong time to summer.

gravity

2007-02-17T15:58:00.000+01:00

The white rabbit saw a bumblebee flying above him. "Hey, you're a bumblebee, aren't you?", he shouted to her. She flew a little lower, so they could talk without shouting. "Yes, I am, and my name is Bumble the Humble, because the other bees say, I'm so kind," she said. "What a nice name" , the white rabbit said. "but you know that? You cannot fly! You're too big and too heavy to fly."

Bumble the Humble said: "Oh, I didn't know that". She thought, she should fly down, so the rabbit shouldn't be sad, but she was in a hurry, so she flew higher and higher, while she shouted: "Sorry - sorry - I'm in a hurry".

crash

2007-02-13T01:12:00.000+01:00

Porcu has found a very good lair, where he could survive the winter. The "floor" is covered with leaves from the autumn, and over the lair are black branches. He pushed some dirt away, and now he would find a place to sleep.

He turned around - and crashed towards someting. He wined - and then someone laughed. He saw, that it was an animal just like him, but happy. "My name is Porcupi", he said, "what's yours?" Porcu was yet a bit chocked, but he stammed out, that he is called Porcu. Then they said at the same time: "What are you doing here?" Porcupi laughed, even Porcu smiled.

Porcupi said: "Couldn't we be friends here in winter? When we are awake sometimes, we can see, we aren't alone." "Yes," said Porcu.

Porcu was a bit happy now, and he didn't stam so much. Life was more easy, now Porcupi was there. The last he thought before he fall asleep was: "I wish, we can be friends at spring and summer too."

sprout

2007-02-03T17:33:00.000+01:00

The tree above is a very special tree. It is called a grassland-beech, because it's only growing in the land of the grassman and his friends.

The tree here is about 100 years. There are more than 200 leaves, the sheep tried once to count them. If there come rain and sunshine, one little sprout might turn into a tree like that above.

Isn't that magic?

There is only one problem: do white rabbits eat sprouts? Anyone who knows that?

red

2007-01-27T01:06:00.000+01:00

One summernight the grass-man was out for a party. He was amongst his friends, music was good - life wasn't so bad, he thought. Actually life was very good for the grass-man.

Then he saw the most wonderful girl, he'd ever seen. She was dancing. He couldn't help looking at her most of the time. Then suddenly she was gone, he couldn't see her anymore. He got sad - until a beautiful voice said: "You look to be a sweet and kind man - should we dance?"

He got very happy and a little shy, and his cheeks turned red - almost as red as the walls in the danceroom.

That's how the grass-man met his girlfriend for the first time.

I think this song gets xtra qualities with the pictures, the music and the text simultaneous - that's just great, if you like Bob Dylan. I do indeed.

Thanks for showing it, Mauricio.

super hero

2007-01-22T02:07:00.000+01:00

The grass-man has made some badges with a picture of his girlfriend. "She is my super hero," he said, "even the crownprincess Mary of Denmark can't cope with her. I love her and she loves me - I'm a lucky man."

Anyone who doesn't know our Crownprincess Mary? Then maybee you can google her?

phoenix

2007-01-02T14:49:00.000+01:00

One day the cat walked in the field, looking for mice. Suddenly there was a large bird ahead him. "Hi, my name is Felix, and I'm a cat," he said. "My name is Phoenix, and I'm a Phoenix-bird," the bird said. "Ok, then I'm a Felix-cat," he smiled.

"Don't it hurt, the fire in your feet?" Felix asked. "Not at all, I'm born in fire," she said. Felix wondered: "Did you came out of the egg in fire?" The Phoenix-bird said: "I did not come out of an egg. When the previous Phoenix-bird was 500 years, she burned out in a fire and then I grew up of it."

"Very weird," Felix thought, "no-one will believe me, if I tell, that I've met at bird with burning feet, whose mother was 500 years and burned to death when this Phoenix-bird here came out of another thing than an egg!" Then he laughed: "Ah - she's making fun because it's new-year!"

He said "Happy Newyear to you too," and walked across the field to visit the grass-man and his friends. He only wondered why the fire didn't hurt the Phoenix-bird.

peace

It's night. Snow has fallen, and it squeaks, when the white rabbit walks through the wood upon the snow. Else it's a silent night.

Suddenly he stops. He sees, that one of the trees doesn't look like it usually do. In the top of the tree there is a star, and there is some golden shine around it.

It's very beautiful and peaceful, and the white rabbit wished, some of his friends were there to share the moment with him. He looks around him, and there, just there up in the sky, is a big, twinkling star. "It must be the peace-star," he thought, and sat down and enjoyed it. Just in that moment there was peace on earth.

For this night "the speedy rabbit" had changed to "the silent rabbit".

happy holidays

2006-12-22T00:18:00.000+01:00

Will you HELP me to make a great 2007? :-)

Hugs from Denmark - georg

help

2006-12-17T18:15:00.000+01:00

One night it started snowing. The sheep went out, she loves snowflakes. She tried to count them. It was difficult - when the lowest snowflakes hitted the ground, new came from the sky.

She called her very good friend Ursus for help. She thought, that he could count the upper flakes and she could count the lower.

It was still difficult, but they helped one another.

winter

2006-12-11T22:25:00.000+01:00

The grassman loves to see snow is falling - from the inside of the window. He doesn't like to be outside when it's winter. He has made a poem:

No grass can grow
in the snow
that's why I say it loud:
I will not go out!

When it's winter, he looses his grasshair, but it's growing out next spring, so he doesn't care.

2006-12-11T19:39:00.000+01:00

" Hi Porcu and Sheep, what are you going to do?" the bluebird asked. "We're going to the white rabbit," the porcupine said, "and we will surprise him - he can't recognize us at all, because we have our masks on," the porcupine said. The bluebird laughed: "Yes, you're complete hidden, Porcu and Sheep - enjoy!"

"Yes, we are hidden. I only wonder how she knows our names?" the porcupine said. The sheep smiled - this was one of the rare moments, where the porcupine was happy. Especially in these times, where the grass is grey and the leaves have disappeared (nearly), he was a bit depressed. Winter is coming, and soon he should make a winter lair. He remembered, that he would miss his friends. But he had to - else he couldn't survive the winter.

might

2006-12-06T22:16:00.000+01:00

One simple question: What has the strongest power - a dandelion or asphalt? The answer is not logical but fabolous: the dandelion! It can broke even the hardest asphalt and bloom with it's sunshine-flowers and white star-stick. The weather is so fine here, maybee it's thinking spring's here one more time?

After the rain comes the earthworm up on the road, looking for something, I don't know what, and two autumn-butterflies are trying to reach the clouds. That's autumn at the land of the grass-man.

an inventor

2006-11-26T03:45:00.000+01:00

Here you see an inventor. He's the man, who invents the words, that bloggers shall write to show, that they're not spamming, but are going to write a true comment for a blog.

It's a hard and difficult job, but luckily he is very creative and uses many different fonts, colours and letters. He will not use wellknown words, because it would be too easy for the comment-writers.

invention

2006-11-25T20:02:00.000+01:00

One day the sheep said to the grassman's girlfriend: "All other sheep have curls, but I have squared hair - why?".

The grassman's girlfriend looked at her. "You could try this. Normally it's foolish if a sheep like you are going to be glamourized, but here the nature has gone crazy while given you squares! I think it's ok to help the nature a bit," and she lend her her curling iron.

"What a marvellous invention," thinks the sheep, and in her thoughts it was raining curls...

thanksgiving

2006-11-18T02:15:00.000+01:00

The ram Ursus said to the sheep: "I'm giving you my love". The sheep said "Thanks".

clear

2006-11-12T02:04:00.000+01:00

The porcupine has cleaned the window from the inside. Or - he has tried. He couldn't reach the glass at the top, and that's why this still is dirty. He is very sad about that he can't see the pretty red flower. The bottom of the window is quite clear.

"I can't even clean a window," he said sadly. "That's only because you're a porcupine, " the autumn-butterfly said. "You're not created to do that." "But - I can't do anything right", he cried. The butterfly said: "Oh yes, you're the best one here to curl up." "Yes I am," said the porcupine a bit happy and proud too.

Maybee we should ask the grassman to clean the rest?

smoke by boots

2006-11-08T10:26:00.000+01:00

The turtle is burning her red boots. When she's wearing them, her feet is quite wet by sweat. She would rather get her feet wet by water instead, that doesn't stink.

Besides she thinks, the boots look a bit silly. "I'm not a peacock or a human being, I don't need such decoration. I'm a turtle, and I'm proud of being a turtle", she told the grass-man. He agreed.

smoke

2006-11-04T00:24:00.000+01:00

My mother died of emphysema far too young - because of those small white murder-nails, called cigarettes. The last years she had a hard time. She got oxygen day and night, it did the breathing a little easier.

I'm sorry, my image is so negative this time - I can't help it.

wind

2006-10-29T02:22:00.000+01:00

It's autumn, and the wind-cloud has become strong and has blown the porcupine around. He cryes for help, and luckily his friend, the white rabbit, hears him. He calls for the giraffe, who comes very fast.

"Go away from my friends," the giraffe says. "We two are stronger than that cloud", the white rabbit says and hides himself between the giraffe's long legs.

women

2006-10-27T02:28:00.000+02:00

These women are not ghosts. They only look like. I wish, I could see their faces, see them as those human beings, they are.

It's only the burca, where we only can se the eyes, I think is a bit scaring. Other veils can be very beautiful. I really respect the muslim woman's wish to wear veil - of course. I only want to see her face.

It's this photo of women from Yemen, that inspired me to the image above.

nice ghosts

2006-10-23T01:34:00.000+02:00

Two ghosts are ready for Halloween. They both agree, that white is oldfashioned for ghosts. "Your green clothes matches your eyes - amazing!" the first ghost said. "And your blue is just the same as your blue eyes - it is so beautiful!"

The bat flew up in the sky and wondered where to get these clothes. "I think the green stars would be cool for me, " he thought.

ghost

2006-10-22T22:50:00.000+02:00

Some weeks ago did a spider eat the wasp, who would sting the grassman. He knows it's dead, but once in a while he still sees it as a shadow. "He must be an evil wasp-ghost now," he says. "I feel sorry for the other ghosts if he will sting them..."

smitten

2006-10-15T03:07:00.000+02:00

The grassman and his girlfriend love to look at the stars. Especially they love the Big Dipper.

"I wonder how the stars could place them just in that way, like a trolley. Maybee they had a picture to look at," the grassman said. "Yes, maybee," his girlfriend said.

"I'm glad, you are down here," he said. "Me too," she said. That is - he's calling her for his very own star.

trouble

2006-10-07T23:22:00.000+02:00

About once a day the wasp teases the spider - he flies through the web, it's not strong and sticky enough for him. Then the spider must spin his web again.

But one day enough was enough. The spider took some very, very strong glue, called "Karlssons Klister" - this he rubbed all over the web.

Then came the wasp. "Hello, are you ready to get a hole once more?", he cried. He flew through the web - he thought, but he got caught and couldn't do anything. The spider walked towards the wasp. "Now you're in BIG trouble,"he said, "I'm gonna eat my lunch now."

quiet

2006-10-02T21:39:00.000+02:00

Sometimes the white rabbit is too speedy, and so it's necessary for him to slow down. Then he likes to go to the corn-field. Here's not quite quiet, but nearly - today he can only hear a gentle breeze in the corn and in the leaves of the tree.

"Wonderful," he thinks, "now I start my new, slowly life - and I can hear again."

But he couldn't hear everything - two autumn-butterflies played around, completely quiet.

phobia

2006-09-22T21:16:00.000+02:00

The grassman has got a computer from his girlfriend at his birthday.

One day the computer-table should be used another place. Afterwards the grassman would put the leads in the right switches. But suddenly he got very scared - he cried: Snakes are coming!

His girlfriend came and saved him. She putted the leads in the switches and kissed him. He wondered why the snakes didn't bite her.

That's how the grassman got a phobia - he is afraid of leads.

change

2006-09-18T03:52:00.000+02:00

Life changes for a water-butterfly: At first she is inside an egg, thinking world is nice and blue. In the egg she has her very own lunch. She's eating and eating - and she's growing. One day the shell cracks, and now she is a caterpillar.

"I didn't know, I was so long," she thought. Luckily there is some food for her. Life is green and wonderful.

One day she got very tired, at last she couldn't even eat. "That was my life," she thought and closed her eyes. Just before she holds at the leaf - she wouldn't fall down in the dirt. She was now a crysalis.

Time passes by. One sunny day her skin cracked. Surprised she saw she wasn't long anymore. She shakes a little - and what happens? She rises. The flaps behind can be moved, so she can fly. She flew up, up and away - to the waterstream. "I didn't know, the world is so big with so many colours," she thinks with joy. She is now a water-butterfly.

Down at the grass the white rabbit looked at the sky and saw her upthere. "I will fly too! I will!" he shouted and moved his ears forwards and backwards.

(I tell in a comment how my process with the image has been)

hope?

2006-09-11T16:46:00.000+02:00

Nothing's left after the war: no houses, no road, no shops, no laughs, no cafes, no pidgeons, no houswives at shopping, no roadworkers, no unemployed on the bench, no bikes, no cars -

- and yet. Here, in the middle of nowhere, is a boy, transparent, sitting with a red ball. Will he give up, go home - if he has a home? Or will he try to play with his ball? As long as the children play, there is hope for a future.

(The ruins are from Berlin 1945 after WW2, I've drawed the boy.)

farm

2006-09-09T00:35:00.000+02:00

The ladybug and the gentlemanbug are going to learn their 3 little kidbugs to milk their aphids. The ladybug-parents have learned it by the ants. "Adr!" says the one kidbug.

"Don't you want some food?" the father says. "Yes, but you shall give it to me," she says. "What will you do, when you are alone", asks the father. "I will never be alone - I'll be a family-ladybug," she says, "and I love you, dad!"

"OK, wait a minute, I'll come with some food," the father says.

I have received this postcard today, and now I'm sending it to you all. Yes, many people see IllustrationFriday!

If you're writing your blog-adress in the comment, I'll pass on your regards :)

(I hope you will see it for what it is - just a joke.)

safe

2006-09-03T00:02:00.000+02:00

The wasps are angry: "I'll get you! I'll sting you! Come out, you coward!" But the grass-man is safe, completely safe. Allthough he isn't happy at all. He wants to come out, and he miss his girlfriend. He is thinking: "Maybee it's better to be free and fight with the wasps than to be caught in this jail?"

run

2006-08-27T00:51:00.000+02:00

The white rabbit would teach the porcupine to run. "You must learn to run for your life," he said. "But - I'll just curl up, " the porcupine said. "No, it's not OK," the rabbit said.

The rabbit said: "Just look at me - down with your nose and strech on your hind leg very hard, ready to run!" The porcupine tried - but ouch! His nose fellt to the dirt, and his hind legs hang in the air.

"Maybee you should curl up, " the rabbit said.

match

2006-08-19T12:53:00.000+02:00

One day the grass-man and his girlfriend walked together. Suddenly he stopped, he would see, if their feet were well matched - they both agreed, that their feet couldn't match better than they did.

They were so engaged, that they didn't see the two ladybirds, allthough they were quite large for ladybirds to be. In fact, the one wasn't a ladybird, it was a gentlemanbird, and they matched well too.

play

2006-08-14T01:37:00.000+02:00

The grass-man drawed a man at the stones with white crayon from the school, and then he played "jump-in-the-man".

His friends always wants him to start - then they can jump in his footprints. Maybee you remember, that when the grass-man goes at stones or at the ground without any plants, he lefts grass in his footprints?

clean

2006-07-29T17:52:00.000+02:00

Today it's time for doing the laundry. It's summer, but allthough the sheep is feeling cold. It's the grass-man, who's doing the laundry, he loves it. "Why are you doing this against me?" the sheep cried.

opposites

2006-07-23T15:31:00.000+02:00

The wasp and the turtle are real opposites.

A turtle can be very old, maybee that's why she is slow - why hurry? She'll probably arrive at time, if not today, then tomorrow. She are going to walk in the puddle, that's why she has her red boots on. Remember the porcupine? He stuck in the puddle, but the turtle loves water.

Then came the wasp flying very fast. The wasp is almost allways mad and busy. "Away, that's my food!" he cries, if he finds some people, who eat jam outdoor.

The turtle sang: "Slow down, you move too fast". The wasp turned back and cried: "It's none of your business!" and tried to sting the turtle at her shield. "It was not the most clever thing to do", the turtle said, while the wasp broke his spine.

The wasp flew very mad away, while the turtle, happy as ever, continued her way to the puddle.

sacrifice

2006-07-15T14:53:00.000+02:00

All the other friends are at the beach, but they needed to clean the windows. Noone wanted to do it, and then they did "stone-scissors-paper", and the porcupine lost and had to sacrifice himself. "Never more say scissor" he repeated again and again.

And maybee he shouldn't say the same, "scissor" , EVERY time...

skyline

2006-07-08T00:24:00.000+02:00

It's summer, and each summer there's big changes at the field. The hole day through people's running, hopping and laughing, and the sheep is quite confused.

But late in the evening, after sunset, she loves eating her grass and look at the new skyline. She's happy, and she thinks at her new very good friend, the ram called Ursus.

sticky

2006-07-07T03:16:00.000+02:00

It's a little sticky situation for the grassman's little sticky friend: he's stuck in the puddle...
