Review

A very nice and sensitive review of "Inside Salmeck" on the american website Vermicious, by John Seven.

Castagnola, Lugano (Switzerland)

Still in the footprints of lavian poet Rainis, in his forced exile in Castagnola, a suburb of Lugano, in Switzerland.

Inside Salmeck

My first mini-comic "Inside Salmeck" is now available at Birdcage Bottom Books, the New York based publisher! It explores the neighborhood of my house in Basel, in an urban sketcher way...

It is a small format, 4.25″ x 5.5″, 24 pages. You can order it here.

Zürich II

Zürich

My last sketch in 2014. Usteristrasse 14, in Zürich, where the Latvian poet Rainis (1865-1929) lived in 1912. This is a project for an exhibition about him, to be held in Latvia in 2015.

Montpellier

Spending a long week in Montpellier, France, I thought I would have had more time to draw, but it turned out to be more difficult than expected to switch from rehearsing at the opera to sketching. I ended up with only two sketches. One of the opera house and another of the entrance of a housing complex built in 1988 by the spanish architect Ricardo Bofill, where our hotel was located.

Fribourg

Two quick sketches from Fribourg: the brand new "Pont de la Poya" and buildings in "Schiffenen", on the periphery of the city.
