enola gay

I did not know how to feel in front of "enola gay", the B-29 super fortress that dropped the first atomic weapon on hiroshima the 6th of august 1945. this big bird is lost into the multitude of planes in the museum, a short note telling its mission. I was shocked that most of the visitors were passing in front of it without any consideration - its place would be perhaps more appropriate in a memorial…

it's free, you just need to register here. see you there!

a spaceship for real!

I sketch my first spaceship, it's like a child dream, yeah!
and discovery is not just a spaceship, it's the space shuttle that made the most earth-orbital missions, and spent a total of 365 days in space.
it's big, its skin is a mess of small pieces full of numbers, geometrical signs, textures… it looks like a handmade over scale model.
and how the hell could it fly back to earth, it's as aerodynamic as an iron.
anyway, I could have spent days and days sketching it, but the smithsonian air and space museum of washington dc was full of many other cool or legendary stuff - soon some more!

sketchcrawl with the nyc sketchers

I was lucky to sketch with some of the urban sketchers in nyc during my trip there last month.
we met on the high line in chelsea, which give a great view above the streets of manhattan's west side across a floating garden.

I love the advice that danielle gave me ;)


thanks veronica for making it happen!

by the way, it was great to meet greg for his birthday, cheers!

downtown nyc

lot's of planes, spaceships, meetings, skyscrapers (…) to come in the next days!
