Another working saturday

Another working saturday
sketch I did from a black/white photo

I went to my fav tech-library. It is the 100year old Technical Library of the 'DeutscheMuseum' in Munich, Bavaria, Germany.

My intention was to spend some time drawing sketches, warming up by doing some old-school human anatomy, but I was hooked by two-three books on art-theory.

One, called "The Origin of Perspective" by Hubert Damisch is about the change in perspective during the quatrocento, the renaissance period. But the Forword is very entertaining. He writes about the discussions and disputes among french intellectuals during the late 60's and there are tons of references between the Marxist and Structuralist groups of that time. Although the book was written 1987. So, if you are not familiar with the lingo of that time (luckily, or rather 'unluckily' I am) you wont grep a thing about Lacan, Foucault, the Bourgois, etc,etc,... finally, after 5hours of theory, I forced myself to stop reading and did some sketches/drawings for 1 hour, mostly after pics from photo-magazines. You can see them, as usual, under my flickr-adress: http:www.flickr.com/photos/buckybit/

Also what's happening: I saw a PS3Dev-Conference happening March 1st, in London, UK. It's only for/on PS3-Dev. I hope someone is going to cover it. Have to write an email to the gamespot-stuffers...
