From the sinking city
Just a few photos … I’ve been taking so many here and also drawing quite a bit … there might be a new unabashed comic in the making … what a great city. Every corner needs a whole day of drawing …

Bona notte, Enrico! Did you have a chance, to take a picture of the firemen, too? If you have a chance to meet or visit them: they are very nice and cool!! You could even jump on their boats – about 10 mph fast …

I agree! They say you either love or hate Venice. I lived there almost six years and I so miss it!! Welcome back!

A melancolic view of the city… looking forward to see the sketches.

I had the worst spaghetti I ever ate and the most expensive cup of coffee I ever drank right there! but even so how could anyone dislike the city? It’s a great place.

I’m so envious of you…I wish I could be there. I remember going to the Murano glass studio, and really enjoyed it. Are you planning on doing any sketches of the pigeons that hang around one Piazza San Marco?

Is that rain in the first one?
Hey, I’m just a touch envious. Enjoy yourself!

Thorsten- I think I missed out on the firemen …
Aoi- Ah wow you lived there ? Cool, were you studying there? The city is filled with tourists on one side and students on the other …
Alina, Laurent b – will post asap !
Jamie- eh eh, sorry u had such a bad coffee and food experience in Venice, it is important to keep away from the touristy side of the city to avoid that …
Stephanie- I kind of stayed away from San Marco when drawing, too crowded … but I sketched around other areas …
Lee-Roy – Rain indeed, buckets …

Yep, I was the student/working force of Venice ^_^ I saw it crowded with tourists (summers and Carnival seasons) and almost empty during Winters. After all the city lives on tourism, though the few Venetians might like it or not…
