Yuni Douglas in NebenSchauPlatz, Karlsruhe. April 2026 With prints and paintings from Mari Seibel, Pavel Miguel and Hugi Hugel. Renate Weßbecher and I were sat here and she suggested we could draw the singer.

Winter Cafe, Karlsruhe. April 2026 The owner of the flat above the cafe came out to have a look at the sketch. He told me the history of the building and showed me plans and photos. He went to the city archives, just around the corner from here. They had plans of the building from 1790 but didn’t know where the building was so both the owner and city archive could help each other. Drawn with other urban sketchers as part of the Karlsruhe chapter’s 10th anniversary event.
