I'm learning this woodturning thing and it is more fun than I ever thought. This was once a block of wood!

Is it Neptune? I finally had some time to sketch today. Even though I could only find one piece of paper. Just a fun moustached fountain somewhere on Rue de Montmartre in Paris. #sketchmorethannot #sketchbook #carnetdecroquis #sketch #fountain #neptune #moustacheelf #paris #fountainsofparis #cecinestpasunecigarette #lartdeparis #paris🗼 #fabercastell (à Montmartre)

Past Beatle homes in Liverpool. Of all the days to visit, we picked the same day Paul was in town. #beatles #thebeatles #liverpool #fab4 #fab4beatlestour #musichistoryuk #johnpaulgeorgeringo #paulmccartney #macca (à Liverpool, UK)

Ohhh you take the high road and I'll take the low road and I'll be in Scotland afore ye. For me and my true love will never meet again on the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. 🎶 . . . #lovescotland #scottishhighlands #lochlomond #highlandcow #hairycoo #scotland #timberbushtours #glencoe #highlander (à Tarbet, Highland, United Kingdom)

I found a guy selling a working Voigtländer out of his garage. I can't believe it. Film life: I'm back. And so happy about it. I've been searching for one with a working meter for as long as I've lived in Berlin. So celebrate with me, Instagram! #ishootfilm #voigtländer #rangefindercamera #35mm #vitomatic #westgermany #analogphotography #analogue (à Berlin, Germany)

It doesn't just look like a fairytale, it's apparently where German fairytales are set. The Harz Mountains are full of witchcraft and magic and I am all about it. The raven on the side of the building delights me to no end. Also it's like the 5th place we've been that claims to have invented gingerbread. #quedlinburg #quedlinburggermany #deutschland #hexen #hexenhaus #witch #germanfairytale #fairytale #saxony #harz (à Quedlinburg)

There's a beautiful, old, overgrown cemetery here in Berlin with a sad history of destruction. The past has been unkind, but now it's a peaceful place hidden away from the loud city centre. And I forgot to bring a pen. #cemetery #berlin #schönhauserallee #prenzlberg #senefelderplatz #tombs #graveyard #friedhof #friedhofsfotografie #кладбище #могила #берлин #немецкий #cimetiere (à Jüd.

I redrew my "loving the alien" sketch in colour but I can't say it's a favourite. I love the cosmic colours in the background though. #drawing #inktense #jesszaikova #derwent (à Berlin, Germany)
