Sitting here today i still don&#8217;t<br \/>\nreally know what I am gonna do next. I realize more and more that<br \/>\ni cant stand the idea of doing just one kind of job at a time, i need<br \/>\nto mix my occupations, so i don&#8217;t get bored and I can keep my<br \/>\ncreativity running. <\/p>\n<p>I guess I will continue doing what I did over the last months &#8211;<br \/>\ndrawing and painting a lot, bring to life projects that are on my mind,<br \/>\ndoing personal and commercial projects on the web, looking for<br \/>\nfulfilling work, travelling &#8211; and looking for new ways to expand &#038;<br \/>\nexpress myself. (Signing and dance lessons are on the way, if i can<br \/>\njust unfreeze myself and do it!) <\/p>\n<p>With so many things on my mind, i had the urge to calm down, and<br \/>\nchange my environment often so i could change my focus and RELAX a bit! <\/p>\n<p>I did small trips around Germany, and finally managed to do<br \/>\na week trip alone in Holland. It was absolutely scary and totally<br \/>\nfantastic! Travelling alone is quite a challenge, but it is also magic.<br \/>\nI wish to travel even more in the next years to discover new countries,<br \/>\nnew people, new cultures, new energies, and myself. Travelling alone<br \/>\nbring you closer to yourself, you and you. It makes me feel alive. <\/p>\n<p><b> * An overview of my recent projects *<\/b><br \/>\n* Live out loud! *<br \/>\nLive out loud products, featuring &#8216;travelling dreamer in Paris&#8217;,<br \/>\none of my latest illustration. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone has a dream.<br \/>\nWe need your ideas, we need your art<br \/>\n&#8211; should it be writing, dancing, cooking, painting, signing &#8211;<br \/>\nwe need your imagination, actions, solutions.<br \/>\nIf you have a dream, begin now!&#8221;<br \/>\nMouse pad, T-shirt, mug, lunch box, caps and tote bag<br \/>\nare available online, with 6 of my illustrations that are also<br \/>\navailable for purchase as high quality copies. <\/p>\n<p>Visit the shop section,<br \/>\nLink: http:\/\/www.wheniridemybike.de\/weareallstars\/goods.html<br \/>\n. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .<br \/>\nUnder electric light website &#8211;<br \/>\nI did this micro site for the launch of the second cd<br \/>\nof a friend of mine, and i&#8217;m now working on the cd cover,<br \/>\nposter, and other promo stuff.<br \/>\nLink: http:\/\/w3.arobas.net\/~uel<br \/>\n. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .<br \/>\nBereal mag &#8211;<br \/>\nSome of my stuff featured in the magazine<br \/>\nfor issue 8 which was about power,<br \/>\nLink: http:\/\/www.berealmag.com<br \/>\n. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .<br \/>\nFuturist Guide to the web &#8211;<br \/>\nA book featuring some of my work of the last years,<br \/>\nshould be in stores soon.<br \/>\n. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .<br \/>\nCreativeDay &#8211;<br \/>\nThe site is now hosting more than 100 interviews of people<br \/>\nsharing about creativity and other fascinating stories,<br \/>\nso i encourage you to go on, read them, and if you feel like,<br \/>\nfill out the interview to let us know about you.<br \/>\nLink: http:\/\/creativeday.unitedsituation.de<br \/>\n. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .<br \/>\nAnd finally, some more illustrations&#8230;<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve updated the website every now and then with my new stuff,<br \/>\nbut there is still a lot to scan.
