Dear Friends and Watchers.
Posted 10 years agoLong time no see. I am sorry for my absence, but I've been exploring different creative paths for me this past year.
I’m planning to start a new typographic art project though, and I need a piece of you for that.
I want to do a series of artworks in which I collect short statements - thoughts, dreams, hopes, feelings, regrets - and render them in a typographic form.
I have been doing this before, with thoughts that seemed important to me, to give them worth and capture how I felt at the time. Who I was at the time. You can see some examples over at my facebook art page here:

Now I want to break free of myself. Every one of us carries within a painful lesson, a cherished memory, an inspiring outlook. Something that made us who we are today, for good or bad. I want to invite you all, to send me –anonymously of course – a message. A message including one monumental thing in your heart, that you want to get out. It can be dramatic. It can be sad, or funny, or wise, filled with existential dread or pure love. Doubt, or faith.
I want to experiment, and try new things with this. I want to give each statement its rightful form.
Share with me one truth about you.
If you want to take part in this, you can send my an anonymous email by using this site:
http://anonymouse.org/anonemail.html
I have tested it. The mail you send will be delayed up to 12 hours, but I will receive them without being able to identify the sender.
Please send your message to

- I want this to remain anonymous. No one taking part should be feeling insecure, or afraid of what people might think of them. The point of this project is to make visible the pathetic and divine nature of being human.
- I will accept English and German texts. However, the final product will be in English, so I will translate as best I can if necessary. I also might shorten or rephrase some texts if they don’t work well as they are, though only in some instances. I will try to remain true to the actual meaning that has been sent to me.
- Try to keep it short, but real. Not only because the longer the text, the harder it is to make it aesthetically appealing, but because leaving out part of the explanation makes it much easier for others to find themselves in it.
- If you can’t find inspiration by yourself, try thinking about some of these questions:
What is the most hurtful thing you’ve ever told someone?
What do you have faith in?
What brought you back to life when you've staring into a void?
What personal lessons have you learned this past year?
Where do you want to end up in life? Do you think it will happen?
Where does your biggest weakness or greatest strength come from?
Finally, I want to say thank you in advance, to all participants. It takes a deal of courage and awareness to share something personal about oneself.
I hope to find an appropriate look for it and to create a worthwhile project with your help.
So long
Tim

Help me help a friend in need (cheap commissions, guys!)
Posted 12 years agoHey friends and followers! Sorry about the inactivity - life, you know. It struck again.
Listen, I have a very good friend who's going through some troubled times right now and needs all the financial aid she can get, so I'm opening commissions for a while to help her out.
I'll be doing uncoloured but inked drawings for 15,- USD. Flat colours for 20,- USD. If you want a background as well, that'll be -depending on the level of detail- around 10,- USD extra.
Payment (and if some of you can spare some donations) through PayPal -> blacky8[at]gmx.at
Thanks so very much for any help! Much love,
LeNom
EDIT: Also, I have a huge bunch of rough sketches I'll be posting. If you see one that you like, I'd be happy to redraw some parts, ink them, and colour them for a small fee. Just send me a note!
EDIT²: Alright guys, thanks so much for your interest! I'm going to close this now to react to the flood of people who sent me a note about this. Love you all.

Who wants to be in a comic?
Posted 12 years agoWell that's a catchy enough title. Now that I have your attention: I LIED. Well not necessarily.
I was thinking of doing a few short comics with micro/macro and other themes, and I was wondering if you guys and gals would be interested in having your characters in them. The plot of the comic would be up to me (I'm sorry - comics are a lot of work if done correctly and I really want to draw my own fantasies first), but I could have like an auction or something for character slots in it. I'm not trying to be greedy here, but making a bit of money on the side through this would be pretty sweet. Besides, if you're lucky you could be in a comic for almost nothing, depending on how the auction goes. And since they're my fantasies I would probably draw them either way, so starting prices wouldn't be set that high.
Thoughts? Complaints?

Thank you for your continuous interest
Posted 13 years agoI know I haven't been all that active here, *cough* or at all. To be frank, I am a very lazy person.
However, the pen hasn't been sleeping, and there are a couple rough, not exclusively macro related sketches sitting around, waiting for proper outlines and colours. So as soon as I'm done with that, expect another batch of pictures and don't de-watch me yet! :D
