Long time no reading.

Since two weeks I'm working as a concept artist on the upcoming game "Galaxy in Turmoil". 

So I have the hands full with stuff. But since this is a very colourful activity I thought about 

showing you some valicoloured pictures of Montreal.

When I took my first steps here I was amazed from all these nice houses you definitely can't 

find in Germany as far as I know. Here you have thousands of these beautiful designed 

homes which amazingly never have a strange colour combination. And they're all so different.

   

      

      

Pobacke!

   

And that's not all. As we wandered through the streets sometimes, when we turned around 

a corner, there was a murral appearing, and there were popping up more and more. 

And about this I have to say something that is just my oppinion. 

I'm from Berlin, the city that attracts a lot of artists. Everyone who wants to paint, design, 

shape clay and so on goes to Berlin. But now, after I see the murrals (and tattooists by the way) 

in Montreal every day, I have absolutely no idea what the people see in Berlin. It's just a joke against this.

   

And that's still not all. 

The Montrealers have a huge respect for these murrals and every form of art. 

I couldn't find just one murral/graffity that was destroyed with tags from some idiots. None! 

And I found murrals from 2013 for example. They look like new. In Berlin something like that 

would have 24 hours in all his glory until some yobs would appear on the scene and scribble their names in fat letters all across it....

The murrals here are so awesome and there are so many of them that I want to give them an 

extra post in the near future. You just have to see them!

But till then I have to continue drawing sci-fi armors and for everyone who is interested in 

taking a look at the game, just follow the link.

Wish you a nice weekend.

We were on a mission last weekend and this mission led us to Toronto. 

Five hours away from Montreal we didn't know where to sleep and so, after we amused 

ourselves on the road with this...

    

...and compensated it with this...

  

...and after we survived this!...

Bloody hell!!! These were the most confusing, terrifying, frustrating and exhausting highways ever! And at some parts 

it was extremely full even though it was sunday...

...and after we shook off this truck out of a horror movie...

...we camped in front of the city and gathered some strength for the next day with a

campfire, stolen corn from a nearby field, water hiking and chipmunk feeding.

And we also took a look at the lake Ontario which gives you the feeling of beeing at the 

Baltic Sea.

   

Toronto definitely has it's nice views but for us it was just exhausting to be there. Too many 

cars, too many people, way too busy, extremely confusing road design and parking is 

absurdly expensive. After we got a parking space and bought two tickets (accidentally) we 

still got a parking violation ticket about 50$ (and we still don't know why; the parkometer 

was directly alongside our car...).

Nevertheless we had some nice vistas!

   

   

      

   

And we got this awesome japanese cheesecake from Uncle Tetsu's! 

Don't miss it when you are there. Seriously!

    

And we saw this...

   

But despite of the views and the cheesecake I have to admit that I'm very happy that the Marculossus' profession brought us to Montreal and not Toronto.

After that trip we needed some fresh air to settle again and so we took a look at the 

wondrous Cheltenham Badlands.

And we made a stop at the McMaze farm to walk through the mazes and kiss the nature.

Have a nice week
