Since I am living in this appartment there is a blank space above my couch.
Since about the same time I possess a bunch of acrylic colors and some cardboard and canvases. I just had no idea how to combine the two to something nice (which also is not too complicated because I’m not very skilled in acrylic painting).
However, I found something inspiring, a couple of pictures of the band Schandmaul. They show the band members in front of a reddish wall, for example? like this. So I thought I could do the same with my vampires. Two or three portraits on 65 X 50 cm cardboard.
The first one started with a digital color sketch:
It looks pretty different in acrylics – I found it hard to pick the background colors. Now they are way more saturated than on the sketch but I think it’s not too bad.
I used masking fluid to keep the sketch of Jul clean from colour. While this technique worked fine on canvas I had to learn that cardboard behaves different: After the fluid had dried it could hardly be removed again from the surface. Part of it is still there so I will simply paint on top of it. Lesson learned …
The next portrait is supposed to sport Kai. But I’d like to finish this one first.

Well, here’s the first bunch of new pictures. Most of them were created when I was on vacation with a dear friend :)
The person on the left came out during a random doodle session. Then I thought that’s what Jul’s sister would look like – if he had one.
I liked the idea, so I drew some more. She has no name yet.
Kai is not only a name but also means “dock”. There was a sentence in a book mentioning an abandoned dock, wet from rain. The picture on my mind came instantly :D
Jul’s former band “End of Time”.
After band practice they often went to the nearby lake. That’s Jul with drummer Alex.
Well :) I love the A-Team, and there’s the idea of writing a fanfiction, a crossover between the A-Team and my own story. A little plot is already on my mind.
And another one. I found it funny imagining Jul and B.A. arm wrestling. :D
Jul watching … something.
Kai looking very content.
And Gris doing something undefined.

Again some changes have been made to this site. Most work was fiddling with my wordpress theme to make its XHTML and CSS valid :) This took me a lot of time, but I like the outcome!
While restructuring the site, I decided to put the blog back on the front page. I did not comment past changes to this site, but I thought it would be nice to have them documented.
So I’ll try and use the blog as art blog where I post new pictures, texts or other news about Fangs. Let’s see how this will work out :)

After a major remake not only the name of this site has changed (formerly: julshome.de) but everything else as well.
One new feature is the possibility of switching languages. As you can see, not every page has been translated yet – but I am working on this.
So, have fun!
