Kerstin Klein (of snowflakes & blackvampires) has started a new project. In 10 Years Ago, she chronicles things that happened on any particular day in the past by making a drawing about it in a Moleskine diary.

Based on the two weeks’ worth of drawings that have currently passed the spotlight, I think this is a project to keep in touch with. I particularly like the broad spectrum of events and subjects, which nicely contrasts with the very uniform treatment each of them receives.

Lambiek !

Ephemerist reader Kerstin Klein went to Amsterdam last month and made a sketch report about it. She also visited the Lambiek emporium (which every comics afficcionado should at least once in his life) and drew it as well, as you can see above.

I kinda like the way characters like Tom Poes or Lambiek (or even Gaston Lagaffe) are rendered by an artist who’s probably not familiar with them. It gives them a whole new dimension, somehow.
