Royal Palace Neuschwanstein, 2016-10-26

I bought this on a fleamarket thinking it was a Clementoni puzzle. Turns out, it was not, the box just looked exactly like a Clementoni box, except that the word Clementoni was missing. Probably not a coincidence. Anyway, the brand is called High Quality Puzzle, but I would have to respectfully disagree with that. The pieces, unfortunately, fit where they don’t belong, and the forest in the foreground was quite difficult.

Donuts, 2016-02-26

Collage with donuts. Eurographics has a lot of these collages with food, and I think I OD’d on them a bit, they become a bit repetitive at some point. I still have a couple that I haven’t done yet.

Dog’s Life, 2016-10-09

Hilarious image by Marino Degano of a dog and the fleas who live on him. My favourite is the tourist bus bringing more fleas for a vacation. There’s also a reference to German football: the dog is wearing the logo of Hamburg based team St. Pauli, and the skull and crossbones  on the scarf are also a reference to St. Pauli, as they are known to fly the Jolly Roger. Marino Degano was born in Italy, but he grew up in Germany, and he now lives in Strasbourg (France) and Hamburg.
