Cheers! :D
Hahaha, your English is perfect, mine is crap! Cheers Davide for entering the raffle, big thanks! BTW, the weather here is quite the same, cold and hazy.
ReplyDeleteHey Florian. I have been a big fan of your work since pre-blog days when I would go to 'Satzinger & Hardenberg' website and admire the designs and check out the news/links you would share. You guys have such great drawings and great ideas.
ReplyDeleteI am an artist living in the San Francisco Bay Area as well as teach cartooning classes and do production work (coloring, logos, etc) for other artists.
Love that you blog now. Keep up the great work.
Hi Florian, I'm Rafael from Mexico, i found your page through Twitter, I'm a game developer and I think the style of your drawings is very. Really like your videos drawing from scratch, very interesting to see how you get to the final results.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Edward. A filipino who lives here in Las Vegas. It's getting cold here this time of the year. I recently discovered your art through some other artists on Twitter and fell inlove with yourt art ever since. I love to draw too and I hope I can be a great artist someday.
ReplyDeleteI'm Stefano from Florence, Italy. I work as a freelance illustrator at the moment but I would love to work as much as possible in the animation industry. Btw in Italy is not so easy, too many arists and very little work...
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog since a while now, I love all the freedom and taste you put in your drawings! I would like to see more of your process videos too.
Today was grey and foggy. I honestly like this kind of weather... =P
I'm Margaret in San Francisco, California, and the weather is pretty decent right now, but I just moved from some place colder so as long as it's above freezing I think it's decent. I design software and paint and really get a kick out of your drawing style.
ReplyDeleteHey Florian!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to get this shirt! I ordered a number of these for some of my fellow artists at work. We all work out in San Francisco and reside in and around the city. I appreciate your updates on your blog. They always inspire me to keep drawing for myself.
thanks for posting the link about the shirt, I thought I had missed it but kept visiting the site and it eventually popped up!

Hey Florian,

ReplyDeleteHello Florian! I'm Steve Marshall, cartoon character animator currently residing in Saint Louis, Missouri smack in the middle of the United States. The weather is always different here, and at this very moment it's finally turned cold and a bit rainy. That's fine with me, I quite enjoy the gloomy weather. You are one of my favorite artists and it was a real treat to see you at CTN this year. Perhaps one day I will get to animate some of your crazy motor-birds!

Hello Florian!
ReplyDeleteI'm an illustrator in the fashion business, doing prints like the one you did :) For the moment, I'm working for a company in Laval, Quebec but working hard on a freelance career! With hope of not sounding too much like a groupie here, I have to say that you are definitely a great inspiration to me. I missed the chance to buy your t-shirt so I hope I get the chance to win one of your signed art :)
Oh! and it's pretty warm here in Ste-Adèle, Quebec. Looking forward too some colder and snowier (can I even say that?! haha) weather :)
Thanks! and have a great day/evening/night/morning!
I live in sunny Los Angeles and I recently escaped from jail.
ReplyDeleteHey Florian, it is a cool summer here in Australia. Roughly 32 degrees Celsius which is 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit, should warm up in January. Big fan of your blog, thanks for designing the t-shirt. Can't wait for mine to arrive!

Hola Florian!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Yves Meza, I'm from Venezuela, but currently living in Australia, I'm a illustrator working in a toy company and I also design my own Tees :) when I am not busy with work.
I've been following u for over 3 years by now, and I have to say that your work it is inspirational! and more than that it has the power to take me back to that stage when I was a kid dreaming big every time I watched a cool drawing, comic strip, ect. I used to try to put the whole movie together out of a static image.
So thank u to load my head with great material, and I am not talking only about your drawings but also for the good info that u share with us through your blog.
You and many other artists around the web keep my going and dreaming even bigger.
From Venezuela I've come as far as Autralia and all thanks to a couple of hundred pencils sharpened :)
Long life Drawing! hehe
PS. Sorry If my English got messy at some point. English it's my second language and still working hard to improve it
