Some students feel tempted to use 'Brain-Doping'


You can look at it in many ways:
1. why not use doping an reach your true potential 2. Doping is cheating 3. Why should you give medicine to healthy student 4. If it's not (that) bad for your health, why not give it a go 5. You are setting a bad example ....etc. etc...

Akihabara Electric Town in Tokyo



In Electric city (Akihabara) Tokyo I saw a bunch of these role-play girls, dressed up as maids, standing all over the place handing out flyers. They were kinda shy and didn't like to be taken pictures of .... but sketching them didn't seem to bother them as much.

Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo



I have sketched different people at the Tokyo Fish Market early in the morning.... some are checking out the quality of the Blue Marlins others are safety guards, visitors (like me). The Tokyo Fish Market is the biggest in the world.

Sanjūsangen-dō temple in Kyoto



I couldn't take pictures inside Sanjūsangen-dō temple, but sketchbook drawing was allowed .... so I tried to sketch as many different sculptures as possible within the 25 minuttes we had inside the temple. There were almost 900 scultures inside, many were identical thoughh ... so I picked the ones that fascinated med the most.

Shimogamo Shrine Kyoto




The third place I visited: Shimogamo Shrine .... huge and vermillion colored! I loved the fox sculptures and the gates.

Kinkaku-ji Temple/ The Golden Temple - Kyoto




This is the second temple I visited: The Golden Temple: Kinkaku-Ji in Kyoto. Me and my group of danish cartoonists were not the only danes visiting the temple that day, - the danish prince Joachim was there with his wife, princess marie, and a delegation.

Royanji Temple Kyoto



When I visited Kyoto late October I saw two Budhist temples and two Shinto Shrines. This is the first one I saw: Royanji Temple that has both a rockgarden and the Kyoyochi Pond.
