fascinating pictures
Is marvelous to be able to see these photograph. You know, last week, I published in my blog some photos of bigger artists working, to celebrate the international worker day. Thanks to sharing.
I am drooling over the number of art books in your office in that last photo…
I love looking at other people’s workspaces. It’s so refreshing.
It’s incredibly inspirational, too.
These are really great photos – I can’t wait to see what else comes out of your archives!
Super Fotos Hans!
Always love pictures like these – so very inspirational in a strange way.
I like that first one of Andreas at his desk. I like even more that he’s got a photo of Kahl at his desk…posted at his desk. So will I create some sort of uber paradox if I hang this photo of a desk with a photo of a desk at MY animation desk??
great!!
I’m inspired to clean up my damn studio and get some work done!
