Hi everybody,

It is almost a year ago since my last journal, it was the August journal of 2008

I was very busy lately with school and other stuff. In the last quarter of my last college year I took a drawing course where I made several drawings. I took a picture of two of them with my camera (The drawings where to big to scan, A2 size) You can find them in my gallery. Please have a look and feel free to comment

I also went to Hong Kong in May. I found a nice Art Store and bought a lot of new copic colors and refill ink It was a lot cheaper there than here in the Netherlands.

The next few months are less busy for me, so I think I have some time to make some drawings again I will upload them ASAP on DeviantArt off course !

That's all I have to say for now, so ...

Happy drawing everybody and see you guys later,

Greetz MankinN
