On my walk through the neighborhood this morning, I was
still thinking about Florian Afflerbach, the German urban sketcher and
architect who was killed in a motorcycle accident Thursday at the age of 35.
Using the name Flaf on Flickr, he
was well-known for his fabulous sketches of cars and motorcycles. Even though I
never met him, I felt his enthusiasm for urban sketching and especially his
passion for motor vehicles in every drawing he made.
A few blocks from home, a pale blue Vespa was parked in a
driveway. Thanking Flaf for inspiration, I sketched it in the summer-like
sunshine. On a day like this, just breathing the floral-scented air makes me
feel lucky to be alive.
Lovely job on the motorcycle, Tina...and a nice tribute to Florian. I did have the good fortune to have met him sketching in NYC when he visited. He was a nice guy...so sad to lose him.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joan. It's such a loss.
