mokii can still remember the first time i met jon. i saw him in the hallway of a small art room in hamburg. i was sure i had seen his face in a magazine and painted it. so i introduced myself with: “you’re a model, aren’t you?” everyone around us started laughing “wow, what a turn-on!” i realized how my words could have been understood and blushed.<br> a few years later, i was actually allowed to paint jon and i’m very happy about it. in this picture, he draws the feeding passages of a leaf miner (miniermotte) with chalk in a rocky gorge. thank you dear jon!<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/moth?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moth</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cryptic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cryptic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/whispering?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#whispering</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rockymountains?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rockymountains</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hidden?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hidden</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hideout?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hideout</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/jon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/moki?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moki</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/painting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#painting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/size?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#size</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/relation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#relation</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sheltered?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sheltered</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/howtodisappear?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#howtodisappear</a><br> this painting is published in the art book HOW TO DISAPPEAR. the next art book will be called MEANDER and be released in summer 2024 by <a class="u-url mention" href="https://pixelfed.social/hatjecantzverlag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@hatjecantzverlag</a>
