Opening

Finally!

Weekword

This weeks weekword was "wonderland" and Lea picked it. Go over to her place to see the other participants for the week! I did what some people did last week, I cheated a bit. I didn´t really have time to draw something so I´m showing you our poster (myrkott). I didn´t draw all of it, we are four that draws for Myrkott. The theme that we had for this poster was "the land at the end of the rainbow", aka: wonderland.
(Klick for bigger)
Have a great weekend!

Pre-opening

Today it´s was a pre-opening of the exhibition for the media and VIP guest. I was there, in my dress, feeling kind of lost.

Great Kristin!

What would I do without Kristin, and what would this project do without her? The other day she helped me hang my stuff at the museum, I´m so grateful and soooo afraid of heights...

Just another tuesday!

Playing around, working with my portfolio. Feeling unispired.

How I work, part 3

Alexandra asked me how I work with my illustrations when I combine both drawing by hand and the computer. Here is the answer:
I had an idea so I began drawing in illustrator, sadly I don´t have a vacom board so I used the mouse (but on friday I will get a board cause my father is giving me one as a graduation gift:)

Then the squirrel needed a tail. This was a drawing that I made for myrkott and that I had scanned on my computer. Usually I draw small drawings, scan them and take away the background in photoshop, then I put them in a kind of library on the computer. The Library I use for different kind of work. Sometimes, when needed, I draw new things and add to the library.
I placed the "tail" drawing in illustrator and then rotated it, scaled and copied it until it looked as a tail.

Finally the tree needed some leaves. I had this old rose drawing, from last summer, I vectorized it in illustrater by using the "live trace" tool and then "cleaned it up" a bit. then I used it as I used the previous drawing, scaled, copied...

HDK ark-party!

Last night we had our graduation party, today I´m kind of tired and very happy that it´s sunday... Hope you had a good weekend!

Weekword: home

Alexandra is this weeks weekword finder, and her word was "home". My very first thought was a squirrel sitting with his beechnut. Something like: "wherever I lay my hat, thats my home".
Other participants are: Aimee, Jenna, Fruenswerk, Andrea, Nathalie, Esti, Kristi, Sandra, Aris, Thereza and Lea.

...........

Had a great day with the kids, now I just need to do the boring stuff: take care of lundry and do the dishes...

Long weekend!

Last preparations for the exhibition, pretty scary to cut in my vinyls. Outside the museum they have put up the poster... only about a week to vernissage!
Happy long weekend!

Pink snow

It looks as if pink snow came down outside, no more cherrytree bloom this year. It´s sad that it´s such short period.

Today I received the last part of my Moo order, a sticker book. I will tag Gothenburgh!

Monday buisness!

I have been putting together a presentation of my work for a minimarket at Röhsska, starting tomorrow. Also doing some serious cutting, finishing my rug. And seeing my own knees (on the poster) everywhere!
Now I´m trying to realax (with this) a little cause tomorrow I´m going to an interview. Tell you more later!

Weekword

Aimee came up with this weeks weekword, "fake". I had a hard time drawing the word, cause everything that I draw is like a fake version of the real thing. Like my butterflies.
Other participants this week:
alexandra, aris, doug, esti, fruenswerk, jenna, thereza, and valentina.

Welcome Leo!

My mother is in town because of little Leos entrance to this world. Today we went to see the little miracle. It´s amazing how small newborns are, I can´t remember that my kids ever where that small!
