Wacom play

Since I was so bored with my drawings yesterday I decided to do something different today.
To be continued...

Gothenburg IS rainy!

Last monday I decided to walk every morning (for atleast one hour) during August, no matter what weather it is. Today it was VERY rany.

Monday blues

Working and feelin uninspired. Feels as if I´m burping out patterns that looks almost the same. Need to get inspired. And have to fix my scanner cause photos of drawings sucks:(
Last night was good, I enjoyed "watchmen". I so, so like superhero stories, can´t help myself!

This was a good link, thank you Henrik!

This weekend

The rest of the weekends in august I´m working, so I´m very happy this one turned out to be such a good one!

Ongoing drawing

Remember this? Now it´s heading this way...
I haven´t managed to work as much as I hoped during the summer. From this autumn I´ll be working as a freelancing illustrator/patterndesigner and graphic designer. I will get help from drivhuset and participating in a project called "Spira". I will tell you more about it when it starts in september. I´m very excited about this and looking forward at getting started:)

Tjörn 4: beach

The good weather has returned to us, it´s looks as if it will be a nice weekend...
I hope u will have one aswell!
This will be my last Tjörn post for now, tomorrow I will give you something fresh!

Tjörn 3: icecream

I scream, you scream, we scream: for icecreme.

Tjörn2: Outside activitys

In sweden there is a saying "det finns inget dåligt väder bara dåliga kläder" which is something like: there is no bad weather just bad cloths.

Tjörn 1: Looking for berries

Finally I´m back! Yesterday I installed my computer again, or my computer, everything is gone so it´s kind of a new computer. It feels so good to be back and I guess I have ALOT of blogs to go through, which I look forward to:)
We spent most of July in a summerhouse on an island called Tjörn, an hours drive outside Gothenburg. Most of the time we had rain but still we had nice family time!

hello from tjörn!

Hello!

.............
Thanks for all the sweet comments on my previous post!
My computer is getting better but all data are lost since the disk crasched, so stupid of me not to make an back-up:(
I´ll be back with glimps of my summer as soon as possible.
................

Off!

Last night my computer crashed! I will take it to a computer doctor tomorrow but I don´t have much hope to get it back anytime soon.
I will be posting randomly when I get a chance and will be back as a "fulltime" blogger at the end of July ---------------------

What was I thinking?! Ofcourse she needs a petterned dress!

I just watched Charlie Kaufmans "Synecdoche, New York ". I think his movies are so beautiful and strange and parts of them I don´t understand, and the strangest thing about that is that it really doesn´t matter that I don´t understand, cause in the end all the pieces come together and :It touched me, deep.

" I know how to do it now. There are nearly thirteen million people in the world. None of those people is an extra. They're all the leads of their own stories. They have to be given their due."

Weekword:surprise

Sandra picked "surprise" as this weeks weekword, I played around with my wacom, still trying to figure out how to draw with it. This was fun, I´m starting to enjoy it:)

Other participants this week are: anairam, alexandra, fruenswerk, aris, aimee and esti .

Took a swim!

We have the best weather right now. Sun, sun, sun! Today me, Kristin and Pernilla went here! I´ll be back with my weekword interpretation later this weekend!

Potholders

Wonderful presents from very proud kids!

same, but different same

Can´t decide if I should work in color or black/white with my newest pattern. What do you think?

Drawing in progress

Cought my son after drawing on my drawing. His explaination: But Mum, it was just black and just a little spot...!

Pippi Longstocking

Här kommer Pippi Långstrump!

Playing

Playing with duplo is great fun. In this house alot of different people live, according to my kids. In the last photo u can se Tintins room and the zebra watching him while he sleeeps is his aunt(!)

Weekword

Jenna came up with this weeks weekword: silence. I´m presenting the opposite! Other participants this week are: anairam, nathalie et cetera, alexandra, fruenswerk, aris, aimee, Sandra, trinsch, and kristi.

Today it´s midsummer eve, last year we celebrated like this, and this. I´m working this year so I´m soon off to work!

I spent the evening going through the kids cloths and put them out for auction at tradera. I feel sad and happy at the same time: nice to get some space and I can´t belive they can´t wear these cloths any more. They have become so big!

To visit the auction, go here!

For the love of strawberries!

Today we had a small midsummer celebration:)
cause I´m working the whole weekend:(

Kalhyggen

I can´t belive what they are doing to the forest, and most of all: why?
After seeing alot of cut forest, kalhyggen, in värmland something is growing in my sketchbook.
