Horse droppings, warmth and laughter

Dearest brother.

This weekend we have had the joyous opportunity to visit the best of friends in Simrishamn. We have been blessed with nice weather on our daily walks, as well as the great taste of Helena's cinnamon buns, which both you and Niklas unfortunately missed out. 

I already yearn to go back, there's just a certain feeling of content there you don't wish to be without...

Of course, we have spent some time wondering of what you and Niklas have been up to, how you are feeling and what your future plans are -but I bet you knew that already : )

Close your eyes and feel the warmth and laughter we've shared during this weekend, for there was enough to fill both of you, too.

Autumn

Dedicated to my dearest brother.

The time has come for the leaves to turn from green towards warmer gradients such as red, yellow and orange. You can feel the change in the air, how the crisp wind awakens certain parts within you that has been in a peaceful slumber during the summer. Typical autumn days with a clear blue sky as well as a warming sun accomplished by colder temperatures never fails to put a smile on my face and bring out the greatest of pure hap

piness.

I share these photographs with you in the hope that you will be able to feel it too.

The world is full of...

...Inspiration!

You certainly don't need to look far ahead to find it in massive amounts. Quite often I find myself by the computer in a search for some kind of kick. That sounds weird, doesn't it? There's no need to worry though, the kick I am writing about is a mere state of being filled with joy, energy and the aspiration to really create something -just for the fun of it.

I guess you could call it a hobby of mine; to scan through the world of the internet to discover new rabbit holes and jump into them headfirst. I love the journey that introduces me to new artists and methods, facts or tips that widens my own look at things; words that are combined in such harmony they make you believe they are actually moving freely like a river, or how an artist with only a few simple lines can make a character come alive as it actually breathed.

Recently an artist I am very fond of introduced me to a place where all kinds of brilliant people welcomed us outsiders to get a glimpse of how their workspace looks like. Perhaps it sounds odd to you, but for me it is so inspiring to see the difference in each persons way of decorating their own place, what makes them motivated and really where, the magic they are making, happens. Some may be surrounded by loads of stuff but still choose to call it their own "creative chaos" (I adore that expression!), whilst other need clean spaces around them in order for their brain to be able to work correctly.

What I truly realise while browsing and discovering, is the importance of there being no "right" nor "wrong" way to make art. It's the ability to experiment and dare to challenge yourself that enables you to grow, hopefully you will also enjoy, if not the whole process, the feeling you experience after reaching the finish line. But remember; it's first when you've truly been below the surface that you know how fresh air really feels like.

Oh man, I sure do sound like a wiseacre, don't I?

Musica' everyone ;D

Music! I so hope it'll work. . .

I noticed that my last update was in March, so it's about time for a new one =)

I've started a new school, I guess you call it Highschool in english. I wasn't that nervous the first day and that is very rare to be me. My class contains 32 or maybe 33 pupils. This is kinda big if you would compare to my last class with 16 pupils, but it really isn't! I love it, everyone is so nice, you can be who you are, dress the way you want without getting mean comments. Not that I've heard any comments about me before, but the reason for that can be that I've never stood out much with my clothes. I don't do it now either, but if I wanted to, I could.

I think I've developed quite a bit during theese two and a half months I've gone to this school. With my drawing I mean ^^

Deviantart is my home, kinda. It' such a great source for inspiration, I love it!

*Long Time no see*

Hello again!

It's been quite a while since last time ;) What can I say? I've been busy.
Right now I'm longing for vacation, which I will have in four (?) days =D But one thing I really miss is my Photoshop CS2. We were 'cleaning' the computer, which frankly means that we dumped everything we didn't want in the garbagecan....And no, I didn't dump my dear Photoshop there myself. I just kinda forgot about it, and the only thing that I saved was my pictures. Heh, I guess I thought that Photoshop always would be on the computer, I'm such a baaaka! And the thing is that it seems that it's when I don't have PS that I really need it, I've been sitting on my lazy bum for too long now, and yesterday I finally drew a sketch which I planned on colouring in PS. You can say that it took me some time to realise that it was gone ^^'

Okay, now you know my current feelings, which, aren't very interesting at all, for you that is ; P Oh well, it was nice to write something!

Ah, wish me good luck now, next week I'll be of to Sälen. (If you don't live in sweden you probably don't know what that place is.....hmmm, well, snow exists there, so it's a place were you can go skiing =D ) *Such a good explainer* xD

Okay, and now I'll mention one good thing that I've done today: . . .um, I answered all the questions on my english exam =D That's gooood =)

See ya!!

Music! And other...:P

Music, Music and Music!! What would you do without it? I'm listening to music most of the time, in school, while reading and drawing, by the computer, while training, when I'm going to sleep..etc <.<' "Okay, um isn't that all the things your life contains? "Yes!"
"Soo, that means your life depends on music?"
"Yes! "
"...Weirdo, you can't like listen to music 24/7!"
"Why not?"
"Well duuh! You can't listen to it while you bathing or at dinner (your parents would freak out dummy!)"
"Sure I can listen to music while bathing or eating!"
"You can? Man, you ain't got any rules where you live?"
"Well of course I do!"
"Then, how? Just answer! *irritated*"
"It's easy! It just goes aroung inside of my head! You know; 'I wonder how, I wonder why yesterday..."
"Please! Don't tell me that's it!? Why, I've wasted my time for this?"
"It was you who wanted to know it that badly, don't blame me."
"Hmph.." *walks away mumbling mean words*

So, yeah, I dunno why I posted such a weird conversations between me and.....um, you know who right? Well of course you do! Hahaa....^^;
Okay, what I really want to point out with this post is that I've changed my Headthingy! Wohoo!
