The Grumpy King

Remember I did some freelance work at Blink before I moved back to Sweden? The short films has now been published and I was roaring with laughter when I saw them!! I love the style using puppets, the humour in it and it feels great that I had the chance to be a small port of it. Dancing Bear is the one I worked on the most if I remember correctly~

Tricky business

I'm tying to find THE perfect hair colour, a lot harder then expected.. Brown is a tricky colour to mix, at least with the "base colours" that I already have. For now a mix between brown (that I've mixed before), yellow and what I normally use as a light skin colour is what seems best.

Let's go!

I've finally started working on one of the commissions on bags that I have piled up. This is the sketch I'm following!

Per wanted a bag with himself, so that's what I'm making.
I've made some changes (the note says "shorter arm") and I'm also adding small details while painting. So far I'm happy with the lines and I'm looking forward to the colouring.

Flashback

Talking about patchwork, some of you may remember the previous ones I've made? I've actually made 3 others!! The first one I made was in school, maybe in 8th grade? I still use it as a bedspread, but it's not so exiting so I won't give you pictures of that!

The second one I made for my first boyfriend on his birthday, he was (and probably still is) a big game nerd. His favourite colour is green so I though this was a perfect gift for him.


This other one my friend Ida, who's also a big fan of games, ordered from me! it was sort of a hell making the pattern right, but in the and I was really happy with it and I still am.


If you want to make one yourself and knows Swedish/understands the pictures, Anna has made an easy guide of how to make patchworks!

Patchwork

Oooh, I'm so exited about the new patchwork I've started on!! I'm trying a new pattern for the patches and now I'm looking for more nice fabrics so I can make fancy combinations~ Think I'll go full out with this sort of flower patterns.


One of my friends is working on her own patchwork and the other one has already finished one, so she helped us with cutting and to pin together pieces.
I really like this sort of things, sitting together and be creative, like my previous entry. It's nice to hang out with people that's in other fun projects or to be in one together.
It reminds me and makes me miss Hyper Island, it was fantastic sitting in a big space where a lot of things was happening! If you wasn't doing anything yourself, you could always go around and look at what the others was doing.


Drawing on the floor

Some time ago (maybe a week or two) I dropped by at Satan vad fräsht!'s apartment. After some fika and lot's of talk Josefine joined us and we began to draw on the floor!


That had done some stuff a few days before I joined


Pernilla had also made some contributions to the paper!

Monday Inspiration

My day have just started, and already I've found two videos that I like! This first one I found on Satan vad fräscht! and it's about the Olympic logo for Rio 2016. It's stuff like these that makes me so impressed and curious about design



The second video I like is from Bobsmade. When I see her do things like this I'm reminded of why I've been following her for so long. I've tried to fill up a whole paper like this some times and it's (at least for me) surprisingly hard to do!
Shit, I would like to have the opportunity and draw on a wall like that..!



Speaking of nothing, I actually dreamt that I did a blogpost tonight!
