Carlos!?

A drawing I drew yesterday while waiting for the train to Skövde, and finished (if I can call it finished...) while waiting for the train to take me home! The picture of it is a bit distorted since I tried to get a good pic of it with my crappy camera, but as the camera is crappy, so was the outcome.
I named the guy Carlos or Claudio, I haven't decided yet. I had the name Claudio in mind when I started the drawing, but as I kept on going, I just kept thinking CARLOS CARLOS CARLOS... where the heck did that name come from anyways!?

Carlos? WHO ARE YOU, SNEAKING UP ON ME LIKE THAT? CARLOS???

Second schoolday!

Okay, so, school has started and everything's cool... first day yesterday and embarrassingly enough I agreed to answer some questions a man from the TV4 Skaraborg news wanted to ask new students at the university college.
I, err... I wonder why I didn't remember, at that very moment, why I hate answering questions when you don't get time to think through your answers.

Anyway, here's the url to the clip:

I sound like a five year old kid when I say things like "I hope everyone's nice giggle giggle" kind of... err.

BUT!

I think I'm gonna love it there, I am so looking forward to start studying for real, enough with the get-to-know-eachother things for this week, I wanna study!
I think I'm gonna order some books from adlibris later today, and then put together my shelf for shoes I bought very cheap at Netto.
A good thing is, it's very small so I think it will fit in my closet when I move to my own apartment.
I also bought a bowl and some smaller bowls and four cups at Netto, very cute and retro:ish and I fell in love with them the moment I laid eyes on them!

Also featuring in this post is a picture of my lovely notebook I bought at Lagerhaus. Owls and some more owls on it!
QTE!

Josefine, 7yrs.

This is obviously how I thought I looked when I was 7 years old.

I'm going to bed now, not because I'm tired but because I'm so cold uhuhuhu!

Club Nintendo.

Haha how funny, I didn't even know I still kept this membercard, but it turned out I did! I remember how happy I was when my mom let me become a member of the Nintendo-club when I was a kid. You received a magazine and other cool stuff, and I they had this hotline you could call for tips and help for Nintendo-games. I remember always calling them when I played Banjo-Kazooie.
I was quite young and I wished for an english dictionay for christmas just so that I could understand the videogames I played. My playing-as-I-translated went quite smooth until I came to Gobi's Valley in Banjo-Kazooie, the one where you meet the sphinx with a cold. I didn't understand that he actually HAD a cold until I was older, so I tried to translate what he said but it was all in vain, of course. I think that was the first time I called the club Nintendo hotline, haha!

I also remember they had a contest where you were to draw a picture of the Majora's Mask Zelda-game and you could win this awesome kind of collectors edition package of the game. I love and always have loved Zelda, so I entered the contest but instead of, like, taking my enrty into the competition, they published the fucking drawing among the other letters kids sent in. I was so sad.

I think I'm gonna continue sorting through my stuff now, I don't think I will have as much time to do it once the school's started and then I (hope) time will just flyyyy by and suddenly it's december 1st!

heuheu!

Waiting for train...

... did some drawings and sketches to try and keep the skills fresh every day. Bah!

Cute!

I bought these lovely salt&pepper cellars on sale today, they will go perfect with my red lamp and toaster in my new kitchen!
Spent my day in Skövde with my mom, ate the tastiest hamburger ever and found THE showercurtain, I mean THE!!... but I have no money so, sigh.

Farm girl.

I'm trying really hard not to use any outlines.. it turns out to be incredibly hard for me!

December 1st is the day!

Yay, I signed the papers on my apartment today and will be moving in on december 1st! Happyhappyhappy! Gonna head down to the fabricshop some day to see if I can find a nifty brown fabric to make a nice couch cover for my very ugly grey couch. Gonna match with some orange and mint green pillows as well as a beige blanket.

I should have spent my day with my boyfriend watching Battlestar Galactica but job swiftly called him in so I've got no special plans for today, sigh!
Although tomorrow me and my mom are going on a trip to Skövde, to check out the town and just... hang out.. I guess? Haha!

Not many days left now!

In exactly a week I will embark on a new journey of my life, I will for the first time in my life study at a university college. It is both exciting and frightening at the same time if I may say so, I mean... are the people there nice? Are they much older or even younger than I am, do they all live there, and so on. I mean, first of all, I will be commuting. I hope at least some of the other students in my class-to-be are going to commute as well so I won't be the only one possibly showing up late for seminaries.
I wonder how much the course litterature will cost. I have incredibly many questions and I won't get any answers 'til next monday at the very earliest. I hate waiting like this and not be able to do anything about it, I can't really relax at all. I really, really hope I will enjoy it there, that the people are nice and that I get along well with them, I would hate if I would come to feel like I did during the time I spent at the highschool of Fryshuset. I wanted so badly to like the school and overall, like it there, but I didn't and so I quit.
I feel like university college isn't something you just quit, I spent, not really but almost, three years working really hard to get the grades that would guarantee my spot on that particular university course, so I can't just quit it if I don't make all that many friends or if the teachers suck. I think. Maybe I can, but then I would probably regret that later on in life.
Either way I could really go for a kebab wrap right now and I can't afford one.

That sucks.

Raiding is tedious...

.. really tedious. Just some small doodles done during raiding!

Some late night drawings.

I'm sitting here at my laptop again, it's starting to become a habit I think. Staying awake until 6.30 a.m. so that I'm awake when my dear boyfriend comes over from his night-shift and then sleep until like 2 p.m. Not good, not good at all. I really need to put an end to that routine, but I'm not even tired right now, not even a little!
Jerry Springer is on TV and I just can't help but to enjoy watching it, teee hee!

Also, about the apartment, I didn't get to sign the contract yesterday for reason unknown but according to Tegelstaden, everything is settled and I will be signing the papers on monday instead. I regret not taking any pictures or anything while I visited the apartment because I have almost already forgotten what the wallpapers looked like...
Will be hard to buy matching curtains when I don't remember.
Been checking out IKEAs webpage and found a lot of stuff that I want though, especially for the kitchen.
A red/white striped carpet that I just love!

I wanna move in right now!

And so it seems...

.. I will be moving to my own apartment in late november! Too bad she hadn't cleaned the apartment when we got it shown to us because it was really hard to imagine only the rooms and wallpapers without all her furniture and stuff lying around.
But they will switch out the stove as well as the bathroom cabinet so I think it will look great in the end!
It's on the 3rd floor with a balcony facing west which means that I will be able to sit there and enjoy the sunset, although the balcony lacked a roof.. not that fun during rainy days.
Neither did the apartment have a bathtub, not that I'm using the one in our current apartment that often, but I suppose I will miss taking a bath with lit candles from time to time.

But all in all I'm really happy, I will be signing the contract tomorrow and some trips to IKEA would be nice!

Now I'm gonna have a cup of coffee, strong coffee, and then I'm gonna log onto WoW!

I'm so thrilled!

Today at 2 p.m. I'm gonna have a look at an apartment, and I'm so nervous. I hope it's pretty! All I know is that it is located very close to the train station which is a good thing since I will be commuting to Skövde for studies starting this fall. I also heard it's got a balcony which is a must since I have my lovely pet cat (who also happens to be my best friend), Kevin Krösus. He's an in-door cat who loves to sit on the balcony in our current apartment, gazing out over the streets.
The rent, if I remember correctly, wasn't that high neither, about 2700-2900 sek, which is totally agreeable for an apartment with one room and kitchen in my opinion.

I can hardly force myself to go to bed now that I am this excited, haha!

I think I'm gonna continue reading Roadside Picnic and hope I fall asleep, I've gotta finish that book sometime, I just don't want it to end so I try to read it as seldom as possible.

Good night!

Happy Amber!

I usually get very hyped on drawing when I watch TV, I don't know why really. Maybe it's because the voices on the TV is tricking me into believing I have company, which makes it easier to relax. Sounds weird! Any way, tonight I was watching Discovery Travel & Living. On air was 'What not to wear', I don't know if I really honestly enjoy that show or what it is, but I use to watch it when the TV's on.
I then really, reaaally felt like drawing something so I went to my room, picked up my Wacom and sat down by my laptop. Something that I know I'm not very good at is painting withOUT the use of outlines. I get kind of freaked out just by the thought of it - not knowing where one colour should stop and another take in.
So I took a shot at it, at first I got really freaked out, haha, almost cut it off, but I tried my best to finish the piece and this is how it turned out.




I'm not quite sure how long it took, (for some reason I just can't seem to keep track of the time when I'm painting) but a wild guess would be a couple of hours.
I'm not that satisfied with how the hands turned out, but I really like her shirt/thing.

Changes to come.

As the headline implies, changes are to come to this so called blog. I will, a part from some content that will be of other nature, only post things related to my progression as an artist. Ideas and links, as well as finished art and sketches, will be posted from now on.
All this as an attempt to keep this blog alive, for others, but mostly for myself to keep track on my progression!
I will try my best to stick to english as well, good for me, good for others.

Enjoy!
