Bunny laundering movie

you ask why are they doing laundry...they are after all naked! And I say simply this... because they can... because they can.

Lori Nix, photographer

I found Lori Nix works while out blog surfing… it was love at first sight! She is a photographer with roots in Kansas but also strong ties to her apartment in an other state. The world comes to Lori via the models she builds. I have long been a fan of post apocalypse themes, and this is no exception.

She creates dioramas based on disasters real and fictive, then photographs them… the images are surreal not to mention beautiful. Truly a must see!

0401

At 0401 tonight there will be a total eclipse of the moon over Sweden… bit too foggy to see it but last time I got a great picture (seen above). My camera is not professional but I still think it’s pretty and I did catch some of the red glow!

preparing for movie magic...sketch

Had so much fun yesterday, I was helping my friend with the puppets and green screen for her movie assignment. Here we are preparing… she is going to have a giant ant attack Stockholm! … Was feeling a bit down for not making the mail me art book… But this movie magic, made my week! Great when you have nice friends to be creative with!

moomins for Monday Artday

I read these children’s books when I was all grown… but I simply love them! And Tove Jansson illustrations are as imaginative as her stories! So here is my illo in her style (although she does it better!)

one of those weeks...

Been having one of those weeks where you fall out of love with every project before it’s done, hence I am struggling with my bat illustration layout… but I think I know how to fix it in the meantime here is a really old line drawing I did… painted it in acrylics but don’t remember where the finished work ended up, think I gave it away… oh well goodnight, don’t let the bed bugs bite!

bat stage 22

Part of my bat-man montage... this is a line drawing I did of a bat fetus at the 22nd stage of development.

preliminary sketch... Pig flamingo

I have some ideas brewing… but none fully put to ink… yet!
I offer this quick doodle for now… a sneak peek into the life of a pig-flamingo in its natural habitat!

semel day

Today is a very special day in Sweden… well not really but it does have an official pastry! The “semla” is a sweet dough bun with cardamom, almond paste and whipped cream (and sort of looks like in my illo)! Wanted to color this one but been too busy today!
The bunny fairies job is to sprinkle the powdered sugar on top.

sideshow...

"The Really Real Frog Band! Real Frogs!" Outfitted with miniature clarinets, drums, and other instruments are a band of stuffed amphibians. Has Reynolds gotten any complaints from the tip?
"No. They'd look at it, they'd say, 'Do these frogs play?'
and I'd say, 'Well, they used to.'
'Are they real frogs?'
'They're real frogs.'
'Why don't they play?'
'They're dead'"
(Taylor 1997, 22-23).
Alas, I do not recall the name of the site I got this text from… but I Hope you enjoy the picture it inspired.
