With feathers in her hair

Here is a sketch I finnished yesterday. I definately have to start drawing with graphite more often again. I need to buy a sketchbook too. I had forgotten how fun it is to draw on paper ^^.

Hello kitty prototype mask

Today I was thinking of making another cardboard kitty again since I had another big piece of cardboard but once I was about to start I just felt way to tired for it :/. But i kept playing around with the white paper I had and got the idea of making a Hello Kitty mask. i tried alot of different shapes before I settled for this one. For a second I thought I could make masks for all of the kids, untill I remembered ”Noooo waaay, there’s gonna be freaking 40+ kids there!!!”.  But iI liked this one so much that I think I will make a new and better one for my cousin Carla (Belens mother). I think she’d love to have one ^^. But for the next one I make ill have to place the eye-holes alot better, I could hardly see in this one. Although… her eyes might not have the same separation width as mine.. hmm. Tricky.

From all of this Hello Kitty-thinking Im already getting tired of her. She’s still cute and all but now whenever Im drawing her Im totally serious, she doesnt make me giddy anymore. Im becoming Hello Kitty – resistant. Tomorrow after work I’ll be going to help my cousin and her family to set up all the hello kitty ornaments and stuff they have for the party on saturday. This is starting to look like such a ”sweeet six-teeen” :D.

Hello kitty party preparations | Part 2

I finally finnished the big cardboard – Hello Kitty! I just drew the black outlines on it, and I must say… it turned out pretty awesome ^^.

Now I’ll just try not to mess it up in some way. Like scratch it or accidentaly drop it on wet acrylic color. It feels like the type of thing that always happens once Ive finnished a big project.

By the way, it was Belens real birthday today so we went there this evening to celebrate it with only the closest family. She was so extremely cute that I felt I had to add a photo of her here too. Happy first year little cutie!

Hello Kitty party preparations | Part 1

Hi again people ^^

This weekemd I will be attending my little cousins Hello Kitty themed birthday party. She will turn 1 year old. :D

So as you can imagine she wasnt the one wanting the Hello Kitty theme, It’s more her mother thats inlove with the cute Kitty character :D.

About three hours ago I started working on a 70cm tall cardboardpapered Hello Kitty. I thought they could have her at the door greeting  the kids to the party :D. I tried posting hours ago but something was wrong, dont know if it was kontain or my firefox messing around :S. Anyways, Ive gotten quite far now in the cutting process. She’s totally cut out now, Now I’ll have to start painting her. Ive got some issues tho, I dont have enough white paint so I think i’ll have to paste white paper on the areas that need to be white. Hope it turns out ok. :/

I’ll post again once its done!

By the way! A fun fact: The dress that Belen is wearing on the pictures is a dress that my grandmother sew for me  when I was as as little as Belen ^^

Lovely summer days

A day at Tantolunden in Stockholm. I love that park, theres always a great atmosphere because everyone is there for the same reason – To spend a day in the sun having fun with friends :]. but the next best thing about it is all of the airballons flying right above you all the time!! niiiceness :D

Granny logos

Last week I entered some logo contests on 99designs!

I usually dont do logos and have often thought that typography is an art i know nothing about. Well after grinding on several different logos for different contests I learnt sooo much! Im slowly learning not to hesitate to throw myself into something I know nothing about, we all have to start somewhere! ^^

And now regarding these logos :D. The contest holder was a Grandma that wanted to take young kids that usually sat by their computers or infront of the tv out in the wild to let them get to know nature. I thought it was a beautiful idea, and it wasnt anti-tech either, she just thought kids also needed to get to know nature. ^^ I made a couple of more designs too but none of them won. It was fun to discover how fun logo-making can be tho, I’ll definately keep entering new contests :].

BBQ and lots of chihuahuas

Yesterday I went on a huge barbeque trip with my family and plenty of other families from my dads football club.  One of the guys there brought his three chihuahuas (who I’ve heard are models ^^), then some other guy brought his chihuahua too and later on my cousin brought his crazy little mixed breed ”chihuahua” called ”Peluchin” who ran around like a tornado :D so it was a chihuahua reunion by the end of the day. We had Lula with us and i was scared she wouldnt get along with the other dogs but she was great! She usually barks at dogs or just ignores them but yesterday she was reallycurious and happy running around with them.

At one time Peluchin roared at Lula and she immediately got on her back and showed herself submissive (as a survival reflex) but later on that day she was chasing him around showing that shes the boss. He wouldnt even get close to her by the evening ^^.  Go Lula!
