During the last six months I have been away on a foregin exchange program in Scotland. What this means in relation to Deviantart, is that I have not been able to go onto this website at all. I have been stranded with censured internet, since I was under 18, and therefore no Deviantart for me!

My birthday was last weekend however and I finally came of age and all that. There was no drinking on my part, but now I do get access to the real internet, yay! I think this preference of mine tells you quite a lot about my life...

But now I'm back on this site, and I'm so excited. My inbox was rather flooded with messages and stuff, but I should get around to sort them out during the next week. I'll sadly not be able to post any digitalart pieces, since I do not have a tablet in this country, but I have made some traditional things that will be going up on the web soon enough

I have recently had an urge to delete all of my old things of deviantart, since I think they do not mirror my art of today. But then again I though that it might be a good thing to keep them anyways. Because when I see the  professionals of deviantart, and all the amazing work they do, I cannot feel but as if I suck. But if I had been able to see work they did earlier on in their progress, I think I would get more inspired, and feel as if their level of art is reachable. So. I am keeping all my old things, however ghastly some of them may be, because then my progress will be documented, and that is a pretty large thing on deviantart right?

And maybe my journey will inspire someone in the future, because I know that if I practise enough I can reach any goal with my art.


End of ramble...

So this is basically just a little something I write to procrastinate from my homework, just a small update on my life and art in general.

I'm actually doing better than good. Life so just so awesome at the moment, and I am enjoying every minute of it. In short, I go to the perfect school, have awesome nerdy and silly friends, I'm going to get to go to Great Britain as an exchange student next autumn, and I couldn't be happier. I've also started taking a new artclass, and it is a lot more challenging and exciting than my last course. I've really gotten inspired by it, and last weekend I think I drew about 9 dragon pictures in full size....  I'm also starting up in mudbox, so perhaps you*ll get to see some of that work in the future. I've also promised that I'll start uploading more stuff here, since I'm quite lacking in that area now.

Hi guys!

I dunno if anyone will ever read this, but I thought it was about time for another jornal entry...

Firstly, I'd like to say hello to all my new followers whom started following me this fall. It's such an strange feeling knowing that there's people who'd actually like to see my art. Just a year ago I  had barely gotten my tablet, I didn't really know that much about traditional art either and it's been a great journey. It's just crazy to think of all the things I've learn in such a short period of time.

So hello new people! Thanks for everything really   A bit of a reminder though, I don't regulary only post digital drawings of people, I do loads of stuff, just so you are preapared...


On another note, I'm on my first schoolbreak now, and I must say that it feels great. Not only the break, but my new school. See, in Sweden you choose to specialise yourself in different programs in year 10 (age 16), which I now have. I didn't choose art, I picked science and biology, and while the art program surely would have been awesome, I'm very happy where I am. Actually I get to do art anyway, because my extra art clases finally have started.

Best Wishes and Don't forget to be awesome!

You know what is compleatly amazing but still kind of annoying and timeconsuming? Getting obsessed  with new things. And recently I have in some strange way found not one new fandom to love but four. And it's great and all, but I really don't have time for it.
The new fandoms include;

Dr Who
Sherlock
Downtown abbey
Glee

And together with my old obsessions...

Startrek
Harry Potter
Lord of the Rings
Bones

They make quite a list. And I really love them, but when I look at fanart or read fanfictions, or chat with other obsessed people, I can't help but to feel a sting of pain. I feel like I'm letting my other fandoms down, especially HP since it is what started it all. Yeah, I'm strange like that...

Well whatever... This is such a strange and random update, but at least it's an update! yay!
