"I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly,

or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?"

Zhuangzi







A dear friend of mine asked me if I could make her a painting which I gladly did! This is the result. I used water colors when I made the flowers and butterflies. Then I colored it in photoshop. The painting is 40x40 cm. I hope you enjoy it!

"If you asked me for my New Year Resolution, it would be to find out who I am."

Cyril Cusack











I hope You have had a great Holiday! These photos were taken New Years Eve. This was one of the first winter days in Sweden, which is really unusual. It was a perfect day. My family and I where finally all together. It was one of those days when you wish you could press repeat and replay it over and over again.





I'm sorry I havn't been blogging for a while, I'll do better, but I'm afraid this spring will be really busy. School will take a lots of my time, but I will blogg as often as I can.

"I'm a dreamer. I have to dream and reach for the stars, and if I miss a star then I grab a handful of clouds. "

Mike Tyson





I love Mike Tyson's quote. I have big dreams. Sometimes I wish I was braver. Brave enough to fulfill them or at least try. Sometimes I do fulfill my dreams but for the most times I don't. This illustration is inspired by dreams and wishes.
I made the last colorversion in this post first but I was not satisfied with the colors so I made a new version which reflected my intentions better.

"It is every woman's dream to be some man's dream woman".

Barbra Streisand

Inspired by Love. I drew this illustration the day before I was going to the premiere of Breaking Dawn part 1 which explain the love-is-in-the-air thing. It's a week ago I watched Breaking Dawn and my crazy teenage crush for Robert Pattinson has finally faded (happends every premier). Embarrassing but true. Hope you like the illustration.

"The more you'll dress up the more fun you'll have."

Brian Molko

This illustration is inspired by tonight's outfit. It will be a night out with the girls. First we will have a cozy dinner and thereafter we are going to watch the premiere of Breaking Dawn. Can't wait!



I have had a really hard time to decide what I wanted to wear tonight. After I tried on a hundred different things I decided that a classic black dress will fit perfect. I will also wear my Michael Kors shoes (for the first time) that I bought in LA six months ago. I hope I will be able to walk in them!!! I'm matching the shoes with my favorite necklace. Have a great night. xx

"Art is the only way to run away without leaving home."

Twyla Tharp







I'm a social person. I love to be with my friends, have fun and talk all night long. But I also love to stay home. Read a good book or drawing an illustration while I'm listen to music. These are things that makes me happy.

"A drawing is simply a line going for a walk."

Paul Klee







Last week was hectic. I had an exam and I really haven't had any time to study for it at all, and I also had two seminars. Somehow I did it but I feared for a moment my head would explode and that wouldn't have been a pretty sight. What is better then a long walk when you have a lots of things on your mind?

"God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December. "

James M. Barrie







I Love the idea of ​​dress feminine. I like to buy skirts and I have a lots of them in my closet. But I never wear them. My favorite skirt for the moment is a long, flowery, very romantic skirt which I bought two months ago. I think I've worn the skirt a few times. Hope you like this illustration which is inspired by the only skirt in my closet I worn more then once (I might be exaggerating a bit, but you get the point). Enjoy!

"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls."

Pablo Picasso







It's almost two months since I drew an illustration. But yesterday I was walking past the bookstore and got a sudden desire to draw. I went in to the store and bought a new sketchbook. Today I did actually draw and I realized that I missed it a lot! Hope you like it!

"Sometimes I lay, under the moon, and thank God I'm breathing, then I pray, don't take me soon, cause I am here for a reason, sometimes in my tears I drown, but I never let it get me down, so when negativity surrounds, I know some day it'll all, turn around, because, all my life I've been waiting for, I've been praying for, for the people to say, that we don't wanna fight no more, they'll be no more wars, and our children will play, one day, it's not about, win or lose cause, we all lose, when they feed on the souls of the innocent, blood drenched pavement, keep on moving though the waters stay raging, in this maze you can lose your way, it might drive you crazy but don't let it faze you no way, sometimes in my tears I drown, but I never let it get me down, so when negativity surrounds, I know some day it'll all turn around." Lyrics by Matisyahu.
