Things are getting better I must say. I got a job for the summer, working at the store back home. It's really small so I'll probably know half of the customers there, and be related to a quarter of them LOL. No maybe it's not that small. And the same day I also talked to my grandmother and she said it was okay for me to stay in the cabin they own. So I'll have horses as neighbours and living in the middle of the forest. Just as I like it. I promise to take some pics later so you can see how cute it is. XD.

The day after I got the job I also got another job offer. Isn't that ironic?nothing for three months then two offers at the same time. Must be my lucky week. I also got an apartment in Skara, where I'll be studying this fall(if I get in, but >I'm pretty sure I will). Things are really turning out good. Now I'm just waiting for my job to start so I can move from Gävle down to Lysekil.

On the art front, things are happening. Well at least I have a lot of stuff going on. Nothing big, but a lot of small projects. Like the Dragon Tarot one, I wonder how long it will take for me to finish that one?!. But I will finish it. I will. Sometime LOL.

Sorry for the lack of update. Haven't had any inspiration to write at all lately. But better late than never, right? So I've updated my website some. But I still have a lot to do though. Have a lot of plans for my tutorials for example. And maybe some plans for the design of it. But I guess it doesn't matter much since I really don't have that much visitors anyway. Anybody got a good idea on how to get more visitors?

So in regular life, a lot has happened lately. Me and my boyfriend broke up after a 5 ½ years relationship.. But it was a choice we agreed about so it doesn't feel all bad. Strange though. Haven't been single since I was 16. I also quit the law programme and has now applied for an animal behaviour programme. So I will also move till summer. A lot going on for me right now LOL :P

On the drawing front, nothing new. I keep working on my Dragon Tarot project. Read about it here: Dragon Tarot!

But now, I need to keep cleaning my apartment :P i will try to update a bit more often from now on!

I have the most disturbed cats I tell you. One of them, Pilsner(meaning something similar to beer) has a weird habit of sleeping in odd places. Today I found him in the sink in the bathroom. I mean what the heck? What kind of cat sleeps in the sink? Well, this cat do. And he also sleeps in the bathtub, under the cover, on top of his brother... the list goes on. But I know where his favorite place is. When we go to bed he always sleeps right next to me, preferably cheek to cheek. He's like a little baby. Love that cat! the other one, Peanut, is disturbed too, but in another way. He's always "talking" to people or otherwise making weird noises, or he goes wild and attacks toes, or he just does weird things like trying to sleep in top of the chair back. I mean hello?! it's no room for a cat up there (and so he found out soon enough). but they are also very cute. Anyway, here's the photo of the weirdo cat sleeping in the sink, and his brother... sleeping on the toilet.




Now I need to go to sleep. Got a the huge test that deicdes my grade for this semester in 6 days, gotta study. And besides that I've got a huge 5000x5000 px drawings of two dragons in an airfight laying that I need to work on! :D

nighty night.

Oh it's so great to being able to draw again. After that artblock I've had so much inspiration and it's been so fun to draw again! :d got some pictures laying around now waiting to be colored. :D feels good.

Feeling a bit down about the school-stuff though. Need to study so hard but can't find that ambition in me. I really just give up when it's to hard to be good. Nah, I don't know. It's just that after that heavy critisism I got on my last essay I just feel like I'm crappy at this whole law-stuff. Stupid classmates- they're to smart! ;) (some paradox in there perhaps? LOL)

It would be so nice if i could just be very rich at making doodles all the time, and dragons. Then I would be very happy :D Time for some food and a soccergame on TV now. :D cya!

Yeah, been a while since I wrote here I guess. So what have I been up to really? eum.. got my drivers licence in march, then I've been a slacker all summer, drew a dragon or two. Then artblock for 4 months and then I started at law school in Uppsala this autumn and yeah that's about it. Not much when you look at it like that :D Oh yeah, I've moved too and got two adorable kittens :D

I hope to update some soon again. :D

Been away for a while now, up in a small boring town called Säffle. And then there's been just so much more stuff to do so I haven't really had the time to get any serious work done. But I got som quick pieces done. It's really so, so fun to draw when it's just for fun and no stress or anxiety of achievement what so ever. Love it. So what happened during my travles into the deep forest of creativity? LOL, actually not much, but I got some comic-look-a-like women drawn. The first that inspired me is a fan art piece of the artist Joe Prado, and this is actually the picture that got me inspired to draw my own characters. Love his style btw. anyway, here's the pic:




And some other I did without reference pictures:





Let me know what you think. I know that the sword is a bit off and not quite right and som other stuff is really weird in the first pic, but please give me some C&C on the other two pictures :D

So how's it going? Well, there has been a lot of drawing for a couple of days now, I'm not sure if there's any good results from it though XD
Dragons, now that's am object I can draw over and over again. Though I think I'm stuck in a special style at the moment, and I'm not entirely pleased with it I must confess.

And on top of it all I've catched a really bad cold. Stupid Sweden and stupid snow! Just when I thought it might be spring soon LOL.  Ah well, it can't stay cold forever. :D So, how did it go with the drawings? I got one here that I'm planning to color soon. But I have some other work to do first. Anyhow, here's the black and white version =



As I said, I will probably color this, and it will look a loot better then hopefully :D It has a sorta dinosaur-look over it I think, And I would like to change that in the future, but I'm not sure how to do that without making the jaw looking too weak or to make the dragon look to much like somebody elses dragon. It's really, really hard to get inspiration from another artists art without making your own art looking too much like that artists style. It's really important to have a unique style I think.  I myself get most of my dragon-inspiration from Tood Lockwood, but sometimes I see too much of his style in my own art, and that's really hard to get rid of :D Though I really would love to be as good as he is :D

Ever been to http://neondragonart.com/forum/ ? anyway they have these really cute puppets there as avatars, and it's actually very fun to do them :D I've done a few, like these: (I like the evil one the most)






aren't they cute? :D

Well, gotta go now, might update later :D

Wow, so here it goes huh? My Livejournal. I know it isn't such a big deal for those of you english-speaking friends out there, but Livejournal isn't that big in Sweden and I feel like actually going out into the rest of the world with my blog now since it's in eglish and all. Sounds crazy huh? LOL... yeah I guess so.

Anyhow I did a dragon tattoo kinda thingy the other day. Planning to scan it soon and show it. Please have a look at the website http://www.erkegris.com in the meanwhile.

Bye for now.
