Here's my presents! Circular Fisheye, metal box filled with homemade cookies, great book of cats, spider-man t-shirt and self-made cards! I love the one with Disney's evil bitches, especially Maleficent! She's my favorite Disney villain. Maybe I should paint her next...
I have progressed a little bit with this painting. Lots of thing to be done, but here I am now
Plywood is hard to paint on. But I'll paint it over and over again until it looks good. The fingers are crap, I know. Next I'll work on with the curtains and whole background. Laura is the last.
The shadows of the curtains are black, in case you wondered why there's black stripes on the curtains. My friend (this painting is a present for him) made a twin peaks painting where the shadows of the curtains were black. It looked great! So I'm trying the same here, let's see if it works..
I know this girl Emi and I love her poems. You can read them from her blog. Her poems are in finnish, so if you don't know finnish, just look her pictures, she is very pretty!
Anyway, I was reading her poems one day and I drew this:
Emi's world
Ink and pencil
And she loved it! I'm so happy :) The backround is filled with her poems.
I'm sorry that I've been silent, but I'm in big hurry now! Our animals have giardia (we have three cats and two dogs..) and christmas is coming!
But soon you'll see what I've done to the Twin Peaks painting! And next Tuesday I'm going to see Fiona Timantti and take a photo of her and the Mouse Fatale painting. I already gave it to her and she was very happy about it. Another rock off my chest..
If you're interested what I'm about to do, here's a list of my current projects:
-Twin Peaks
-Family tree of my mother-in-laws family
-Cruella, age 60
-Random chirstmas cards
You can also wish something from me! I'm open for any ideas!
I'm starting to do some photographing too. I'm not trying to be super awesome on that, I just like to do it. Maybe I'll post something in here, if I dare.
I finally started. This is quite a big work, at least for me, so it'll take some time to get it done. Well, my deadline is four weeks on this, so I have to get it done quite soon.
Here's a pencil sketch

Listening to Twin Peaks soundtrack (movie and tv-series) helps to keep the inspiration up and going. It's the best inspirational music! Little bit of scary, but lovely at the same time, incredible. I should listen it more often, then I'd never lose my inspiration. My favorite songs are into the night and the voice of love.
I'm almost out of black and red is gone. I can get more on friday, because tomorrow is Finland's independence day and all the shops are closed. I'll probably draw with pencil tomorrow, maybe use some ink.
I'm making a family tree-painting for my mother-in-laws mother, she really likes that kind of stuff so..
I'm also sick and the day after tomorrow is my birthday! Now I'll drink tea and hope that I will survive this. Wish me luck!
I made this card to soon-to-be-a-friend (I hope). She likes bride of Frankenstein, so I drew this. Made with ink. Hope that she'll like it...
I'm so sorry that the quality of these pictures is what it is. My camera is dead, but I'll fix it soon! Our scanner is an asshole and won't work on this laptop. I'm too lazy to use our other computer... Sorry!
I'll probably start painting that Twin Peaks painting on thursday!
First of all the greatest TV series ever made and the movie is also great.
I'm now very inspired by Twin Peaks. I'm going to paint Laura Palmer in the Black Lodge, when she's dead and happy about the fact that she is free of suffering and fear. It's probably the best scene in Fire walk with me. I'm touched by it every single time.
This painting will be a birthday present for my friend (he's b-day is in first week of January), so I'll post here pictures of different phases, so you'll see the difference. This'll be easier now, because I'm not in a (big) hurry, so I wont get the painting done in two days.
That's why I like acrylics, they dry quickly. I'm too hasty for oil colours. With acrylics I can make two paintings in a day.
