Shopping

 

Since I don't have any decent shoes for autumn and winter I bought myself a pair of shoes today. I found them on ebay. 320:- for a pair of shoes isn't that bad. I think they're inspired by DR Martens but most shoes you find in stores right now are.
I can't wear my converse all year. It's not good for my back nor my feet. :)
I've only ordered shoes once online before, so if these fit me I'll buy a white pair as well!
 
And I'm really sorry guys if I don't update as often as I would like, I'm currently drowning in paperwork and other projects. I can't really tell you about it just yet but as soon as I get things in order I'll start telling you about it.
 
 
 

Ballet

 

Hi guys, I just came home from ballet class. And this class I'm in now, not a single snob. I might actually enjoy dancing in this group for once :)
Don't take me wrong, I love dancing but it would be nice to make a friend for once who doesn't act like everyone else is dogpoop except her.
 
 

Alice in wonderland

 
Hi guys, I found this really awesome doorknob. I really want it and I could probably make one myself but it takes some time and is quite expensive.

All jobs today

 
This is what it's like looking for a job it's super irritating.

Detta är en bild som bör ses av hela världen!

Medans tidningar och TV rapporterar om livet och kärleksaffärerna som rör skådespelare, fotbollsspelare och andra kändisar, så har hövdingen för Kayapo stammen nyss fått höra den värsta nyheten i hela sitt liv.

Mrs Dilma, Brasiliens president, har gett sitt godkännande för byggandet av ett enormt vattenkraftverk. (Världens tredje största)

Detta innebär utplånandet för alla stammar som lever längst med floden eftersom fördämningen kommer att översvämma mer eller mindre 988.421 hektar av skogen. Mer än 40 000 infödingar måste hitta andra levande miljöer där de kan överleva.
Förstörelsen av den naturliga miljön, det vill säga avskogning, och försvinnandet av flera arter av växter och djur kommer att bli ett fullbordat faktum.

Vi vet att en enkel bild motsvarar tusen ord, och visar det pris som skall betalas för "livskvalité" i våra så kallade "moderna bekvämligheter". Världen har inte längre plats för de som bor annorlunda. Allt måste jämnas bort, och alla måste i globaliseringens namn förlora sin identitet och sätt att leva.

Om detta gör dig rasande, så uppmanar och ber jag dig att "dela" detta meddelande till alla dina vänner, släktingar och bekanta.
Och glöm inte att skriva under namnlistan!
 
 
 
^ Stal detta från facebook, jag tycker att kan man hjälpa till så bör man. Det kostar ingenting och tar inte alls lång tid att skriva under listan. Om det hjälper eller ej det vet jag inte, men det har aldrig skadat att försöka eller vad säger ni?
 
 
For my international friends: If you click the link above and watch the video you'll find the english version. Please sign the petition on the link, it will probably save 40 000 people from losing their homes.

Plump lips and my vertical labret

 
 
Hi guys! I watched a video a few days ago on how to get plump lips. I know most would like to have lips like Angelina Jolie all plump and juicy, I'm one of them.
There's this girl on youtube talking about how to get them by using a toothbrush and vaseline by just brushing them. It's like exfoliating your lips and getting that blood circulation going. So I thought to myself " the heck" why not? So I went to the pharmacy and got myself some baby toothbrushes (we've got sensitive skin on our faces so why not be nice extra nice to our precious lips?) and vaseline.
Now I've got some extra in case a ..baby.. or two want the spend the night... welcome to daycare Ritzy we even provide your kids with their very own toothbrush.
Anyway I tried it out and it didn't do much for me.
I tried to take a decent after picture but I'm one of those lovely persons who like to live in the dark and dim light so the picture didn't turn out as good as I hoped, but it will have to do. I did some editing to blur away a few blemishes I had.
About the ''treatment'' I didn't notice much of a difference. However, it's a great exfoliation, get that blood pumping and getting rid of all the dead skin. Especially since I have my vertical labret it tends to get really dry around the piercing but no I wouldn't say it helped. 
 
Here's my ''after'' picture 
 
If you look really close you can see the scar from my off side labret I had several years ago, it's so small it just looks like a tiny dimple.
 
I didn't take a before picture but I have an old picture of my lips in their natural state:  
 
 
I think my after picture looks a bit more ''swollen'' from the treatment and a lot jucier because of the vaseline. 
 
 
Here's another picture of my vertical labret. I really love my piercing and it's a huge part of me. 

Barbie smoothie

 
I'm no fan of breakfast in general. When I wake up I just don't feel like eating or chewing. So liquid breakfast is the only way to go for me. (that really made me sound like an alcoholic didn't it?) ether way, smoothies are the best. I just recently started drinking them since I've started craving sweet drinks lately. I think it's my body going nuts since I cut down on sweets and sugar in general.
This smoothie's just vanilla yoghurt, some milk, raspberries and mango. I call it the Barbie.
 

Home

 

I just got home from work. I'm exhausted.
I wish I could take a nap but if I do that, I won't wake up until tomorrow and I have a ton of stuff to do. I have several Disney requests to finish and designing my online portfolio and my other sneaky projects. 
I just gotta' grab something to eat and then I'll get back to work. 

Artist week

 

I want to thank all of you who sent me links to pictures to help me improve my drawing technique! I'm dedicating this whole week for that. (And yep, I'm going to draw every single one of you and upload it on my blog) 
~ I just hope I don't offend somebody ~
Gif is somewhat related hehe because that's pretty much how I feel and look like when I put my glasses on.

Princess Stephanie

 
I asked my friends on facebook if someone wanted to be drawn as a Disney character.
So I drew my dear friend Stephanie as a princess!
And my hand's cramping now hahahaa
 
If some one of you my dear readers would like a portrait made feel free to comment and link the image you want me to transform.
 

Nostalgia

 

I found my old playlist on spotify with all the Disney songs, since I haven't uploaded any picture of me in a while I drew a Disney inspired portrait of myself!
So this is what I've been up to for the last hour or so.

Working on a weekend

 
 

Hi guys! I'm sorry I haven't updated anything. I've been busy making prints for my design projects.
These last two days I made one design. It's completely finished now and is ready to be sent away to be ''manifactured''. I'm not going to do that right now though, I still have a few things that I need to fix before I do that. I haven't made up my mind if I should make the design for myself or if I should have it made by a company.
I'm sorry if I can't give you much more than this but I have to keep it a secret until it's all finished.
But It's going to be awesome~

And oh, do enjoy this quick doodle I made just a few minutes ago.

Marco..



This isn't new news, but I didn't even think about it until now. Maybe some of you guys haven't thought about it either so I thought it would be worth spreading or at least mentioning.
I hope you guys have a wonderful saturday! I'm going to spend mine inside playing some video games!

Tenacious D concert

 
I went to our carnival here in Stockholm/Sweden today called Grönalund to see Tenacious D with Jack Black.
Since I knew it was going to be hysterical we were there at 1pm isch. (enough to let you sleep in and late enough to be able to come in)
And no I wouldn't say I was lucky to get in, it's called planning ahead. If people would have done that they would have gotten in too. 
Anyway I liked the show, but I really dislike crowds in general wich didn't make the experience that much awesome sause. And I dislike drunks too, this was a combination of both of them. 17 000 people, I'd say about half of them was drunk or acting very rudely in general.
 
Since there was so much people, there was no way to move around at all) we couldn't move at all until the show had ended. Halfway through the gig it started pouring down from the sky, so I'm soaked, tired, bruiced, and annoyed right now I just want to go to bed. Wouldn't say it was worth it the time nor the money.
 
I got myself a bag with Tenacious D on it. I didn't like the shirts in general, the designer could have done a better job working on the motives and the look of it. It was all Kyle on them, I don't know about you but I prefer Jack and if I would want to wear a t-shirt with one of their faces on it, I would have liked it to be Jacks face.  
Me and my brother also threw some balls at a cardboard wheel and we won ourselves a pair of these teddys. So now we have a matching pair (but his is dark brown and mine is caramel brown).
And I bought myself a necklace too. I think it's a fun design, digital love for the internet generation.
I'm sorry for the crappy pictures, but I'm so tired I used my phone just to show you guys rather qickly before I go to bed.
 

Internet staph

 
Today's my day off from work so I wanted to do a lot of things I've been falling behind on: like my blog for example. I really want to start working on the design but I can't, not at the moment anyway. The tablet I have doesn't work on mac. So I guess I'll stop being a slob and clean my room and study for my drivers license.
When you're constantly busy everything else just starts to pile up.
 
 

I tried to catch up with some sleep but that just ended with me waking up with migraine. 
w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l
 
 

Also: most of you are probably wondering why I don't have a drivers license. It's because I live pretty central and there's a walking distance to everything.

Vintage

 
 
I've always loved vintage, just look at that car it's absolutely beautiful. You can never go wrong with the classics!

Book weather

 
Hi guys, since it's been raining for several days now I've spent most of my time in bed reading this book.
It's quite hard to describe it without spoiling it for you, but it's kinda like a steam punk version of mermaids I guess. 
The mermaids need tech shells to be able to breathe under water. Which is powered by a drome of some sort, which is starting to malfuncture and is starting to shut down the breathing shells, so the main character Aluna needs to figure out what's going on and if she can stop it from killing her people. And let's just say things doesn't go quite according to plan.
I liked it because it's a new ''type'' of mermaids, who isn't born naturally with fins and breathe under water, but I wasn't very found of how gore the book turned out to be later on. It's a bit like the movie Wild Wild West with Will Smith but the mermaid version of it.
It's an interesting book and if you're interested in fantasy and a hint of sci-fi since there's some kind cyborgs in it too you should read it.
You can find the book here & here.
 
And oh there's another book out called Mirage which is the sequel. 
 
 

YOLO

 

I saw this meme and I don't know how I would react if it happend to me. Would you take advantage of a drunk person? Is it robbery?

But I think I need to re shoot it.
Meanwhile enjoy this snapshot!
