So hey it was a long time ago that I updated my journal here (over a year ago actually) so why not update a bit on some nice things thats happened this year;

First of all, as I have mentioned once; I've got a new job. This time also as an art teacher, it's amazingly fun! It takes a lot of my time but its fun and very rewarding teaching children how to draw <3

Next thing worth mentioning is that I ended up first place in a huge comic contest here in Sweden, I still can't really believe this happened but wow, this was just incredible!

Another thing that has happened is that I'm currently working on a sequel to the childrens book I illustrated last year, it's gonna be published around April next year!

There is yet another big project I'm working on, though I'm not sure if I can talk about it or not, so that will just have to wait.

So the last thing I'm putting on this list is....I've got a boyfriend! Yup, there's a first time for everything we work at the same school and he's a piano teacher there! It's all very cute <3

This makes 2015 seem like an amazingly lucky year fo me, but it's really been a struggle with awful things happening to my family and people around me. I don't want to write about everything bad that has happened out of respect for the people it's happened to (just trust me, it's a LOT of things). If anything I really hope my "luck" with things may happen to them 2016, they deserve it more than I do right now.
So to end this, I hope you all had a great year and that 2016 will be amazing, take care of yourself and go and give your family and the people you love a hug, 'cause you never know when thing's like these may happen.

Hello again guys, once again it was a long time since I updated my journal!

As I mentioned last time, I'm now working on two jobs, one as a cleaning lady and another as a comic/art teacher, between those two I am freelance worker and I try to also be able to live my life and take care of my dog.
Let's just say that life is crazy busy right now!
But on the other hand, the second half of this year I will be off duty from the cleaning job and will be working full time on being an art teacher and a freelancer, I might even get some time to open up for commissions online.

So let's put it like this - first part of this year = Crazy busy and stressful
second part of the year = awesomely creative

I LOOK FORWARD TO IT SO MUCH!!!

well..uhh...HI!
long time ago since I updated my journal, and now I only do it to update a little about what's going on in my life atm!

First of all, I've got back to work now (as a cleaning lady wohooo...), or well, I've been back at work since June BUT ANYWAY. It's boring. That's about it. Though I've been asked to hold some classes about making comics at the school where I work, so that's kinda nice!
Second of all, starting from January I will also have a second job! And this time, as an Art teacher! Which will be AWESOME.
Third thing to say is that I have managed to kept my webcomic b.b.f (bestbrosforever.com/ read it and cry, because of the stupidness) alive for almost a year now which is like a record for me, and I will have 220 pages finished by the end of this year, yeah!

A fourth thing I can mention as well is that right now I'm working on two childrens books (with two different writers) and both of them have their deadline in December, so this is keeping me very busy right now and I sadly won't be able to show any of the art until I get an ok to do so (IF I get an ok to upload them)

So...all in all I will be busy as never before and I will barely have ANY time to work on personal art right now, so don't expect much from me right now...

I'll be in Stockholm this weekend, selling comics at SPX! We will be sitting pretty close to the entrance so it should be easy to find me and my friends table!
hope to see some people there

but... I made it into Kvarnby comics school in Malmö which is a school I have wanted to go to for 4 years now...

I got the letter today and was all like asdhjadhjashjsd

one part of me just can't wait while another part of me is scared like...like when I was about to go to the other comic (and arts) school

the thing that makes these two schools different is that this one in Malmö is MUCH harder to get into and it's at a harder level overall!

Sooo anywaaaay...I'm wondering if there might be anyone else here who have gotten a yes on their application?
it would be fun to know about it <3


...so yeah, anyway, I find it amazing that I actually managed to get in there, I didn't think I would stand any chance <3

_{and before you ask, I don't know how my hands will survive it though, but I DO have the ability to change drawing hand at will nowadays and I guess that will help me out very much in this case!}
