Frej’s website has been updated with quite a lot of new drawings & paintings. (This one above is totally MINE! Isn’t it great when your favourite artist is also your boyfriend and required to be nice and give you things?) Also his class, idégestaltning at Göteborgs Konstskola have their final exhibition at Konstepidemin in Göteborg, opening Saturday the 21th of August. They are all very talented and great people so you should definitely drop by if you’re in town. Come come come!
Here’s an illustration/collage that Becka sent me ages ago and that I’ve been meaning to scan but never gotten around to! It’s us having tea and listeing to my favourite line in Oh My Lord with Nick Cave! (Link to Spotify, listen! It’s a wonderful song) It was part of our little project to send eachother illustrations once a month to try and stay creative but that kind of died again after her having made this & I making a portrait of her. We’re now supposed to look up a word in a dictionary and draw something from that. But neither of us has initiated anything in forever… At least we kept it up for one month! Maybe we’ll succeed with doing it once a year, then there’s still time left for the new creativity to come back haha!
Today Frej and I have started the fasting, will do three days to try it out, one week seemed a bit too scary for me. At least I will, maybe he will keep it up longer, I’m not sure what his plans are. So far it’s going good! (But that’s partially because I slept so long that I haven’t even gotten hungry yet, it’s just half past two in the afternoon and I’ve been awake for like three hours.) I’m not sure how much I will write about it here, maybe a lot, maybe not much at all. Because 1) I don’t know if anyone is interested and 2) I wouldn’t want to inspire any kind of unhealthyness or experimenting that might be bad for someone. I *think* I’ve read up on it enough, but that’s enough for me to subject myself to it, not for me to try and make someone else do it aswell.
This is something I am doing because I find it really interesting and suitable with my alcohol free month and definitely not to lose weight. And you don’t lose any weight from it in the long run either so yeah…
To keep myself from thinking too much about food my plans are to read and create a lot (or a bit more than usual anyway) so if you have any inspiring sites I’d love to look at them! Could be art or sewing, or just interesting facts or history or whatever! Things that keep your mind alert anyhow.
I modelled for my super talented flatmate Ulrika a few weeks ago. She makes all sorts of textile things, fabric patterns & illustrations. These are her handknitted cardigans, patterns she has invented herself. Oh and you can also listen to Ulrikas & Patriks band Lilleskog here!
All photos are taken by Linnea Saltin, our missed ex-flatmate! They were taken just outside out house where it’s right now pretty lethal with icicles ready to kill you.
I caught my reflection in a spoon while I was eating my cereal, and I remember thinking “wow, you’re ridiculously good looking, maybe you could do that for a career.“
My friend & partner in crime Carin has made a painting of me!

This is the art by my lovely flatmate Susanne! Check out her blog for much much more, she is really productive and talented! I wish I was as good at disciplining myself and creating things more often but I’m just not .
I took some pictures of Frejs art! He’s the best, I would think so even if he wasn’t my love and partner in crime.
My favourite. It’s a bit blurry in this picture sadly but I didn’t have the energy to go and take more pics.
