Mooning

It was such a beautiful full moon outside. I stopped at this great view of the water, trees and the moon. It´s taken on Långholmen in Stockholm.

I Photoshopped it quite a lot and played around with the levels, color balance, photo filter and hue/saturation. This was the result. The original picture kind of looked like this, but much more pale. I really like the results!

Trash

This was a beautifully trashed trashcan that I depicted just beside the South train station (Södra station) in Stockholm. Someone had apparently run over it with a truck or a car. It's so damaged. Still, people continued to throw trash in it. It stayed this way for almost 4 months, I think. I managed to take a picture of it just before it was replaced. Guess I had a gut feeling it was gonna be removed.

I had to photoshop it a bit (only levels and exposure), because it was quite dark when I took the pic and also it was taken with my phone camera. I don't have a smart phone. I sometimes like the challenge with low quality pictures and to discover how to make them work, in Photoshop.

Dragons

This was another go I had at a tattoo. This one I might actually make, with a few changes. Maybe less color or so. Enjoy!

What is love?

This artwork was inspired by a piece of art in a café. It's just so painful because it makes it so obvious how separated I sometimes am from others and from love.

In search of love I am searching only for myself. Cuz it is only myself I can truly love and care for.

Tulip(s)

Didn't know what to draw this time, just wanted to make soft moves with the pencil. Oh, by the way, I use Tombows´ Dual Brush Pen. They have hundreds of colors and it's really easy to mix them together using a plate and water and a brush. Here's what they look like:

They're so much fun! I first discovered them in Switzerland in one of their IKEA-like art-shops, called Boesner. In Stockholm they're only available online. I have now about 20 colors. Some of them are going faint so next time in Switzerland I'm gonna stack up!

Dragon

This I originally did as an idea for a tattoo. However, when it was finished, I realized it wouldn't work as a tattoo. I liked anyway though!
    Inspired by dragon pics on the web in search for the perfect dragon. Still looking! Don't tell my mother ;)
