Rabbit

 Me, my sister and her boyfriend were at the Merian Gärten in south of Basel, Switzerland the other day. They had many lovely flowers, trees and some animals! This is a cute little buddy I was lucky to catch on camera. It's a rabbit mother with her rabbit children.

I only changed the curves in Photoshop slightly to correct a bit of overexposure.

Dress

For my niece's fifth birthday I bought her a dress at the shop Under at Tjärhovsgatan, Stockholm. My cousin owns the place so I could get a little discount. I think the dress is an artwork in it self.

Here is a close-up of the pattern itself. Beautiful, isn't it?

Gerald Steffe

This weekend I was at an art exhibition with Gerald Steffe. It was at Edsvik konsthall, in Sollentuna.
It was a funny coincidence that brought me there. Gerald Steffe was one of my art teachers at Långholmens Folkhögskola 5 years ago. Then it turned out that my friend is friends with him. So my friend brought me there and I got to meet Gerald again after suck long time! It was great. I really love his art. It's really inspiring. Here is one of the pieces that I depicted.

I think the creature is called "little Taurus". One of my favorites.

Amy

So this one I made about six months after Amy Winehouse passed away. It was a big shock when I read about it in the papers. I always thought she would get a grip and manifest the beauty she was. So this portrait I made with much love and sorrow, because she means so much to me.

I used organza with a little piece of sewing thread to make the butterflies. The head is a supermagnified bubble I took from Internet. The ear ring is cut out in gold and the eye lashes is cut out from colored paper. The rest is made with Tombow Dual Brush Pencils.

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!
