Who I am.

I have made some sketches for a self portrait that I might finish, don't know yet...
Depends if I feel that I could make something out of it that could represent the whole of me in a decent way. The background plays a major roll in my decision, should it be discreet and back off for the characters or shout out colours and make a lot of impressions as well.. Hm.. Something symbolistic maybe?

Peace

I hope you died from fear

We stopped looking for monsters under our beds when we realize they live inside of us.

Happy Halloween!

"We're all murderers", mama nature said

Okey, let's just face this after the new climate report by IPCC.

Mama nature said 
"it's murder what you've done" 
I sent you forth my brightest world 
Now it's nearly gone 

Birds and bees 
Been telling me 
You can't see 
The forest for the trees 

You cover up your lies 
With sympathies 
And I got no solutions 
To your persecution 

Mama nature said 
"i can't believe it's true" 
I gave you life and food for thought 
Look what did you do 

You're killing my rivers 
Drowning my baby streams 
Day by day by day by day 
I hear them scream 

I'm so disillusioned 
I'm so disillusioned 

Mama nature said 
"you're guilty of this crime" 
Now it's not just a matter of fact 
But just a matter of time 

Cruel will be the vengeance 
So savage is the deed that's done 
And I've got no solutions 
To your own pollutions




Peace

Retro - Or should I say antique(?) - Lamp

I've finally managed to repair the lamp I inherited from my grandmother last summer.

Hopefully it will be elecrtically safe to use, now when I've replaced all the old wires and cables with new ones and so on. It's not easy to keep yourself from not becoming a little anxious about the lamp being energized though, especially when stating the fact that all of it is actually made out of some sort of metall... Well, at least I've done my very best!

 If I was smarter (and richer, or alternatively had better contacts) I would probably have a qualified electrician to take a look at it before putting it into use, but now I don't so.... We´ll hope for the best and I guess I can always learn from my mistakes otherwise!
 - Kids, don't try this at home as long as you're not willing to take the risk of getting some unintended electroshock therapy!!!

 I guess this could be a pretty good adwise for those of you who are on your way moving out, getting your first own apartment or so: Check with your relatives and friends and friends of friends before buying new stuff to your new home. There's always stuff lurking in the dark of peoples sheds, attics, basements, etc.

First of all: I'ts better from an environmental perspective!!!
Second: It's cheaper!!
Third: It makes your furnishings more personal, unique and thereby so much more You!

Peace!

After you've learned how to see the world through the third eye...

 

Try to look at it through your fifth.




Peace.

Define "touched", would you?

I felt my freedom being captured, something run through me, it touched my face with a cold fingertip, whispered calming words in my ears, found my soul, shut me down and switched the power on again, lighted my fire and took my voice from me, my nose was bleeding and as I raised my hand I noticed that I couldn't make it stop trembling...
I think there's a crack in my brain.

Peace.

My brothers halloween costume

My brother is going on "trick or treat" this evening, so I offered to do his make-up.

Start with a white coat of theatre make-up over the entire face and down the front part of the neck. What's special with theatre make-up is that it's based on oil instead of water and therefor covers better and doesn't crack after a while as water-based products has a tendency to.

Then you do a exageratte smoky eyes make-up around the eyes and attach the zipper with a strong body glue (for example the one that comes with fake lashes).

Put vax at the edges of the zipper so it appears to be a part of the skin, except the colour difference of course, fix that with watercolour.

 

Then apply some toiletpaper mixed with ordinary wood glue around the mouth, nose and the other areas "inside of the body". You could also put some glue directly at your face and rub it to get some skin looking flakes.
And after you've done that it's just the real artistic work left. I usually begin with black and then add several layers of red on top of that, you could also use a bit of purple/dark blue to get the right tones. The colour I've used here's just ordinary watercolour.
 

Add some fake blood... And you're ready to go!

 

Don't scare any old ladies to death please. Otherwise have a great time! Happy halloween!

 

 

Oh, and notice my previous halloween costume post as well!
Peace!

Misplaced inspiration?

Music has an ability to give a lot of inspiration.
Sometimes it gives me so much inspiration that I'm not sure where to get rid of all the creativity running through my blood, right next to that special kind of adrenalin you get when feeling sort of enlightened or something like it...

This time I was listening to Tool, wich is one of my favourites. I'd bought a cd with them and I was listening to it alone - all focus on the music - for the first time. The music took control over my senses.

I think I could have crushed a wall or somethiung in that moment, or just burst into flames, rapped my soul into pieces, melted down to the floor and cried endlessly... But I made this instead.
Feeble?

Peace!

Something you should try this Weekend

Last weekend I saw a bunch of movies with a friend. My friend is not allowed to eat candy, therefor we had to figure something else out to eat... And so we thought of the idea of icecream, but as you all know icecream can get a bit boring after a while, having the same taste in your mouth all the time and so on...
 We finally came up with a great idea - we bought two Ben&Jerrys, used a bread knife to cut them in half and then we switched the bottoms of the packages and taped them together into one piece again so we got both tastes in one package, awesome!

I know we could just have used a spoon to put some of one of the icecream in a bowl and then take some of the other and mix it, or we could just have switched with one an other after eaten half of it... But wouldn't that have been quite boring though?

Peace!
