I was out shopping bed-frame and mattress  the past weekend and i  am pleased with the ones that i found. Nice casual and comfy, perfect!  

 

Other then that, nothing new has really happened in my life. I am creating more and more custom brushes these days, here are a couple of images that i painted with some of them.

Hey all,

 

It has been awhile since my last update,sorry for that! 

 

A lot of things has happened. I moved to the US, started work at Blizzard. And i can say that i really enjoy it here. The weather is great, work is cool and people seem generally open and friendly. However this xmas and new years was spent  without my family so that part didn’t really feel too good. During xmas a friend of mine went to Las vegas for 3 days. What better city is better to spend a close family holiday in then Vegas hehe… Anyways it was quite interresting just to see the place.  The huge hotel complex’s the strip, the gambling and the nightlife. I am not much of a gambler so i didn’t loose all that much.

While time spent in Vegas i went to see “the bodies” exhibition. It was worth the trip is all i can say. Both intellectually and artistically stimulating! 

So i moved to the US since december, but settling down takes a bit of time. Even getting things in order. Certain things are new to me here but i reckon i will get used to it with time. I have now been living in a temporary housing since my arrival, and within 2 more weeks i will have to move out to my own apartment. So right now i am in the transition stage to get things settled in for the new place. All the necessary things thats needed you know, beer and a laptop :D

Oh and i got myself a macbook pro, and i am so far enjoying the mac life. Yeah the pc chapter is finished for me now :)

On the work side, things are going quite well and i am happy with the position. On the art side i have been a bit lazy i must say but i tend to force myself  to do a speedpainting once or twice a week.

 

here are a couple of shots from my apartment,speedpaints, and the new mbp!

Yes the move is closing in! Getting quite excited :) I checked out the area in Irvine where i will live as much as i could on google maps trying to find the important spots and facilities.

The housing , fligh and transport is settled and so soon the flight remains. Its going to be a really long one….. I really hope there wont be any delays.

Hey all.

For some reason i am not really feeling good, struck of sudden loneliness i guess. Thats the price for always beeing on the move i suppose. I assume i could try to settle down once after the move. Anyways….new speedpainting for tonight.

Yes! this is what happens when you stop working, atleast for me. I completely lost the sence of time, atleast daycount. Anyways todays was productive still. I now have all the neccecary papers ready for the US embassy interview. The LA move is closing in! It has been long time since i got the offer but finally the goal is getting closer..

This year has been great though, as far as work goes it hasnt been a downfall(quite the opposite)…, not yet

atleast. And i certainly hope it wont come. But that will surely happen one day too.

some new speedpaints, all between1-2h

Hello all,

So i decided to pick up blogging again and let people get a fraction of my thoughts. Last time it ended up with 2 posts. Hopefully i will have more time and effort spent on it.

Time has gone and alot has happened to me this past year. Been spending alot of time working and traveling. I was in Paris, Rome, Florence, Norway, London and soon i should be in the US after all my VISA finally arrived!

Paris was great! and i i had the pleasure to enjoy the Louvre once again. Even managed to visit Pompidou and see some modern art. I cant say i Understood much of it but it sure was entertaining. I even got lost there. Took me 15 mins to navigate back, and the complex isnt that huge.

Rome, well what can i say… Its truelly amazing! the amount of cultural seeings and events is just mind blowing. And of course my crappy digital cam didnt work too well… But i sure had a memory masturbation from all the great places i visited. I also visited a friend of mine in Florence. In all of italy i honestly felt more drawn to this city. The duomo, the plazas and i even managed to taste the popular icecreams! I sure would like to see it once again.

Norway, ah now that was truelly a great nature experience. One of the most beautiful trips i have undertaken. The fjords, mountains waterfall and idyllic small towns. Just about everywhere you want you kept turning your head in awe of mother nature. This time my cam decided to cooperate and i ended up with 600 pictures of nature. Sure will be useful in my work!

K, lets see whats left….oh yeah, London! Only i didnt go there on holiday. I had the privilage t work with The Moving Picture Company as mattepainter and conceptartist. I really liked London, its a very intense city filled with flavour. I didnt enjoy much of the sightseeing though because i worked quite alot. But i didnt mind because i also loved the work.  And also made some great new friends! However i did have few days of sightseeing so some shopingtime and wandering around. The tussaud museum was a sick experience, saw some hilarious shit there.

some pictures from Norway!
