I remember once overhearing a conversation about illustrators while on the train. At the time I didn’t know what it was exactly or how you became one, but it sounded very interesting. Outside the “Halländska kullarna” were passing by…
Little did I know that just a few month later I would be sitting in a completely different train, in a different country, trying to understand the gibberish coming out of the loudspeakers on my way to Southampton to study illustration (I ended up in Wales more than 4 hours away from Southampton and was reported missing to the police for a few hours, but that is a completely different story…)
Looking back, life in university is a bit like a bubble, you might wonder sometimes how you ended up in there but in the end it is a protected world, quite removed from reality. It is when the bubble bursts that the real “ooops!” begins….

This week has been a very busy week and I thought I would manage to finish my blog on time but since I spend the weekend in Bilbao I couldn’t put the finishing touches to the picture that I was going to post, so you will see it next Sunday instead. For this Sunday I give you Beth instead, the outcome of my first Photoshop tutorial which convinced me to go digital. I came upon such tutorial in Anton Peck’s website.

F-word

Last night I went to my first ever Metallica concert (in the Getafe Electric weekend festival), and to mark the occasion I got two t-shirts made with the illustration to the left (one for me and one for my boyfriend).

I've been toying with the idea of selling t-shirts with different illustrations through this website, and I think I'll set up a cafepress shop shortly, so stay tuned...
