India is coming to its end. Feels quite alright. Miss Sweden and most of all Im missing having a home and the friends.
Also miss making paintings and making a mess with alot of colors. When I get back Im gonna buy a huuuuge canvas and a bottle of wine and strand myself on the balcony for at least one day, thats for sure.

We bought a couple of spray cans that we havnt used yet eather. Found a car wreck that looked suitable for molestation that might be pimped tomorrow.

Last picture is the african lady that I made on a bus in Nepal, still not finnished. But she has some more colors now anyway.



Beso

Ive been trying to draw a beautiful flawless woman face quite a few times recently, with long shiny locks and dashing lashes. But somehow they all end up being crooked unsymmetrical faces with monstrous eyes that stares back at me from the paper when Im finished.

When I was younger I always used to draw monsters and my mother always asked me why I always drew such ugly unappealing drawings  hence to beautiful ones.
But they where appealing to me. I always found beauty in the ugly I guess.

Eventhough Im sort of a hypocrite when in my everyday life I love looking at pictures of beautiful people, painting my nails, looking in magazines and indulging in the patterns and the colours and wearing long flowery dresses and so on.

For a long time Ive tried to decide what beauty is to me, but truth to be told I dont know.
I guess its when you can transfer an emotion in a gracious way.
Usually I hate when people are all over pretentious and have a book long description of all their art. Cus I dont.

But somtimes I stop and think what the hell Im doing and what the meaning is of all this.
When it comes down to it everything is so simple really.
I like it, it makes me happy and somtimes it makes other people happy aswell.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder they say... 

  

Just arrived back to South India from crazy  and hysterical Varanasi after  two and a half days on a train.
We did this in order to attend one of our friends art fair called Artish that she arranged for the first time in India!
I got to participate with my watercolor drawings too and even had one guy interested in buying stuff (While I was away of course) Im a rubbish salesman, always gets drunk and loose my interest in standing by the sales table so when finally someone wants to buy stuff Im never there. Happened before..

Oh well, My lovely sister just confirmed that she will be arriving in India in about two weeks time and join us the last two before we head back to Sweden. And Im really excited!

Have a lot more pictures to show but Ill post them in the next entry!

Over n out

Ive managed to draw both on a camels back and on the most bumpy road through the Himalayas. And believe it or not the bus ride was the most difficult. The outcome from the bus ride is the portrait of the african woman. But its not finished yet so another picture is coming up later. Also the first drawing of the greyish man is not finnished yet.

The Nepal visit is coming to its end and our visa expires in a couple of days witch means busy, crazy hectic India is next (again) Buuut we might extend it a little bit when we happened to notice that they have there Tattoo convention two days after our visa expires...

Finally got a photo of my tattoo aswell. Made another one two days ago, some shading on my arm to round up my tree and my skull.

Really loved this country when they have alot of street art everywhere and the music scene is a little bit more diverse then India (Bollywood soundtracks only) and they seem to have a bigger underground scene for more alternative music

                                               Goodbye for now!

 

Been walking in the himalayan mountains for five days, amazing nature and aloot of walking for a lazy ass as me. As always I dont have the next Mona Lisa to show you, but some doodles and sketches. I might paint a wall on a restaurant here in Nepal in the upcoming days. But that depends if I will have time.

Peace

 

So here is some of the cartoons that was in my application for the school. I think there is a 50/50 chance that Im gonna get in. Cus I know there is quuuite a few applying to this popular school. But anyways it was fun making them!

Been sick for the last two days, but I was kind of fine with that when it meant I could drink whiskey for my bad throat.

Now me and Laila gonna plan our trekk in the Himalayan mountains and then we gonna rent a boat =)
