Christmas fun

Jula varer helt til påske, right?

Made this one for my Grandfather last Christmas:

Fun stuff to do. It's made out of a little too dry homemade marzipan.

About my Blog

Hey, guys!

I just thought I would explain why my blog is not that much "alive". Well, to be honest, I don't really do, or have the time to do, too much artwork in my everyday life. I simply started this blog so I could have somewhere to post my art, where the website didn't claim to have the rights to it (Facebook, anyone?). Sooo.. There WILL be more art (it's not that I don't have any ideas!) - when I find the inspiration and time to do it. Be patient!
Thanks. :)

Obsessive Cullen Disorder

Counting down for Breaking Dawn part 2..!! Only eleven months to go, haha.. Three months until BD pt 1 is released on DVD, though. I have preordered, of course. It can be done here (with discount!): http://cdon.no/film/the_twilight_saga_%3a_breaking_dawn_(part_1)-14682218

Breaking Dawn Part 1 was AMAZING. I was lucky enough to be on the pre-premiere here in Oslo with hundreds of fans. Also, Elizabeth Reaser who plays Esme Cullen was there.

I was very pleased with the film, as it stayed close to the book. The wedding, Isle Esme and the birth looked excactly like what I had imagined. I was a bit disappointed that we didn't get to see the tension between Rosalie and Jacob, though. Where was the blonde jokes? Or the dog bowl?

One of the greatest things about the Twilight films is definitly the music. That was one of the reasons why I loved the first film. The music was darker and less commerce than what I had expected, and it took me by surprise, really. In BD, there are some elements of the music from Twilight, and I just LOOOVE IT!
The Breaking Dawn Soundtrack is absolutely fantastic. You can stream it on Spotify, if you bother to check it out. I think you should.

I've seen some clips from BD pt 2, and I just CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!

Let the countdown begin.

Halloween Sketch

Sorry for the bad quality....!

Stig's Skull

Made this for my friend Stig. It's a tattoo design. Excited to see how it will look like on skin, hah - if the tattoo artist approves it. What you make on paper with colour pencils will not necessary be possible - or at least look good - with ink on skin. Anyway, cool stuff to do!

Chick

Noone special, just freehand.




I was also working on a memorial piece for the terror tragedie in Oslo and Utøya 22/7, but it didn't turn out any good.. That happens sometimes. You can either work your ass off to get it better, or you can give up. This time I chose to give up. I don't want to put up anything halfway good on my blog, especially not a memorial piece.

Anyway. I was deeply shocked by the happenings that day, and I'm sending my thoughts to all who's left behind. May the lost ones rest in peace.

While we wait..

I thought I could post some old stuff, while I'm working with new things to post on my blog, just to keep my blog alive.

Okay. I admit it. I'm a Twilight fan. An embarrassing thing to admit, considering that the Twilight films stands on the "Children's" shelf in the stores. I just can't help it. I'm so fascinated by the story, and when I saw the first film, I was very positively surprised. I had been talking about the film in very negative terms, assuming an awful production and dreadful actors, but I was completely wrong. And I guess that's why I am ebarrassed to admit this.
I have actually started reading again, for the first time since I was little, thanks to Twilight. However, I've never been into vampires. And I'm not really reading every vampire book, or watching every vampire series on the tv, because of this (Nosferatu from 1922 is something, though). I guess there's something about this not-standard vampires that is fascinating to me (and I guess that's the reason why a lot of people is disgust by this story). And the strong love story of course. Always works.

Can't wait for the premiere of Breaking Dawn part 1! Wonder which part of the book that is to be included.
Well, about 4 months to go now. Nice to have something to look forward to, between the cold autumn weather and exams.

Have a nice Saturday!
