by daylight

The weeks have gone by so fast. This monday we started a new course at school - textile printing. And I am excited! In the morning I felt like doodling a bit, so I sketched this drawing that I might well use in printing on canvas. I'm only wondering how I should use the end result... Maybe I'll grab some old pillowcases and t-shirts with me tomorrow. :)

And the other day we used these lovely flowers as a basis for a task.

card for a housewarming party + angst

I did a version of a card originally illustrated by Rudolf Koivu, one of Finland's most beloved illustrators.

This is another one of those days when I'm not too happy with the quality of pictures that I've taken with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S). Minor thing, after all. Today though, once again, it shut itself down without any warning, after which it took half an hour to restart. Yeah I know, take the damn thing somewhere to be fixed. My old and ugly phones used to last long times in use, showing no signs of dysfunction.

Makes me wonder if things will get any better by the year 20XX as seen in the card up above... ;)

as easy as it gets

There are various ways of making your smartphone do art almost by itself. I got a hint from a friend and soon after I made the following pictures - it's an app called Sketch Free. Extremely, almost ridiculously easy for anybody to create interesting mobile drawings.

there's many of us

Piirsin tänään, YEAH! Tussilla luonnosvihkoon, ihan vain vapaasta tajunnanvirrasta ideoita noukkien. Olipa mukavan spontaania. Klikkaamalla kuvaa pääset tarkastelemaan yksityiskohtia. :)

kesävärejä

Luonnosvihkoa täyttelen, kun sille päälle satun. Ihana kesä! Nautin erityisesti kahdestatoista tuoreesta hyttysenpistosta ympäri kehoani...
