Since i bought my first computer a long time ago i´ve been working digital. Vectors have been the perfect way to express myself, and I have loved every second of it.
But now. I have lost it. I keep staring at my computer but nothing happens. Six months ago I bought a brand new Wacom Cintiq 21 but it´s just collecting dust at my desk. I bought new softwares and thought that would take me out of my creative block. It usually do. But I have´nt even opened Painter 12 and CS5 just did not feel all that new and inspirational that I had hoped.
I have to attack the problem from a different angel so from now on I have turned my computer off and started to work with, pens, markers and just about anything thats just not digital. And it feels kind of great that every stroke counts and every colour I choose, I have too live with until the picture is done or I throw it away. Of course, in the end, the result is a lot more difficult to get exactly as I want it. But who cares about that when everything just feels fun again
And just for the record. I´m not leaving digital art for good, I just need a break.

Anyone remember me?
It´s been a while. Almost two years since my last journal and about a year since my last uploaded illustation. Still I never really left, I just been very busy working and taking care of my growing family.
I have some illustrations I never had time to upload under the past year, In the next weeks I will try to upload some of them. I also have a lot of unfinished work, that I will try to find the time to finally finnish.
Even though time is still a problem, I have a brand new Wacom Cintiq 21 UX that I´m just dying to start use :)
So... see you
It's the first day of my second year at DA.
It's really been a busy and quite confusing year, not only at DA but in life in general. I´ve acctually been through the worst experience of my life, but also some of the best.
I'm not really sure what I expected when I started my account a year ago.
I sure did not thought it would help me to be a better artist. Well, I guess thats up to others to have an opinion about but I really feel that I have taken many really big steps this last year.
I have never been much for socalizing at the internet so another suprising thing is that I have found so may friends here. There is just so many kind people here, always ready to encourage and in
You must see this!
There is a brand new webzine out on DA. It's 37 pages all about whats going on at DA. I havent read it yet but after a quick glance I can say that it looks really great. I'm very happy and proud to say that I'm featured on the cover for this first issue.

Art blocks are sometimes releived by changing media ; glad it worked for you ! But they are also an indication that something is going wrong in your life, something that can be insiduous depression, or lack of time (think about organisation and things that are more important than others), or sleep deprivation, other personnal problems...
Good luck with that.
