I didn't do much creatively until after the school years, then going through phases of fantasy, sci-fi and horror before finding my own thing. That wasn't until 2nd year at art school though. Picked up acrylics in 2003 but moved on to oils within a year because the quick drying didn't suit me(or the plastic smell, yet all I heard were complaints about the oil..).
I still only use one brush size(except one extra broad), rarely clean it during the day and stick with it 'til the straws are half gone. More equipment is just a distraction, so I rather work around its limitations than constantly shift it. A wide selection of music through headphones is a must though, to keep those wandering thoughts in check and dampen any surrounding noise.
Random likes: cookies(eating & baking), retro games, racing(driving & watching), art deco(round AND pointy), individualism, various reading(more articles than books though).
Random dislikes: economy(zZz), tradition(predictable equals boring), absence of imagination, insects(it's Alien all over, disgustingly cool).
I work with this in Luleå, Sweden so yeah, location isn't my no.1 source of inspiration. While the whole thing is obviously based off of reality and endulges in some social commentary(I dare you to spot it), there is that fusion with something more intangible. Pretty sure my goal lies somewhere in there.. not stepping fully into either realm. We'll see...
Browsing my work of past and present, you'll find oil paintings, drawings, sketches that may or may not have led to something, and the occasional other medium.
Expect updates as soon as something is finished (monthly if not weekly). More...
