New work space - new work

This last one is a picture of the lovely new arrangement I have made in my room for drawing. The table used to be a coffee table in front of my couch - the coffee break is over baby! It can be very inspiring to move around. The drawings are all made this weekend at my new favorite spot.

Freedom has come

Finally my exams are over and I have some time for drawing again. I feel like some kind of drug addict shaking to get a fix. The last few weeks I have woken every morning with a huge desire to just make coffee and draw but school obligations kept me from it. This morning I got my fix: coffee, lame tv, and doodeling away. It's SO good! I love my life :)

Although I'm working pretty intensive on my bachelors project in anthropology at the moment, I need to take a draw-out (time-out) now and then. It's kind of meditative.

You must love the tiger!

"Mørk er november og løvfaldet slut... da må vor hjerter selv lyse." (From a danish song.)

I drew this last weekend when I visited my old 'højskole' (a sort of bording school). The theme was autumn, and the headmaster spoke of how this dark time of year opens for reflection. Now that the days are mostly dark and the sun is almost not present, our hearts must lighten the way as a thousand tiny suns. I think of this on days sunch as this one where I really miss the daylight. My mood depends deeply on the sunlight. I will try to let my heart shine instead.
