Yeah, I have been very inactive again lately, but I have a lot going on in school. Right now I have to do an information folder about illegal downloading, an website in Dreamweaver, several things in Illustrator and Photoshop, a math test, a computer knowledge test and reading and reviewing "The Year of Our War" by Steph Swainston in Swedish classes. I'm also taking both course A and B at the same time in English class. Maybe I will read A and B at the same time in Swedish too. And that's just my schoolwork. I have a bunch of books that's needs to be reviewed at Catahya and some stories that has to be written.
But I am actually working at a new Art piece which is featuring the lovely :devPirate-Queen-stock: as model. It will be submitted soon and since I have my computer with me all the time in school I can hopefully find more time for my Art when things has settled down a little.

By the way, back in the weekend I was at the Book Fair and Gothenburg and had so much fun! :] I bought seven books so now I have like twenty two unread books in my book case x) I was at the Fair with my mother and cousin and they had never been there before so they found it a bit exciting :]

So now I have been two weeks at my new school and even though the first week was really rough and hard to get through, things is really starting to look up by now.
We have done commercial-analysises, movie-analysies, very basic websites and a lot of other stuff as well. But the best part is that the computers we've gotten is filled with nice programs that I'm really eager to learn more about. My class seems very nice as well, but I don't know them very well get. But everyone seems cool and fun and since our lessons is so great and intresting, things are really working out much better than I thought.

Sorry about my ART-absence. I just don't have time. But I'm working on a kind of surreal/romantic piece right now, and hopefully it will be done by tomorrow.

Have a wonderful weekend!



UPDATE: I have gotten myself a dA-portfolio where I will upload a little different goodies than I have here in my dA-gallery. It's not so much just yet, but there will be soon.

---> Portfolio

So tomorrow I will begin at my new school, and my feelings are quite divided.
I feel happy about taking classes that will help me improve my photoshop skills, as well as my photography skills, and I think it will be great to learn som "profesional" techniques. But it will be a hell of a lot new, and adapting is not something I'm good at. New school, new place, new teachers, new classmates... It will be hard and right now I would prefer hiding under the bed (and it's full of dust there, since I almost never clean). But it will probably be better tomorrow; it's always the waiting that's worst.

I am a real morningperson - I mostly awakes in the early morning hours and go to bed quite early in the night. Here the time is 00.42 right now which is way to late for me who usually wakes about 6 o'clock. But then we've got this exciting little thing called Energizer. I have drinken a Redbull and some other greenish stuff and I'm not sleepy at all, even though my brain feel a bit slow, actually ;] It's kind of cool that this things works and that I'm so easily affected. I have been writing some texts and worked a little on a novel and I wonder how they will look in plain daylight when I'm no longer high on energizer ;]

So right now I'm plainly going on energizer.
Redbull is the shit! xD

A nice evening to all of you.

Now I only have a little more than three weeks left of my summer vacation, and it feels like the countdown already has begun. But I'm a little bit restless by now, so it will probably be quite nice to be back in school again. But of course, I'm a bit nervous since I'm going to start in a new school with new classmates, new teachers, new classes and all that.
But I'm hoping it all will go just well.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Anna.

Yeah, now school's ended and I have a lot of free time. I've been kind of occupied by my writing novellas, reviews and so on lateley and my art has suffered because of this. I can't promise anything, but I think I will be a little more active for a while now. I have a lot of ideas for different art pieces and will also continue to update my gallery with some graphical/editorial work of mine. Some photography will show up soon as well, but no traditionall art - at least not for now.

Lately I have also suffered from constant headache which makes it hard for me to sit by the computer to long. I hope it will begin to reduce now when all the stress from school is gone.
Anyway, I wish y'all a happy summer with lots of sun. It has been raining here for almost two weeks now, but hopefully the sun will show up a while soon ;]

Anna.

Hello everybody!
I've just returned home from a short vacation from Spain which was really great :] Now I'm free from school during the Easter and hopefully I will have some time for dA. I have over twohundred messanges to answer here and then I have my mail, a bunch of books I have to read and review, some friends I want to spend time with... Yeah, this six days of vacation will be quite busy. I will return to my Art wherever there is time. Hopefully, that will be soon.

/Anna

Yeah, yesterday I saw Metallica in The Globe Arena of Stockholm and they were just great! And last saturday I saw Judas Priest at the very same arena.
So I'm feeling really happny now, even though my neck hurts like hell. I can barely hold my head up... But I had a real blast and got to see two really amazing bands!

Just a little short update.
See you soon!
Anna

I have not so much to say, I just felt it was time to update my journal again.
I have an awful lot of things to do - even beside all the school-work. And I really want to be more online here and more dedicated to art, but it's impossible for me now. I take som photos, play around a bit in Photoshop and draw a little - that's all I have time for.
Today I was together with my cousin, her wonderful little daughter and my sister on the tropicarium of Kolmården where I took som photos. If you want to see some of them (besides the ones I've uploaded here) then check out my flickr account.

I wish you all the best! :]
Anna.

Yeah, as you can see I'm back. For a while at least, 'cause my computer is still messing with me, but we can get along a little better now anyway.

Today I have read, watched, faved and answered over 500 messages. I may not be alot, but it took a while!
And I just want to thank everyone who in some kind of way has supported me - both during this weeks when I've been gone and for the rest of the time I've been here on dA. Your support and compassion means so much to me, and I really hope you realise that.

I will start the preparatory school next year and I've chosen an orientation called "IT-Media" on a school namned John Bauer, and I really hope I will get in. This "course" (which last for three years) is all about graphical design, photography and television/film-making and I really feel that this is something for me. I get the chance to get an education in graphical design at the same time as I develop my skills in photography and filming. We will also learn using a lot of different editorial computerprograms and have the ability to shoot in a real studio. Besides that, there is a bunch of other classes you can take.
I'm really looking forward to all this, so wish me luck and hope that my grades is good enough for this.

I'll be back with you all soon!
Anna.

I'm so sorry for not responding to any of your comments and notes, but our internetconnection is torturing me. It works fine on any other computer in the house except mine. Like every 3th second the connection dies, so it's quite hard to be able to do anything online.

But as soon as I fix this little annoying problem, I'll be back on track!

Love
Anna

Merry christmas to all of you! This is truly my favorite time of year - all the buying of gifts, all the preperations for christmas eve and all the closeness you have to your family and friends :]

Anna.

Since it feels a little weird for me to have a lot of photographs here on dA, 'cuase I sees it like my digital art-page, I have started a Flickr-account where I will upload my photographical experiments.
I will submit some pic here on dA also, but not so much.

So if you want to check out my photographs, please go here - [link]

Hello! ;]
I will tell you a bit of what I've been up to lately.

Yesterday I was at the Book Fair in Gothenburg, Sweden. And it was great! So much book, so much people! :] I bought seven books, and three of them was by Meg Cabot and I got them signed ^^ and I got lots of nice free-stuff like books, pins, bookmarks, candy, booklets and lots of other stuff ;D wonderful day ^____^

I'm also working on a kind of surreal vampire-piece and having very fun :] then I have some ideas, but we'll see how it turns out xD

and then I just wanna say thanks to all of you who watches me, faves my works and giving me such sweet coments ;D
thank you so much for your support!



with love,
anna.

I think that I'm starting to get my creativity back, and it makes me so happy ;] now I'm just playing around in Photoshop and among my thoughts, not knowing what to do with my ideas... ;D I think I will submit a piece later today, and then we'll se what comes next ^^

Anna.

Right now I'm having some problems with my art. I feel really uninspired, but at the same time I really feel that I want to create art.
At the same time I'm feeling so damn tired all the time, moving around like a half-dead zombie. I slept nine hours last night, and I never sleep more then like six or seven hours, maybe not even that.
So I don't know how active I will be. I will check my messages and all your wonderful creations, but I don't know when I will upload anything new. I have a lot of things started, and even more idea, but nothing seems to be able to finish.
Maybe I will get my inspiration back soon. I hope so.

Anna.

I found deviantart through someone from another site who had her da-account as her website. And then I just looked at her works and found other artists and stock-photos and so on. But then I found =Princess-of-Shadows's account. I fell in love with her work. She's so amazing! And I have always wanted to make pictures in Photoshop but I have never been able to do that.
Now I suddenly found a site with great artists, a lot of wonderful photos I could use to my works and a lot of support and kindness.

And I'm so glad that I started with photomanips. 'Cause it's the most funny thing I ever done and I just love it. And then all wonderful kind and nice people here who give me nice coments - thanks to all of you, I have so much better confidence now.

Special thanks to *Rowiel , =Elandria , *CausticStock and =Princess-of-Shadows for all your advices, support and help.

~icarryyourhart - I love you dear. You're really carrying my heart. Thank you for always being there and always helping me. You're the one who's taking care of me when I'm going crazy.

Thanks!

Well, I'm back.
From a crappy week and I feel worse than ever. I have a lot of new ideas - mostly because I feel like I do. Posted one new today: frail heart. That piece feel really like me right now..

And I'm looking for new models for my artworks. I'll still gonna use the ones I use to but I want some new faces. And I'd like if the pictures are in dark gothic-style - like the one I use. If you like me to use your photos in my work send me a note or a coment.

And, at last, a big thank to *Rowiel for all the support and nice words you're giving me. Thanks so much hun!
