A throwback photo from wayyyyyyyy back when - 8 years and 6 Tumblr accounts ago. I'm still wearing diapers, I'm still doing (and now teaching!) yoga, and that is still my favorite yoga mat.
looking through my 2014 folder i noticed there were far less full-colour illustrations than 2013 - it probably had to do with the fact that i drew a full-colour webcomic at the time.... which i will tell u about some time i guess? im a bit embarrased about it because I had such big plans for it i drowned in performance anxiety and had to quit :(
the first image is a page from the first ever comic i made about diana & charlie! it was a 24 hour comic, 24 comic pages made in 24 hours. it's the only time i've succeeded. i still have a nostalgic liking for it, even after all these years. 💕i also drew some silly trans magical girls that got spread around all over the internet and also got me a lot of hate mail lol..... i ALSO went through THE most intense naruto phase where me and my friend created an alternate universe where they went to high school in sweden........ good times.
honorable mention: 2014 was the year i published the picture book Blompojken, which will have a throwback post of its own some day. 🌸
This week's #throwbackthursday goes waaaay back to Tuesday, when two of my father figures came to the Ready Room to talk about Star Trek. I love my space family so much, and I am so grateful they see me, and love me unconditionally. https://www.instagram.com/p/Clo1k8rygEB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
In 2019, I got my first spinning wheel due to serendipity, the kindness of friends who knew what to keep an eye out for, and some determined amateur restoration work. I already knew by that time that I loved spinning, and I had just begun to dream that someday this could be part of my professional artwork. I'm so excited to start selling my first handspun yarns, and I can't thank you all enough for coming on this journey with me.
to bring up an old phenomenon: it's throwback thursday!
i've been posting my art online for most of my life, and 2013 is a bit of a special year, as it's the first year i can look back at and actually LIKE some of what i drew back then. still, i was 18-19 when i made these.... time flies, but i it really feels like a lifetime ago
i'm gonna do a few more of these nostalgia posts on more thursdays!! im really curious of how long you have been around since then haha... is there anyone who remembers these?
Throwback Thursday... to that recent Sunday.
Scribble-coloured this one between the story-doodles. Who said I must throw that Thursday too far back.
I do not know how and why Hellraiser and Pinhead from the 1980s keep me sane in this insane world of 2023? Still trying to figure out the link. But one look at him and I am like, "'dis iz fin3!"
