When I went to the US to visit in October I was finally able to get my hands on some Bristol artists cards that I meant to use at NYCC . Since I have a load of them left over, I’ve been using them for several different things. I love them and I think my favorite use of these have been to record tiny scenes from my daily life. (3.5″ x 2.5″ or 6.35 x 8.89 cm).
I’ve only had time for the 4 below so far. I intend to display them eventually in my apartment, somehow.
I drew this one when the espresso machine at work broke and I spent a few weeks buying my lattes in the subway before heading up to the office. In winter, in Sweden, it is very dark for a long period of time, and very cold. Every day it becomes harder and harder to wake up, and I find myself in a daze just dragging myself through the morning. I got my inspiration for this card when riding the escalator while in one of these dazes.
Because it’s so dark, it is still full on nighttime by the time most people are heading to work on winter mornings. As hard as the dark makes it to wake up, it does make for a lovely commute with a night sky above you the whole time. The inspiration for my second card came one morning while staring out at the Moon and one of the planets from the subway car. I realized that most people had their noses shoved into their newspapers, and no one cared about looking out at the sky.
The third one came about just to show where I spend most of my time at home: at the dining room table working at my computer.
The last one I just finished yesterday. I’ve spent almost every single Saturday morning for the past few months at a café in a nearby bakery either meeting up with a friend or going alone to draw. It’s become one of my favorite places to be in Sweden, and one of the best parts of my weekend.
I have so much fun making these, but I don’t have so much time for them. AS I create them, however I’ll continue to post them as well.
