The kids came in shouting; We must help the slow worm! It has made a knot of itself!
And they helped him. And named him Oskar. Now they are busy collecting worms and bugs for Oskar to eat.
And they know EVERYTHING about the life of slow worms.
The small elephant is mine. Happy to have found her. On Tradera.

A cool day in the archipelago close to where we live. Tjust skärgård.
No other links. Just sun. And clog-days continue.

Home-days. Beach-days. Clog-days. And small devils, an illustration from latest issue of Karavan.

Old Pictures.

The rubble from the area shown on the top pic will be removed to the heap on the second pic. A heavy summer project... Hopefully it will give me biceps like an amazon woman and, in the end, a small place for herbs.

Today it is summer. Garden full of flowers, and hockey players.

Working with books is the best. Two new ones are slowly progressing, and this third (illustrations by me, not text) will be out in late september. These wolf/fox illustrations are from none of them, but I feel like discovering something new. To lie on the floor, drawing and painting with no other goal than waiting for things to pop up.
Just like when I was a child.

Living in the countryside, these daily animal meetings are happy moments! (When they take place far away from cars and roads.) This weekend, by our house: Mallard with ducklings, a horse in the distance, and a very curious weasel.

Summer holiday! The children have been longing for this day. Rain is pouring down, but we don´t care!

Really like the 3D work by Irene Schoch.

Every weekday morning the village were I work welcomes me with this small lesson in geometry. And this handsome blue man smiles sweetly
at me by the door to my office.

Handmade Flea Circuses! Inspiration for work in progress. More to come...

Happy green days! The gravel road to the office in Mörtfors, things growing in the window sill, and the allium (soft ice cream-shaped) is from the garden. The name of the red cabbage is Red Express. Man in red cap is named David Olsson.

Modern English Humour(?) But the last comic strip is quite cute.

Favourite English Humour:
Smack the pony 1
Smack the pony 2
And another one here.

Found this book, Modern Danish Humour, printed in 1958, in a second-hand store. I really don´t know why I find it amusing.
Jokes that are not funny... Humour that once has been fun (?) but is no longer, because of the passing time.
Soon I will show you the essence of Modern English Humour.
Can you wait?

No 1 comic-strip drawing: The ventriloquist

No 2: The hitchhiker

Ölands djurpark... (Öland Zoological park). Didn´t find the lions.

Something totally different:

Big thanks for your orders and thanks for stopping by the shop!
Postman Anita is on her way to pick up the parcels.

Missa inte Annan Konst, Göteborgs Konstmuseum. Sista dag på söndag.

Shop is open! Welcome to take a look. A small scale start it is, but I have been longing for a place like this where my books can continue living and where they can find new readers in the coming future. And it is inspiring to have a platform for new projects, as the cards above! 8 different motifs, in a bundle of 16 cards. Size is 5.8 x 8.3 inches and they are printed on uncoated paper, 300 gsm. You can use them as invitation cards, postcards, greeting cards or just whatever you like.

Inspiring: The box (!) for the Tivoli-tableware, by Alf Jarnestad. Nice handwritten typography outside the Visby café and hotel Rosas and on the cookbook Hirams Kokbok.

Utställning, Blekinge Museum, med Alf Jarnestads porslin och bilder.

Mer om Hirams Kokbok.

My last day in Visby and this week has been so good! No writing today, only some drawing, just for fun. Was lucky to find new paperbags, a hidden flea market that only existed for a few hours and the last magnolias in bloom. Tomorrow I´m leaving for country side life. And my bags are filled with work, and asparagus.

Heard a program about Henry Darger on the radio. More of his images here.

Can´t remember when I gave myself the time to walk around in a library without beeing in a hurry. (Can´t remember when I last visited a library...) Look at the shelves at the comic books section at Almedalsbiblioteket! Nice aren´t they?!
Books by these four, in the photo above, followed me back to my room: Annie Leibovitz, Christer Glenning, Katja Tukiainen and Coco Moodysson.
