Lovify

Lovify = interpreting people Lovisa style with ink in a simplified way. Every now and then I will post a portrait of and write a little about the people who inspire me,and hopefully you will get inspired too. This here is what the portraits might look like... 

This is Anna, whom I met while I was studying textile. This old classmate got some serious taste and her sixth sense as far as I know must be photography. Anna does her thing, goes her own way and is quite the adventurer, exploring the world. Also... she's dangerous competition at volleyboll!

What if

What if I called in sick

saying I can't come to whatever it is they want me to do today

because I'm not sure if I believe in all of this

getting up and doing the same thing every day in their order and way

Yes, I can see the point in it

Sure, I can understand

but... what if I just don't feel like it?

RUN! YouAreLateFor

oh no... what was it? I forgot 

but I remember 

that it was SO VERY IMPORTANT.

Sit! Listen! Talk... BARK!

 Grow up. No, you grew too much.

  Y o u      m u s t

find           your        inner        child       again

You HAVE TO  HAVE FUN!

Don't forget to smile. Show them your best sides

And you know exactly what sides that they want to see.

well what if...

 You just can't bring yourself to put clothes on

because they are not you

AND THEN

you can't walk out the house 

for you know

 they could actually SEE you. 

 yes

 and

Then what?

String of imagination

 

Lamp project: I wanted to knit one but I didn't have enough yarn for it (yeah, usually never have enough of the materials commonly used for making things. You poor student, you.)

 When I was about to give up on the idea my eyes fell onto the giant roll of super thin paper. The lightbulb in my head went on. I cut the paper into long strips, glued them together making them even longer and twisted those strips into yarn. Paper yarn. Just so the paper won't touch the bulb I made this steel wire thing inside of the lamp which also helps it maintain it's beehive like form.

 

Unusual coffee break

 

"KONSTPAUS I KAFFET"

I thought I didn't have a lot of paints... but I was wrong because anything can be paint.
This time I used soy sauce, red wine, hot chocolate, coffee and tea. Not the usual coffee break.

 

 

Job missing

My latest project: JOB MISSING

A more efficient way of finding your job

or actually

helping your job find you

"Hello! 

A while ago I lost my job, have you seen it? It was happy and creative and it loved to interact with other people. I am very fond of my job since we have been exploring a lot together such as graphic design, marketing, tailoring and designing costumes for theatre, acting, art and photography. My job does not only like to talk and write, it is also a good listener. It speaks Swedish, English and a little French and Hindi. Problem solving, team work and helping others is one of its greatest joys. Since it is adventurous and likes to go new places and learn new things it could be anywhere. Please, help me find it! If you know where it is or have any hints please contact me:

"Z=?"

Inside and around the Kalmar city library 54 people got the opportunity to contribute with something to this wall piece. 32 took that chance and scribbled down whatever they wanted, felt like and thought about. Some told whole stories in pictures, other spoke briefly in symbols. Some were reserved, some more deep in thought while others didn't mind sharing everyday things like they were going to call mom.

The sketches were resized and composed onto this canvas in acryllic. The Result: a painting filled with joy, playfullness, love, sunshine and alot of humor and also everything from small phenomenons to great existencial questions like which road should I take? Where will it lead me? and "Z=?"
