Illustration friday
« Previous EntriesIF-brave
Sunday, March 7th, 2010All Norwegians are born with skis on their feet. At least that´s what they say. I have to admit, I can´t find mine. a friend said he believed they were cut off together with the umbilical cord. I think that sounds like a reasonable explanation. Even though i actually have tried my skis on this [...]
IF-perspective
Sunday, February 28th, 2010Nothing puts my thoughts about life in perspective like watching a National Geographic program about space. Be it the moon-landing, dark energy, how space was created from nothing and expanded to infinity in a split second.
How can I illustrate that in a good way though?
This quote by Aldous Huxley really got to me, and I [...]
IF-propagate
Saturday, February 20th, 2010IF´s theme this week is PROPAGATE. I didn´t know what the word meant, so I looked it up:
To cause to continue or multiply by generation, or successive production; — applied to animals and plants; as, to propagate a breed of horses or sheep; to propagate a species of fruit tree.
Kreativitet avlar kreativitet… Creativity propagates creativity.
This has [...]
IF – afloat
Saturday, February 13th, 2010Illustrations Friday´s theme this week is afloat. For once a very easy theme, full of dreamy longing, both literarily and symbolically.
The lyrics are from “Did I dream” or “Song to the Siren” by Lost Witness. Sung by Tim Buckley, This Mortal Coil, Robert Plant, the Czars, Laurie Freelove, to mention some. My favorite might be [...]
IF- muddy
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010Just a quick one this week, as life is busy happening. I kept hearing Aretha Franklin singing in my head: “I´d rather drink muddy water than have a man that I cannot trust”.
IF – focused
Saturday, January 30th, 2010Illustration Friday´s theme this week is Focused. I found this quote, that I really liked, on a quote-site. I think the quote could just as well be for women, but traditionally, I guess it´s a masculine virtue to be focused on one thing at a time, while women are supposedly able to think of several [...]
If-clumsy
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010This is a totally ironic piece, as women (usually) are far safer drivers than men!
IF – wilderness
Saturday, January 16th, 2010If´s theme this week is Wilderness. And even though I saw a jungle in my head, I kept hearing Madonna´s “Like a virgin”-lyrics from the 80s:
I made it through the wilderness, somehow I made it through, didn´t know how lost I was, until I found you.
If-contained
Monday, January 11th, 2010This is what life feels like at the moment. I am contained inside the snowed down house in the winter snow glass-globe. (Yes, that is my house) And it is too cold to really be doing anything outside the house. The water pipes have all frozen, so no more hot baths when the cold seems [...]
If – renew
Monday, January 4th, 2010Well, this isn´t exactly a cheerful image. And quite a contrast to the last post. But when IF launched their theme on Friday, and I an hour later read an article about how the START-agreement from 1991 expired on December the 5th, I couldn´t shake the idea on doing something on the nuclear threat.
The START-agreement [...]
