free time.

um... yes please.

"Tears on Tape’ is going to be really organic, straight-in-your-face, super melancholy bulls— [Laughs]. It’s going to be something nobody’s heard before. I’m really happy about it. It sounds great. Remember the soundtrack for ‘Twin Peaks’ that Angelo Badalamenti did? It’s got that similar forlorn, melancholy quality but mixed up with Motörhead. That’s where we’re at! We’re really happy. It’s got that dreamlike quality. It’s like Roy Orbison meeting Metallica."

- Ville Valo , about the upcoming album ‘Tears on Tape’

*the above are some doodles i did this past weekend

over at the stardust HQ.

i've had a week off, and i've spent it painting,
watching twin peaks(my favorite) and eating watermelon.
and that stoker book i posted about. so good. read it.

~IN HIM WE TRUST~

more pearls..

Razorblade romance coasters.
this cd cover is the worlds most gorgeous cd cover ever,
and a favorite motif of mine.
so silly with different sizes but hey.
it rocks (!) and it looks good on my table.

more ville valo..

another one!

i might do the rest of the notebook with drawings like these of ville... i think there is about 25 sheets left. that would be a nice project to do and have. i haven't drawn properly in well, years... so these are not what they could have been lol. i have no patience.. so i rarely finish drawings completely, but i try..!

when i can't sleep in the middle of the night, i draw ville valo..

tiredness won over me. i don't think i'll finish it, and it is kinda ugly. sorry it's dark but it was night time!

it's been a loooong time since i've wanted to draw anything.. (even though i love it)

paintings are a little easier for me somehow, the last painting i did was of razorblade romance, perhaps i'll show the whole thing here sometime.. when i've finished it.

i just very much enjoy HIM.

christmas tree!

some gingerbreads,
instax mini's,
vintage decorations
and candy canes.

well, obviously!
happy holidays and
heartagram kisses!

mm..

Of all the little places i am going to soon....Helsinki mon amour.. is the favorite. can't wait! thanks for joining the tour stina ; )
The US and A next week. i will try to blog while i am there, on my sisters laptop when i have time for updates. the cities are san francisco-san diego-LA-san francisco. most of all i think i will learn just how much of a swede i actually am. that's going to be fun.
This summer feels so long now and never ending. that's a good thing for me.
And after that sometime.. Helsinki mon amour.

by HIM. of course.

this musicvideo is so gorgeous.
it reminds me of a Holga 120CFN camera.
i might want one now..!
i wanted the 120N earlier.
but this just made the 120CFN cool.
(CF=color flash).

*i love my holga 135. it is so good to me, even though i at times could be better at using it properly. we're going to be life long friends. never having to worry about batteries and so on. i've thought long and hard about trying 120 film. dangerous waters i know, but i think it will be a lot of fun while traveling.

a few things..

• the final season of LOST starts this month.. do you know what this means jenny?!
• the only good thing with the movies 2012 and zombieland is that woody is in them, and the cool special effects. that's it. the plots were really disappointing.
• i still believe in thrifting. very much.
• i can't believe it's raining. spring seems to come really fast.
• spring can't begin until after easter. i'm excited about easter this year.
• HIM please come to sweden?
• i want to spend as many days on the beach as i can this summer.
• avocado with lime, where have you been all my life?
• patti smith. thank you.
