There's this sketching paper I've been using for years, and it just has the best grain, and now I can't find it anywhere locally and ordering online comes with almost 20 euro postal fee.. I will try to finish my current illustration project with the sheets I have left. Broke #illustrator problems 😅

Oho! I said when I checked the status of my application to the doctoral program in design at Aalto university. I was already planning how to move on from a rejection, but I was accepted! I'm going to be doing practice-based #designresearch and I could not be more excited (and a bit scared).

Today when I took the bus to go swimming I saw a pride flag on a balcony and felt happy. There’s been depressing anti gay and trans news recently and seeing a display of solidarity felt like an antidote. Also saw smiling happy people in the center or #turku 💜 Lets keep spreading joy and not hate ok?

Nästa regering I Finland måste ta klimatkrisen på större allvar än den nuvarande - det anser kanslicheferna vid ministerierna inför den kommande valrörelsen. Ingen talar nedvärderande om oron för krig så varför tala förklarande om klimatoro, frågar Hbl:s ledarskribent.

LEDARE: Jämställ klimatet med försvaret i nästa regering

Kanslichefernas hälsning till valrörelsen.

Photo session in #Turku center with the #Nikon for work today. I really do love this city, even in winter. But during summer everyone loves Turku. #photography #city #park #tulips

We watched Jim Jarmusch’s film Paterson yesterday and it made my 20 year old say he wants to throw his phone away and start writing in a notebook instead. We agreed that the absolutely best movies inspire us to make art ourselves. #film #filmsky #poetry

Current crochet/knitting projects! A pink scrap yarn blanket that my older daughter commissioned, a violet knitted sweater for my son, a large granny square blanket. And the big bag of yarns at my feet in the living room. My son is choosing a sunday movie for us. #knitsky #crochet #knitting #yarn

Uärgh gjorde misstaget att öppna kommentarsfältet på De Grönas kvinnodags-inlägg på Facebook. Verkade till 99 % vara hatiska kommentarer. Antar att en del av det där är koordinerat trollande. Men det är fascinerande hur feminism är så provocerande för högerextrema. Fast inte så överraskande heller.

Bought some flowers today because of good work news for my partner. Times are hard and we have to celebrate every glimmer of hope.

Yo. Nils Bielke was a tough guy with a lace collar, pretty silk bow around his chest and an absolutely perfectly fluffed beard. Can’t wait to get to the coloring so I can highlight that precious lace and beard. #illustration #history

Omg im so happy I’m in a choir again from today and practice was so much fun now i will never stop being in choirs again this 20 year gap because of kids and life chaos is OVER 🙌 I’m ready to practice so much and give my life to this choir ✊

Beautiful weather today 🩵 I was out for grocery shopping and errands. But otherwise I’m stuck at the laptop all day working on an exiting research proposal with a very fast deadline 😅 If that all goes well I hope to be able to start a new large research related undertaking later this year ✍️

As someone who works with design in social&healthcare education in Finland I have to say the recent choice for minister for the sector makes me feel like throwing up. The ”True Finns” are detrimental for health&welfare in this country. They only care about playing a political game with this choice.

Adobe Acrobat has to be the most fun sounding/least fun to use of all programs

Had to take sick leave today. The flu that was brewing for almost 2 weeks finally broke out in the weekend + migraine. It’s weird though how incredibly fast a day goes by when I’m ”doing nothing”…

Working on illustrations for a historical book tonight. Nice to get back to drawing and listening to audiobooks (listening to Empire of normality by Robert Chapman). Audiobooks is my neurodivergent trick to keep my focus on drawing 😅 #illustration #audiobooks

This is totally unsurprising to me. And gives all the proof you need if someone claims patriarchy doesn’t exist or ”feminism has gone too far”. It’s like this ”at the top” and you just need to look at internet a bit to see it’s the same structure almost everywhere www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

The electricity prices this year will cause a lot of stress to many. Luckily our costs are normally quite low, but the Jan bill was already double. So far at 7.2 the costs are already up to 75 % of a normal month. So i’m guessing it will end up being 3x higher in Feb 😖 #pörssisähkö

This just has to be shared.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

I tried Claude today and made a meditation webpage with visuals and ambient sounds. I guess this is vibe coding? I'm not a programmer, but I've made an html page from scratch in 2003. This way was so simple.. and fun! Now I get the hype about how this will change programming as an occupation...

Pulling myself through this day with flu symptoms and migraine and a totally full schedule and organizing a public event in the evening. It will be fun I’m sure, and I really don’t want to miss it as the main organizer, but my body is like 🫠😓 Also not sure if my voice will last through the evening 😅

"Just gotta get through this week," he said, every week

I just realized what my theme will be for a next solo exhibition. I might have time to have one in 2027 😅 This year my artistic/freelance work will be mainly focused on illustrations for another history book. I'm just getting started on that more properly after some research done last year.

Today the winter weather has felt bitingly face hurtingly cold 🥶

Saturday 31.1, 12-15, I will be present at Mökki Galleria with Minna Scheinin and Riitta Hidén! I missed the opening, so this is my chance to hang at the gallery for a bit 😁 Kom och säg hej, tule moikkaamaan ja katsomaan meidän taidetta! #artist #artexhibition #painting #photography #sculpture

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

Decided to try Affinity today and cancel my personal Photoshop subscription. Affinity seems like a perfectly fine substitute, and free. And vector, pixel and layout all in one program. Also, I'm tired of having to subscribe to everything. I still remember having Photoshop from a cd 😅
