roseannhallgren: I decided to call this typeface Paper Cut...

Fri, 07 Jun 2013 02:59:44 -0400

I decided to call this typeface Paper Cut because of all the paper cuts I got while working on this project.

Ok. So here I’ve cut out paper stripes and formed them into letters, cutting here and there to let light in and playing with the shadows.
I arranged the light, took a photo and then continued the work in Photoshop. I really wanted to get the shadows right, they’re all horizontal at the bottom, and I really wanted the contrast to show! I make it sound a lot less complicated than it really was, but I guess that’s just the way it usually is.

This was way fun, but I did hate it sometimes when I couldn’t get the letters right or if I cut too much off and had to start over again. THAT was frustrating. It doesn’t sound like a big deal to rage about, but since each letter took me over 3 hours to work with I think you could understand.

So here it is, my Paper Cut.

I hate to sleep, and this is what I do instead.

I really just love her. A lot.

roseannhallgren:

I have no specific name for this project, except that I call it Dancing On My Own when I refer to it in my mind (I do that).

It’s about being independent really. Of how ones own world can be ones company, especially as a child. Sometimes all you have is your imagination and it can lead you to wonders no one else can experience. I chose to illustrate this with my transparent monsters and a tree that I once used to play in before they cut it down.

The photos I used are some I took right outside my building.

Also, I think of this quote from Dumbledore; Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?

roseannhallgren:

This poster was inspired by the movie Pay It Forward. My idea is to get some printed and put them all over Stockholm, and also change the QR-code to a tumblr dedicated only for good deeds, charity etc. Right now it links to my own art blog (this one), but it’s only for show until I can come up with some clever name. Along side with this is another project which I will begin with later this year. It has something to do with winter so that’s why and it’s basically spring now so I don’t really feel that I’m in a rush.

Things no one wants to happen...

Comrades.

Another tragedy. I’m all in for what is right, and all in for justice. This means no more Mr. Niceguy and I just wrote an open letter to my moms exboyfriend who recently hit her, plus did many other things. Bad things. Things you don’t do to someone you love, or say you do.

I felt guilt. Which is weird. I only did the right thing to tell the truth. I felt that I had to do it, because no one else would or will. I know that when something bad happens to you, you’re kind of in a mode of weakness, pain and everything is silent yet it is not so. So with my clear mind, I wrote the letter. A nice letter considering the things he’ve done to her.

I’m not afraid of him. I won’t let him near. I’m not scared and I don’t care what he say. Because all my life I’ve been fighting for what is right, no matter what. And this is the moment when you really need to bring out you ultimate courage. No one is allowed to hurt my mother. No one. Not ever. Not in this sick way.

Two years ago someone tried to rape me, I got away. But I had no one to really talk to, and I was just existing on my bedroom floor. I didn’t tell the police. I would never win. Especially since I live in Sweden. And it is from that experience I know the feeling of not really wanting to do what I should, speak out the truth.

So now I will do it for her.

I love you mom, so much.

Hola comrades.

ESD loves me, that feels good.

At the moment it is way past bedtime. I have my endless insomnia, but now the admission tests also jumps on my head. I only have 21 days left, and I should be done within 14 if you ask me. I should, but I probably wont. Oh boy I do hope I’m wrong. I hope something just hits me and then BAM it is all over. I keep sighing.

This is mostly a sad post. I’m warning you.

This year started out so bad. The doctors were too slow, and healing too boring…and slow. And I felt so lonely. And ugly. And fucking hungry. And I was thinking, this stupid surgery is stealing my time, all the time. Unholy.

Now I’m stuck with this vision I have for one of the tests. Maybe I’m too tired. Maybe I should call for hands up above.

Lana Del Rey

When you can’t sleep you might as well stay awake and draw something. I ended up with Lana Del Rey who I’ve been listening to constantly for the past 24 hours. So now I have a floating Lana-head and I didn’t know what to do with her so I placed her in the outer-space where she can keep floating with the stars.

I made a GIF of the process, but it doesn’t work and it sucks because I did spend some time doing it.

No appendix, but I think I’m still pretty.

And having an evil appendix is most certainly not fun. Ugh, and I was sent back home with the pain, because the doctors though I would be ok. I went back 1,5 days later and had to start all over again. Stupid doctor. A couple of hours later I had my surgery and it all went well, except for the fact that I was pretty uninformed about stuff I had to know. I was freezing as fuck while I was asleep after the surgery so when I woke up four hours later I was shaking so much I really just wanted them to tie me to the bed or something.

So what could have been simple, quick and not so expensive…well, just wasn’t.

I could have gotten a better start, but I’m sure the rest of the year will be awesome.

Hey!

This is Rose-Ann Hallgren writing, aka Spacerosie in cyberspace.

I switched my address to my art blog to http://roseannhallgren.tumblr.com/ because I want my real name out there. If you like my art, please follow and spread it across the world. When people do this, it makes me so happy I can’t sleep because of the hype. I feel so small out here and the fact that I can reach someone out there is…way beyond cool.

Thank you for visiting, and I hope to hear more from you on my art blog.

And of course you will hear a lot more from me!

With love

Jag älskar honom något otroligt. Det vrider sig i hjärtat för det blir så mycket som finns där och allt är så fint. Jag har aldrig mött en sån underbar människa. Och han blir bara vackrare för var dag, visste inte ens att det gick.
