I think my art will have to sum up the years that has passed. I'm glad they are behind me in that sense I don't regret them but they were hard.
I'm a do-er and even though at times I've had this feeling that my life isn't mine and I'm something of a Sims character it's been amazing in terms of life lessons. I've really had to check out my ego at the door and focus on the important things in life. Me returning here is just a sign things are getting better and I can squeeze in me-time again.
These last few years I've written two books, I'm writing on two more, also working on 3 comics and still making art. Please note: I couldn't help writing and creating in this time but I didn't have time to find a publisher or editor or anything, I've just been creating stuff because I needed to.
With the lack of time and focus I'm amazed I've actually never stopped participating in art shows, most recent was this December 2017, the fun popart groupshow at Giant Robot Gallery in LA. It was an invitation only group show where the artists had to paint or draw on post-it's that were all sold at the same prize. Matt Groening, founder of the Simpsons, had a couple of pieces there as well as my pop realist painter friend Linnea Strid and a lot of my favourite artists were participating too. I sold something too, it was great. That kind of stuff humbles me a lot. I've had zero time on my hands to keep up networking and planning, but in the end lady luck sometimes smiles on me too
Oh time to fix some breakfast. I'll return. Not every second year like before Soon. How've you been?

Hello
Another update, that's right, I'm still lurking here although it happens quite seldom still. I am always overwhelmed by the sweet words and likes I find as I return, knowing I've been bad at updating since becoming a mother of two lovely girls. They are now 2 and 4 so time flies, doesn't it? Lately I've been writing a lot of manuscripts, so there has been very little recent art happening over all, but I do update my website www.anneliolanderberglund.com from time to time, feel free to check it out. I also try to stay as active as I can on ello, I love the space, free from commercial ads and weird algorithms.
This year has all been about re-f
Thank You
I've been so bad att answering comments and being active on deviantART, I mean, ok so last time about a year passed, now we're only talking months or weeks haha but still - I'm learning to deal with working on the hours I get in this very busy period of my life.
I'm very happy with my life as it is, but the things I had time to do before I had a baby just doesn't seem to work anymore - like answering comments or updating a lot. I'm not saying it's going to be like this forever, but for now, and for a while. I'm having my second baby this summer, so I'm expecting a year or two with more ghost appearances. But I'll do my best, and I read all y

So my oilpainting is finally finished - it's huge! I had so much fun painting it and I'll definitly keep working with oils. Next up on my list is finishing some illustrated books, I've been working with the manuscripts when I haven't been painting hence the silence here. I hope I can give you some sneakpeeks soon of the art tho! :) I've picked up vlogging again so if you want to watch me drawing or babbling visit my YouTube-channel!

Working on a series of oilpaintings
Hey hey! :heart:
I'm currently busy finishing my book (it's finished really, now I'm just doing minor edits and then printing it out and sending it to a bizillion publishers hoping someone might go for it!) and on top of that I've started on a new series of --- oilpaintings! That's right! The ink-lover is going for oil! I do love to work with different mediums and lately I needed to sort of stretch my old rusty artist bones.
It's been 10+ years ago since I worked with oilpaint but it's like meeting an old friend you kind of like more now even than you did way back when. So - a happy meeting!
I'm not very social right now so this is how I h
