Marimekko-esque

One thing is for sure, I LOVE Marimekko…and I also love the kind of interviews they give to their designers. I thought maybe it’s time for a little self-reflection and you getting to know me better – so here it is, me interviewing myself the Marimekko style!

My greatest fashion icon:
Pin-ups & Stella McCartney. Quite a schizophrenic choice, I know.

The best fashion advice anyone ever gave me:
Wear whatever you feel like wearing!

The most important thing to remember when decorating a room:
Keep it airy & fun. Which is seriously an opposite of MY ROOM that is cluttered with shit stuff, there’s way too much furniture on such a small space, too many colors and really an unnecessary amount of clothes all around the place. Sigh. This is why I am dreaming about an airy, light, uncluttered and quietly whimsical room… 🙂

I work best when:
I’ve slept well, woke up early and have no worries or anxieties about anything (which is rare). Also, when I’m inspired by something…duh.

My most important mentor:
My grandma, maybe.

The word that best describes my design philosophy:
I’m still working on creating one actually…so far it’s “keep it fun and clean” but in this stage of my personal development the word could be GREENHORN. ;P

My first memory of Marimekko:
Seeing a Marimekko fatboy in an interior design shop few years ago. I still want one!

The shape I’m most fascinated with right now:
Mushrooms. Fish. Snowflakes.

Three things I can’t live without right now:
Ayurvedic teas, my cozy bed & eh…Wobenzym.

Three things I couldn’t live without when I was a teenager:
Black nail polish, Bravo Girl xD & my diary.

I relax by:
Reading, listening to ambient music, yoga & doodling.

If I were not working as a designer, I would be:
A vet, a biologist or maybe a horse* farm owner.

When I travel I always take:
A passport, curious mind and a bottle of water!

Sketch by hand or click on computer?
I prefer hand…the shape is more fluent that way and I feel more comfy doodling by hand.

The smell that reminds me of childhood:
Wet doggy fur of our Westie Glenn.

My favourite escape:
The forest. And travel books…I’m just reading one about a visit to Scandinavia, Scotland & Iceland. ^^

The colour that means comfort to me:
Warm green & creamy white.

The colour that means courage to me:
Red, black and dark blue.

Human ability to hurt & kill for no reason terrifies me.

A bouquet of colorful flowers and a handwritten note make a great gift to me. ^^

The best Sunday morning music:
Royksopp & Tori Amos.

My first job ever:
A stable cleaner & helper – this was an unpaid job. As for the paid one, it was a hostess job.

 

* I went horseriding yesterday after 7 years and I’m hooked again. OMG!!! You can expect many horsey doodles in the future… I’m going horseriding again on Nov 30th, maybe I’ll be even galloping this time…YEAH BABY.

Iceland horses with their happy riders in a beautifully snowy Finland. I'm envious!

A little class in mycology today…and there will be more (and more detailed, this was just a warm-up fungi sketch).
I love drawing fungi 😉 Ramaria obtusissima was drawn according to a real life fungus in front of me, the other fungi were drawn from a shroom book.

All the Elks in the World

I was supposed to be working on my Korean workbook, but I was doodling instead:

Click to enlarge.

For tomorrow I have some MUSHROOMS’ doodles prepared…if I can’t pick them, I can at least draw them, no? 😉 Maybe I’ll become a world-renowned mycological illustrator one day…but I still need a lots of practice AND A GOOD THIN GEL PEN GODDAMIT. 😉

Here’s a sneak peak…I might color them tomorrow.

This is not a coral, but a very weird BEIGE and/or YELLOW fungi.

 

Nao, good night & have nice elky dreams! 😉

Faces

Yesterday I was doodling random faces instead of writing a presentation for the K-Pop class (but I did it in the end!)….and this is the result:

My fave girl is the nerdy one in the ugly sweater. Which one is yours? 🙂

Dreaming Away

And one more doodle for today inspired by watching my Tibbie Gimli sleep by the bed:

Click to enlarge.

I wonder what do doggies dream about when they are asleep? Maybe they travel far away on clouds of imagination like the one above…

Drawn on an A5 recycled paper with STAEDTLER triplus fineliner, Gold-Cat HB pencil & Revlitz colorful pencils.

Seafoam

…stupid retarded scanner, the colors were much nicer *in real*. I think I must take a photo and include that here as well. >_>

This is a doodle of a seafoam fairy (?)…I don’t like the way I drew the lips but otherways it may be a beginning of some sea-themed doodlepic (doodle + topic…geddit? ^^) that is residing in my fuzzy head these days.
Yeah. Sea, pancakes and reindeers and/or elks. Tromsø? 😉

Illustration Friday – Afterwards

I have finally started to take part in Illustration Friday and this is my illustration on the topic AFTERWARDS.
The idea behind it?

After all the hardships, failures and sorrow comes a turn to the better…and you can feel free, soar and enjoy the good times again. Afterwards it’s all good.

 

 

P.S.: This post also means my comeback to the doodlesphere! I have TONS of doodles, I just have to scan them. And every week I will do my best to add an Illustration Friday doodle. 🙂
