An illustration based on the "this is fine meme" . But instead of the dog drinking it's coffee while being surrounded by fire, it is the Gävle goat. Three birds are perched on it's head, eating and ripping out straw.

Very halloween-y looking woods when walking yesterday.
(Mobile phone) shot of a wide pathway in the woods. The weather is very gray, a bit misty and everything is very brown and wet.

Ideas for a new icon? Keeping the colors from the old one but switching it up a bit. These are very rough I know but please help me pick! 😭

Combinations or other ideas are welcome too. (I sketched these hoping it would help me know what I wanted but it made me more unsure lol) #dianajsketches
Rough sketch examples for 9 new icon ideas. They're all of me (but cuter).

Some quick sketches + a quick study of "Scully" in the sunlight.
Quick head sketches. One of proportions/simplifications I like and the other of the "freiren angle". Study from a photo of my plastic fake skull (lovingly named scully) placed on my speaker, bathed in sunlight.

I'm making a sketches thread/hashtag since it's pretty rare that I have time for more polished pieces with my uni work and I really want to try to make room for sketching at least. Please feel free to add tips and requests here too ♡

Had hoped to draw more this weekend but got busy with existential dread (and couldnt find my pen). But managed to do a mermaid sketch. 🧜🏼‍♀️
A rough drawing of a green mermaid swept up a bit on the beach but still in the water. Looking to the left outside of frame.

Bit of an older refined sketch of my oc Quinn. They're leaning their elbows on the table (rude?). Quinn is looking at the viewer with a slight smile.

It's that time of the year when it's impossible to know what the weather is by looking at what people are wearing.

Spotted these two standing next to eachother at the commuter train station.
Doodle of two people standing at a trainstation. One is in a t-shirt, slacks, sunglasses and heels and the other is bundled up in a hoodie and a big puffer jacket.

Silliness aside. I went on a day trip the other day to a ceramics museum + factory. & I totally fell in love with the cutest fox vase. (Keramikstudion X Kagoshima Mutsumi Flower Vase "En Liten Vän")
I put it next to the wonderful work by @moosekleenex.bsky.social , don't they look cute together? 🦊
Photo of the little stylized fox vase. Behind it is a beautiful painting of foxes.

Sonic.
Photo of a single sonic balloon, stuck at the ceiling at the commuter train platform at stockholm central station. Still doing his thumbs up pose, almost mockingly. Why are you so positive sonic?!

Morning thoughts about "AI".

Where do we go from here?
Thoughts about “AI” Yes it’s: The slop The theft The brainrot The loss of work The crumbling of creator rights The destroying of the environment and infrastructure But it's also the destroying of trust in anything that you’re not seeing with your own eyes right in front of you. Wonder now turned to the narrowing of eyes in immediate scepticism seeing something magical. Questioning the realness of everything from a stilted written apology to profound works by students in school. It feels like a slow poison to creativity and humanity at large. [At the bottom is a doodle of me, mouth a thin line, looking at the viewer]

9. Visby Domkyrka #digitaltraveljournal #art
Text: Visby cathedral (800 years old in 2025) [3 sketches of some of the ornaments on the outside] arent Gargoyles and Grotesques the best!? [Photo of one of the stained glass windows with a sketch of myself standing in front of it]. I loved the style of the windows! (Not even going to try to draw them 😆) [image of the detail of another window, below it i sketched two birds from it] Birds here too! This oak and blackbird themed window was really cute.

6. Visby ! #digitaltravelournal #art
Visby, often called "the city of roses" or "the city of ruins". A unesco world heritage site. The town center is encircledl by a 3.4 km town wall, built 1250-1288. And is a really well preswrved medieval city. I made A simple doodled map of visby with an arrow where we used to enter visby with our bikes. Also doodles showing where we were staying. [Speech bubble: Did you know? Hayao Miyazaki visited Visby (and Stockholm) in the 70's for the planned adaptation of Pippi Longstocking. It fell through but the reference photos were later used for the move Kiki's delivery Service]
