The truth is, most of us discover where we are headed when we arrive.

On March 31 the Swedish Museum Of Natural History opens a new exhibition called Fossils & Evolution. My part of this production was to provide illustrations of the animals in their natural environment. With permission from the museum, I’m releasing the material on my website. I couldn’t have done these images without the help from the following people at NRM: 

Thomas Mörs - Senior Curator, Fossil Vertebrates 

Stephen McLoughlin -Senior Curator, Paleobotany

Christian Skovsted - Senior Curator, Fossil Invertebrates

Daniella Kalthoff - Curator, Zoology

Tove Frambäck - Producer

For the full series, go here.

After deleting my twitter account I’m continuing my descent into obscurity and irrelevance by moving to a small town in upstate New York. It’s quite exhilarating.

Maybe I’ll delete this blog next!

Tuesday Tips - Stay Inspired, no matter what inspires you. More of a general tip this week. Any reason to draw, paint, or create is a good one. For some artists, myself included, waiting for inspiration can mean “not creating art”. I’m always at my best when I just let any idea move freely, without judgement. If I wait too long to start on something, it just won’t happen. The simple act of putting something down on paper, no matter what, always triggers the good part of your brain that doesn’t over-analyzes and judges your tastes. I sometimes feel conflicted about sharing certain things I enjoy that are not “high-art” or acclaimed movies. What I’m trying to say is, don’t be shy about what you like drawing or creating. Just do it. People will be attracted to your passion for it because it will show through your work. In this instance, I’ve been patiently awaiting the release of the video game “Witcher 3″. Mind you, I’ve never played the first 2, but I feel compelled to get this one. So, feeling inspired, I just started to sketch some stuff based on the trailer and gameplay videos that were released. So, whatever rocks your boat, use it to push yourself forward artistically. No matter what happens, you’ll be having fun doing it, and that fun will shine through and connect with others. Who else will be playing this game when it comes out? I am. -n
