Guys, girls - after many, many requests I've finally updated my site with another tutorial. This time, it's about painting lips. Hope you enjoy :]

(oh, and www.furiae.com if you didn't know - go in through the gallery, you'll find it)

Please, please, please. I really do appreciate the effort, folks - it is so sweet of all of you to look after my interests. It is, however, becoming impossible for me to respond to all the emails and the notes regarding the t-shirts and postcards being sold with edited versions of my work.

I know :]

It's all legal. Don't worry, it's all good. A thousand hugs to all of you <3

Yawn, yawn, yawn.

Anybody care to yawn with me?

Just thought I'd put the notice here.

-I- did the designs for the 'The Mountain' t-shirts. I did. They're commercial designs and I'm getting a weeeeee bit tired of people accusing me of stealing my OWN work. Look the company up - it's easy enough - you'll see that the designs on those t-shirts are copyrighted to a Linda Bergkvist.

Then take a second look at my name. What is it? Fjodor Van Klump? No. It's Linda Bergkvist. Stop flaming me for making money off of my own work

Whee :}

Furiae.com is up and running again, and cgnetworks did an interview on me.

Life is good.

B-one.nu ate my webpage. Please standby for movement of it.

I'm now up to 8210 notes. Notes that completely consist of... *cue twilight zone music* favourites. I can't, like I've said before, check my notes anymore. Connection too slow for it. Again, I'm sorry, but I just can't.

Check Exposé for some of my images by the way I'll have four of them published in it.

My homepage has been launched

I am so, so, so sorry, everyone. The number of notes has now hit 3536, and that is after I've done several rounds from other computers, trying to erase quite a few.

This means that I still can't check my notes here. I am not trying to be rude to the people that write me notes, it's just that deviantart works very, very slowly for me, even without it having to road over 3k messages.

So, look at this as an apology. I simply can't look through the notes. I wish I could, but I can't.

Please, please, please…

Please, respect my copyright

I'm so tired of having my pictures uploaded to a myriad sites, send in all directions through email stationery, used in a thousand different websets, taken out of context and pasted into other images, or even just with the signatures replaced with someone else's.

As anyone that would bother to read my descriptions would know, these pictures mean a -lot- to me. I put a lot of heart and soul into every single one, and they're all meant to represent characters from a world I've created, and as such, they belong with their stories, and in their context, not anywhere else. I'm begging you guys, leave the images where I've uploaded them, or on your own computers as wallpapers, saved in folders, or screensavers -- but please, please, please do not, under any circumstances, upload them to the web

I've had my images sold, and resold, and used for commercial purposes, used on porn sites (??!), used to represent other people's stories and characters, uploaded and taken credit for as someone else's 'art', and misused and abused in all ways I can imagine... and I'm just very, very tired of it.

This is a plea for my fellow deviants not to do this. Please, show some respect... I'd really hate to take my work down from here, as it seems to be a huge source for theft right now -- all pictures here seem to end up all over the place.


Anyway... merry christmas, everyone. Thanks for listening.

Did someone just buy me a printing account? o..O

Whooooo?

I must give someone a hug, but I don't know whoooooooo....

Soon done colouring Fate of the Blade #4... 1, 2, and 3 are already available in the stores ;}

(that's a shameless plug, by the by)

I'm scared.

1316 people.

Watching me.

Feels like there are eyes everywhere...

I had a million tons of fun on Halloween. I made my own, big, black fairy wings - torn silk and industrial looking twirls of metal. I love them. I don't know what to do with them now, though.

The costume was a dark fairy one, and this is what I looked like:

I wish the wings would show, but they were too big to fit into the webcam Ah well. Err.

"you suck".

That's how elaborate the letters get, sometimes. I'd like to know more. What do I suck?

Lollipops? Ice cream? Something by far more intimate? Hedgehogs?

In which way? Sideways? Upside down? From the nostrils?

Since this particular letter wasn't too elaborate, I'll take the liberty of interpreting it my own way.

I suck hedgehog lollipops, sideways through my ears.

I hate going to the dentist.

Especially at 7:30 in the morning. It should be illegal.

...and tomorrow is Thursday.

Guess who's birthday it is?

Hurr, insomnia isn't fun.

On a brighter note... Fate of the Blade is out in the stores, now. I'm happy with how the colouring of it turned out.

On an even brighter note, I woke up from a cat's purring instead of the alarm clock this morning - very pleasant

Donnie Darko is a movie everyone should see.
