My idea is to get some printed and put them all over Stockholm, and also change the QR-code to a tumblr dedicated only for good deeds, charity etc. Right now it links to my own art blog (this one), but it’s only for show until I can come up with some clever name. Along side with this is another project which I will begin with later this year. It has something to do with winter so that’s why and it’s basically spring now so I don’t really feel that I’m in a rush.</p>http://roseannhallgren.tumblr.com/post/44802300650http://roseannhallgren.tumblr.com/post/44802300650Thu, 07 Mar 2013 21:32:00 +0100pay it forwardrose hallgrenrose-ann hallgrenhaley joel osmentpeacelovecharityhow to make the world a better placehow toartartists on tumblrspacerosie<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9139740199d1e919f5a8b6e8a188545f/tumblr_mj5dg3tqek1qbzfceo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>I have no specific name for this project, except that I call it <strong>Dancing On My Own</strong> when I refer to it in my mind (I do that).</p> <p>It’s about being independent really. Of how ones own world can be ones company, especially as a child. Sometimes all you have is your imagination and it can lead you to wonders no one else can experience. I chose to illustrate this with my transparent monsters and a tree that I once used to play in before they cut it down. </p> <p>The photos I used are some I took right outside my building.</p> <p>Also, I think of this quote from Dumbledore; <strong>Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?</strong></p> <p><strong>1.

I ended up with Lana Del Rey who I’ve been listening to constantly for the past 24 hours. So now I have a floating Lana-head and I didn’t know what to do with her so I placed her in the outer-space where she can keep floating with the stars. </p> <p><strike>I made a GIF of the process, but it doesn’t work and it sucks because I did spend some time doing it. </strike></p> <p>The GIF now works! Mine was too big, I now know it has to be 1 MB or under and 500x500 pixels. Thank you whoever you are that gave me that information. It was very helpful. :)</p>http://roseannhallgren.tumblr.com/post/40946031134http://roseannhallgren.tumblr.com/post/40946031134Sat, 19 Jan 2013 21:07:00 +0100lana del reydel reyrose-ann hallgrenrose hallgrenspacespacerosiearteatsleepdrawIllustrationmusicorionorion nebulaborn to die<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c094ea7ff47cba3772773bce74bcdc88/tumblr_mfpfr1i9la1qbzfceo1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b06ba6d9b8bffcec36efb57523769ce4/tumblr_mfpfr1i9la1qbzfceo2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p><em><strong>The Adventure Bubble Air Balloon Ship. (</strong></em>40 x 50 cm)</p> <p>This is a kind of fairytale-fantasy-childrensbook-thing I made this Christmas for my boyfriend. I didn’t have any proper plan when I started sketching, I just kept on adding small things (such as one extra propeller on the one already existing, bubbles, wings etc).</p> <p>I loved making this (and yes, I say that about everything I make). I only got panicked two times when my brush drew black ugly lines over the piece. I always wash my brushes properly, I even have routine for it, but this must have been a grave mistake. Lucky for me I noticed I could use my eraser and rub them out without even damaging the paper? </p> <p>To Eternity and Beyond!</p>http://roseannhallgren.tumblr.com/post/38970011889http://roseannhallgren.tumblr.com/post/38970011889Thu, 27 Dec 2012 20:35:00 +0100rose-ann hallgrenrose hallgrentri forcetri-forcecolorfulwater colourcolourfuladventureballoonfantasyartspacerosiecuteIllustrationcopicchilderns book<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me273sFCcK1qbzfceo1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me273sFCcK1qbzfceo2_r1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p><strong><em><span>This is about perfection.

That is the only hint I will leave you, because discovering things by yourself is way better. </span></p> <p><span>I shot these photos for an exhibition about Identity and I wanted to reflect the way many girls (and boys) feel nowadays. Some didn’t want to look at my work, feeling the sickness of it. Some couldn’t breathe. Some people loved it. Some shed a tear. And that is exactly what I am looking for. Reactions. Because it is important to feel, to act.</span></p>http://roseannhallgren.tumblr.com/post/36531021145http://roseannhallgren.tumblr.com/post/36531021145Sun, 25 Nov 2012 20:50:00 +0100rose-ann hallgrenrose hallgrenspacerosieartphotographyidentityanorexiaeating disordermediaselfesteemcontrol<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me1ot3M0pC1qbzfceo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><em><strong>Aprilfool.</strong></em></p> <p>A set of photos of Stockholm, Sweden.

I’m very in to details and symbols, and I usually come up with most of them during the process and I really like it that way. It’s almost like an adventure.
