Violence

We do these kind of stuff in my Graphic Design Foundation class. Or most of the part we sketch and do perspektive drawing but this weeks homework was to paint with Gouache and Pastel-colour which i hadnt tried before. Liked the gouache colour very much coz it became much stronger than watercolour and didnt go pale after it tried. Hard to see on the pictures above but ive used alot of water to get the light colours in those.

EDIT: After seeing some of the others work of this homework on todays class, my really sucks!! but that's okey coz i haven't done this stuff before and they're all graphic design students and I'm here to learn :).

Today I got a great nostalgic moment when i found a tv-show that i watched when I was younger. I found this list of: Top Ten 80's theme songs, and this show was numer one and when it started to roll i immediacy recognised it, memories came back and everything felt great haha.

I watched a lot of American tv-shows when i was younger coz we had The Childrens Channel (TCC) and a bit later on; Cartoon Network. Which was really good coz i learned alot of English by watching that. But yes i also watched the ordinary stuff on SVT and other stuff, Bumbibjörnarna (Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears), The Smurfs, Trasdockorna (The Raggy Dolls), the one that was about the blood cells, viruses and people who lived inside the body to teach you how the body worked in different situations but i cant remember its name...

But the ones that i truly remember and attracted me was the animated american action-shows like G.I. Joe, Transformers and M.A.S.K. Ive listed the theme songs from each show and just listen, its fantastic, genius, still awe-dropping, exciting and fun:







And the one that triggered my flashback of nostalgia was Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors:



Just listen to that synth in the background!! (dutidutidutidutidblipblapblipblipblipdutidutiduti)

So much violence, but I love it. Yeah, still! (The worst thing is that i thikn ive written about this a few years ago, but what the hell, cant rmb everything :p)

What tv-shows affected you the most when you were growing up?

EDIT:

The show that i couldnt rmb its name, was...Once upon a time... Life!



There was also a SPACE-version of this show, listen to the funky theme song here.

Åh trasdockorna! Måste jag visa Lova...hon är ju helt hooked på "Trolltyg i tomteskogen" nu. Jag gillar att hon kollar på sånt som jag kollade på när jag var liten :) Barnprogrammen var ju så mkt bättre då!
