You know, if you haven’t been reading Föruspen, you’re missing out!
This is cute Gregg. Gregg is the cutest.
The Föruspen writer/artist also has a tumblr account!
Whoa, look at this! *_* Such a pleasant surprise! I got a Gregg fan art by the awesome JesnCin! Truly made my day/evening and will most likely make my day throughout the week too!
You should take a look at her gallery and tumblr. As you can see on this piece she has a very lovely style! :)

On the iPhone and a lot of Android smartphones, there are great apps for scribbling, but it’s a bit awkward since you can only use your finger (or a special stylus). However, they are great for on-the-go searches, writing, notes, and web updates :]
Thanks for the answer, Blue-Ten! <3 I ended up getting an iPhone on a really super sweet bargain that won’t affect my monthly fees for phone services at all. Super sweet! Now all I gotta do is wait for it to get to my mail box! xD I’m pretty excited!
Opinions please!
What good reasons are there to get a smartphone?
I’ve been thinking of getting one for years but never had enough reasons. My cel phone is giving up on me and now I start thinking about it again but I am the kind of person who always think things through 10000% before getting something expensive… (comes from a person who’ve owned 2 phones until they died since 1998 and never owned a mp3:player because cd-walkman still works and laptop is good for mp3:s… lol)
I travel a lot. I love to optimize my use of time. I like to work. I like to draw. I like to write, make notes, look things up for reference whenever and wherever since I think a lot about projects all the time. And I usually bring my internetless laptop to work on when I do longer trips. But I have 30 minutes daily train travels - time I could use on better things!
I don’t want one particularly because I can listen to mp3’s or take photos, though. But it’s a plus of course! Is it possible to draw/scribble on a smart phone?
What are the pros and cons? :)
I sometimes wonder if I’ll ever reach the point where I don’t hate my art.
I’ve thought about this a lot lately, and I think this is the reason why I get so sad/melancholic when I see awesome art/artists. It really gets to me, as I love watching gorgeous art, I feel like no matter how hard I work…
I think every artist feel that way one way or another? Not sure though! Always striving to get better and look at awesome art and get “inspired” (aka get stomach aches of how awesome other artists can be - and how awesome you can’t be).
Maybe it’s a way to challenge oneself? After all, there are probably artists who look at your art and are inspired the same way! (I am super inspired by your art, but I know that I can’t reach the exact level on some of your aspects - but I can try, and work hard, still!)
It’s important to look at your own art with a critical way, I think. It shouldn’t be destructive, though (is it for you?) - could backfire sometimes. But I can be pretty content with a piece I made 1 week ago, but after a while I don’t like it, see what I could’ve done better an try to think of it next time I draw similar stuff.
Maybe it’s not as much about accepting/loving your art- but accepting the progress of getting better (“hating”/critisizing) and look for good things once in a while? I think it’s a good thing to allow yourself to find good aspects in your art and your progress - I mean, by not being affraid of liking your art just a little bit - applauding yourself for improvements made on the way. It won’t make you stop evolving - as long as you are aware of the progress and keep striving to get better, look for errs. :)
Not sure if I make much sense!
You are an awesome artist and you should feel better about your art, but don’t stop striving to get better. :3
