Status change

Well, from today onwards I’m a freelancer. Or perhaps it sounds better to just say writer and illustrator – or why not artist.

I’ll be mostly working on my second SF-book in January, and taking on a few illustration projects. I’ll also be writing film and theater reviews and planning a podcast. So spring is packed with awesome work.

It’s an amazing feeling to be able to finally work full time with writing fiction and making art. And I’m happy to discuss any work commissions or suggestions for collaboration (in that case send an email to jennykwiik [at] gmail.com).

Happy new creative year 2014!

New web pages: Society6 and Tumblr

Some news! I started a Society6 shop just before the new year. Currently I have four illustrations there for sale:

I’m very excited about it! Even though I have no idea if anything will sell. But at least it’s out there (and I might buy something for myself and as gifts for friends anyway).

I’ve stopped using Instagram because of the changes they’ve made in terms, and am focusing on using my Flickr-account more actively instead. But since I just loooove the web, I couldn’t just stop using one service without trying on a new one (yes, I know that sounds very healthy). So I’m now also on Tumblr (kolofont), and so far I’m loving it! I post and reblog images mostly, but sometimes with a little comment. I actually miss blogging in English, but as this is more of a personal web page for me, I’m going to use Tumblr as an English language blog. So if you’re on Tumblr, please follow me! I’m looking for more cool people to follow there…

This blog

The reason I’m starting this blog is that MobileMe is turning into iCloud, so my old web page is going to disappear (because I’m not going to jump into the iCloud). As I’m very happy with WordPress blogs, I’m staying here. I mostly blog in Swedish at Kolofont, so I will not be updating this blog very often.

But why not take the chance to create something new here?

In the different pages (About, Art, Research) you can find some basic information on what I do. But I’ll also be posting illustrations, photos, thoughts about research and writing in the blog posts; But completely randomly and only as a part of this being a personal web page.

There are a lot of exciting things going on in my life right now. Next year I’ll finish two huge projects I’ve been working on for years (Book 1 and Thesis). And at the same time I want to have time for my family and taking care of myself. I want to have time for reading, dancing, seeing good films, playing games and traveling. I’m a mom, a geek, a thinker, a maker. Welcome to my little space in the web.
