Usually my opinion is that journals shouldn't be written unless there is something you like to say. That was until I noticed that it has been over 6 months since last journal entry. So here goes journal for the sake of update.
Things have happened but not kind I like to write publicly about. For example my wife spent several days in hospital because of blood clot in lung (pulmonary embolism) in December. Luckily it was only a minor one but in many cases those can be killers. I turned 40 in march and for a first time ever got some kind of age crisis. My wife and I are better now Lately I haven't painted at all. My four week summer leave will start next week. I'm planning on painting but we shall see. On computer I've been mostly playing Diablo III and Hearthstone. D3 really sparked after ad-on and I love it again. Also got Watch dogs for PS4 ... looks and feels nice ... have to play it a bit more before can say anything more.
Also I got my beard bleached (by my little sister who just graduated to become hairdresser). Plan was to get it all white ... but because beard is so coarse and I have quite dark hair to begin with, it became more like light yellow ... like easter chick. Also didn't dare to take another treatment because skin started to feel quite awful already. Plan anyway was to color it purple (plum). Took a coloring treatment at home and for everyone's surprise next day my whole beard was really really pink and looked like I have cotton candy in my face. It would have been great success if that would have been intended ... color was really vibrant. But I wanted darker purple and wouldn't dare to go work looking like gnome from World of Warcraft. On panic I went to store to buy some more haircolors. Little girl's face in store was priceless when shae was staring my "Princess-beard" with open mouth. So I took two more coloring sessions that day. Color became good bit darker, but still was too bright for work. So in panic I shaved most of my beard off and only left healty amount on my chin. I guess it is okay now. Atleast I got few compliments about it.
Yesterday spent a day in Helsinki with wife. We saw Edge of Tomorrow and new X-men in cinema and dined out in italian restaurant. It was nice. Edge of Tomorrow was really good and X-men wasn't bad either ... somehow still feel that First Class had best atmosphere of all Marvel movies.
Also yesterday made a mistake and checked out these wacky new curved 4k TVs. A huge mistake. Now have real fever to get one of those. Good thing they are quite expensive so won't be ordering one right away.
As you can see ... life keeps going on and nothing much happens. Just the way I like it Be well all.

Hardest day of my life.
On friday had to put down and bury my first dog. Heli was english toyterrier and part of family for almost 15 years.
As puppy she broke both her bones in front leg. She was so tiny and still good doctor managed to put titanium plate and tiniest screws to it. She healed very well. Later on she got tumors and was operated. They were so spread that could only remove few and some were left. That didn't bother her though. Also there were genetic error on her eyes. We suspected for a while that she doesnt see that well but truth was that she almost didn't see anything. Also those bad eyes were painful and had to be removed. Still she soldiered on.

Exhibition
I'm pumped. Today will be build day of my new exhibition. Is in small cafe (Feeniks Cafe in Riihimäki, Finland) and will have probably less than 10 works but still.
It will showcase my works from 2016 and specially chalk drawings of women I have done in last few months.
I will post pictures when it's up and running.
Nuts about sketchbook.
Everyone always say that everyone should have sketchbook. And I agree. I have started numerous sketchbooks, filled few pages and left it at that.
This year was different. For some odd reason this time it was different. I keep sketchbook at work and doodle around when have time and been finishing 1-2 pages in a workday --- every workday. Started with pencil sketches, then started inking with fineline marker, then added red pen to it and finally gave alcohol markers a go.
I use ProMarkers and they are neat. I only have 10 or so colours and it is a bit limiting but then again forces to try creative ways to make it work. I ordered 10 shades of
