Hi guys!

No, I'm not returning, but I thought I would give you all a holler on what's going on in my life.

I have fallen ill, unfortunately. Well, I've had this condition for a while, two years ago I was diagnosed with a hiatial hernia and stomach ulcer. Three weeks ago, it took a turn for the worse. I was downtown when it happened, all of a sudden it felt like I had been stabbed in the stomach and I collapsed on the sidewalk. My stomach ulcer had ruptured, leaving me with internal bleeding. I was sent to the surgical ER and I was examined by a specialist. It turns out my situation was stable after all and I could return home with some new (and very much badass!) medication. In the last two weeks, I have gone to the hospiptal five times for different types of blood work and tests. I'm going in for surgery in a couple of months, and until then I have medication to keep in under control and preventing it from rupturing again. I still have some rather nasty bouts of pain every other day, but I'm out of any serious harm.

But anyways, onto the more art-related stuff. Lately my career has exploded and I have gotten to work with some really big clients. These include designing a TV-commercial for TV4, illustration work for ICA, Länsförsäkringar, Skånemejerier and a couple of others. I have three more clients waiting, these projects are HUGE and will be my biggest yet and you all will have heard of them (even the international people) but I am not yet signed with these so I won't tell anything just yet. I might get all, and I might get none, so I'm waiting until I'm actually on the paper before I tell anyone.
Apart from these freelance gigs I also work part time for a company called Paperbox as an illustrator, but I have also obtained a lead creature designer position at Järnringen Förlag. So, this is pretty much what is going on in my life.

Despite being very ill at the moment, I am very happy and calm now. I thought I'd give you guys an update.

I do really miss you. I hope everything is good with you as well.
