After more than 3 months of no activity on the blog I've decided to give it a go again.

In December I was busy with a lot of things including the exhibition at my old art school

January 5th I got another operation. The surgeons in Copenhagen were in doubt of the thing showing on the scan. In Odense they said to me it was scar tissue - in Copenhagen they recommended yet another operation (the 4th). As a complication after the operation I got a brain hemorrhage.
The brain hemorrhage left me paralyzed in my left side, but I have been in a herculean training programme since and I am almost fully recovered now. I have to stay really fit for the rest of my life though, unless I want a stiff leg. I am still really tired from the operation but not as dark sighted as in January.

I have applied to art schools in Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Copenhagen. 3 of them I had to apply while hospitalized, but it all went well - I'm at stage 2, the interview, at Edinburgh, Glasgow and Amsterdam! There is only the interview at the Rietveld academie in Amsterdam left, but I could have been better prepared for Edinburgh&Glasgow. I am still dazed from the brain hemorrhage and the two operations so I guess that I should appreciate my efforts even though I know that I could have done better. 'Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi' in Copenhagen I have not heard from yet.
Although it could be awesome to study art, I feel like a 4'th gap year would not be a waste of time. It leaves me with the feeling that it is all going to be okay, what ever happens.

Lately I've been diggin' (which means the last week) :
