But You Have to Make a Living
October 10 2011
Struggeling with drawing.
Long time since new Ballpoint Cover.
Had to try to make a living.
Still trying.
But today the drawing continues.
Definetly.
New interesting ideas for a new website.
Met the guitar a lot lately.
Some new songs.
Need a haircut - badly.
But you have to make a living.
Friday.
August 31 2011
Been working on this illustration to the website for the video/song release this friday. I thought I'd do a simple and quick drawing. Turned out to take me HOURS AND HOURS. But now I'm done. Feels good. See you on friday.
The Great Gift
August 25 2011
Got this book from a friend in the mail today. Really looking forward to reading it.

THE WONDER BOYS:
Ballpoint Covers
June 28 2011
Have updated the Ballpoint Cover department with some new ones. I'm always posting them on this site before Facebook. So if you're after one of the latest ones, this is the place to look. Just finished the 220:nd one. 30 more to go.
I'm also gonna play some songs at Dyrön. A Swedish little island on the west coast. My old time companion is playing to, and we get some help from a tiny but quite increddible string section as well. That's a good reason to show up.
Date: 15 of July
Recording

Thom Coombes

Kenny Karlsson
June 14 2011
Been listening for years now. But tonight Kenny sounds like a god in my headphones while drawing one more ballpoint cover and my head slowly gets eaten by the night. Again.
Cant get enough? Kenny Karlsson on Soundcloud. If you go - you're a golddigger.

Catch Some Sun

Apparently, the Sun is currently traveling through the Local Interstellar Cloud in the Local Bubble zone now, within the inner rim of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. I'm going to follow.
You! Yes, YOU!
May 2 2011:
I'm looking for good inputs to GREAT documentaries and good independent music that YOU think that I might like or SHOULD like. Could be an artist or just a song. I especially thirst for unknown lo-fi home recordings, from anywhere and anyone. From old times or new times. Don't hesitate. E-mail me now: hector@hectorprojector.com
(The reason is I'm gonna spend a LONG time sitting on a chair and work. But my ears don't have anything to do and get restless quite easily. The documentarys I'll watch during lunchtime.) Gonna be good to hear from you!
All This Sun Is Making My Skin Look Golden Brown

This song has run by my side through all times. And if I don't listen to it at least once a month my ears start to mold to eventually - dropp off.
And The Radio
