Frida Melander

Hej friends! I left Trump’s America behind to start anew in Sweden. And when I say anew, I mean I am starting completely over. But I’ve started a Patreon dedicated to my adventures and adjustments, & also to keep me in art supplies! Please support Letters from Sweden at patreon.com/fridamelander

I’ve been back in my birth country for less than a month, but the minute I landed here once again, I immediately felt the baseline of sanity. Tack så hemskt mycket, Sverige. 🙏🕊️

There is no prescription strong enough to help the American reality see it is in need of serious prescription lenses.

Seems like it’s more important than ever to embody the coexist
bumper sticker.

If men stopped worshipping Star Wars and started worshipping Organic Gardening I have a hunch Yoda would gladly show up for a photo op.

Historical Tumult looks so much more romantic in film
than it is to live through. And if you are not feeling the current pain of the world, you are a probably a very well-off person extremely disconnected from the beauty of a baby dew drop in the early morning light.

I want my energetic sphere / environment to be at the frequency of “normal.” I realize that’s a lot to ask.
I’ll keep my take on what normal is to myself, except to say that it is a lovely existence for everyone who doesn’t want shit to keep going off the rails.

Watching the Great Moose Migration live streaming from my birth country. A little late to the party on this one, but I was out all day enjoying nature up close so maybe I was perfectly aligned! Anyways, no moose yet but plenty of nature and birds and beauty and calm. The créme de la créme. 🥰✨🌳🦢🫎

Life finds a way—this tree pushed through pavement and even wrapped itself around a stop sign in L.A. #Nature doesn’t ask for permission.

My response to Trump in regards to the ridiculous proposed takeover of that little Penguin Island 🐧 🛑😑

Breathe in peace 🕊️

Knitting and painting 🧶🖼️

Illustrated this kid’s print after Hillary was let down by the voters of America. I had started it before the election, full of hope for womankind, humankind, & working together for the planet. Also inspired by Greta Thunberg’s activism for future gens. Sending love & strength to pristine Greenland.

Happy Spring and way to go Mother Earth for still blooming and giving me hope.

Suns out, puns out ✨

Ignore the stupid drama. Make art instead.

PSA: You should never ever feel any guilt about protecting your Peace. 🕊️

Brilliant 🙌

Growing through it

Breathe & repeat

The quiet life is the good life.

Fun illustration day 🪶

Giving it up to Canada AND giving the middle finger to AI artists all in one go. I like multitasking. 😊🖌️🇨🇦

The struggle is real 🍵🖌️

Spring has sprung! 🌸✨

If we want Peace, we have to focus on Peace. Simple math.

As we collectively deal with anger on pretty much every possible level, we must also focus on the future, particularly what we want to preserve and want more of. Energy flows where attention goes.

Glad you are here, Stranger. I enjoyed my short stint of designing ads for you in the olden times. :)

I’d love to see less snark and more high level environmental / climate stories. None of our piddly differences will mean a flying fuck if we are all burned up or under water.

Sincerely, Frida xo

It’s not always easy being green, but when the country goes THIS red, it’s one of the easiest things you can do to protect your energy from the herd. Especially food wise (I know, I know. I’m a foodie too. And it can be hard… but not as difficult as being mired in hypocrisy.)

Here’s to projects that keep us in a higher stratosphere. Thank you, @mtnbooks #workinprogress
