As simple as it gets. Beautiful painting plus beautiful Lina equals double the beauty.

Well, I have to say something before I explode...isn't this Freaking Amazing?!!!

Image

For the last week or so I have been walking on air, floating through life like an happy idiot with a huge, dopy smile on my face!
Image

It has been the busiest week of the year at my job again and I have been walking into things, driving my forklift into things (no people so far, I think I've ((or they've)) been lucky :D ), basically I've just been in a wickedly happy daze.

I helped a bunch of Infected people to put a beautiful smile on our favourite beautiful face!.....ahhhhh, heavy sigh!!! :)
And now when I think of it, I can also imagine that I helped us to put a little smile on Eli's face as well, and I get all warm and gooshy on the inside again! :roll:

'Let The Right One In' has given me so much more pleasure than any other film I've seen or am likely to ever see again, bringing me a few hundred smiles ( :oops: and I'll admit to a few tears as well), and to see one of the main sources of that pleasure holding onto one of my drawings is a boost I will never, ever forget.

LOOK! It's me...and I'm holding a picture of Lina, holding a picture of Eli AND Oskar...that I drew! WhoopWHOOP!
Image
(I know it's a crappy photo but I was all starstruck and giddy as a schoolgirl at the time.) :lol:

We've got a_contemplative_life to thank for putting this all together, Wolfchild for providing us all a place a place to hang out together and dissect JAL's works, a place that has also given us the opportunity to semi-meet our idols. My thanks to them, someone else who may want to remain nameless, and all those that have taken part, to all those who have commented on my little drawings, and last but most definitely not least thanks to the Lovely Lina Leandersson for bringing Eli to life in such a beautiful performance and for being an inspiration to my inner 'artiste'!
For me at least there will never be another Eli. (certainly not an "Abby"!)

From now on whenever I get to feeling like this,...
Image

...all I need to do is pull out my phone and take a look at this...
Image

...and my world will be changed to something like this...
Image

Ciao for now, I'm off to float around my flat for a while then it's back to the drawing board! :D

What can I say? I knew she would reply! And I think FEDEX deserves a pat on the back for getting it there safe and sound. :D

Kudos all around. As the saying goes, "I love it when a plan comes together."

I am very happy and honored to say that I am a part of this community. And we are a community; "We, The Infected"/let-the-right-one-in.com has become more than just a message board and fan site. We've gained a certain...legitimacy...yes, that's the word. We've gotten props from JAL, him having posted more than once. One of JAL's editors has posted several times, at least once asking for advice concerning an English translation (remember the 3-wheeled moped?). And now, Miss Lina herself has ackowledged us, kindly thanking everyone for cov's most excellent picture.

That picture, adorned on the back with messages from Team Eli, will hang on Lina's wall for years. It's quite possible that she will have it for the rest of her life. For decades to come, people will admire this artwork, comment on the keen eye of the artist, and will ask about "www.let-the-right-one-in.com" which is in the message on the front. Thus, with this picture, the community of "We, The Infected" has somewhat been immortalized in a very kewl way. With the passage of time, this website will go the way of all things...it will fade into history. But long after that has happened, the spirit of this community will live on in the picture given to a talented young lady whose performance helped give rise to that very community.

Wow...I really can lay it on thick, can't I?
