I love owls. They're one of my favorite animals, just because how expressive and sometimes super silly they look. So I painted one.

You know how sometimes you feel like a grey sparrow, so you put on all your bling and a little makeup, or some sort of "mask" with the way you behave to feel more vibrant or alive? That's the idea behind this owl.

I guess it's easy to get stuck in that kind of gray sparrow feeling during that pandemic. Working from home, not seeing anyone, wearing sweat pants every day. Hopefully that's going to change soon. Hang in there everyone. ❤️

On March 1, me and Gianluca launched Harvest Traffic Coop. It is a traffic coop, which lets you advertise in over a thousand traffic sources with very little effort. It works in 3 simple steps:

1. Add the websites you want to advertise.
You can also select to limit the amount of traffic you want per hour and block traffic sources you don't want.

2. Advertise your Coop link to earn credits.
To earn credits, simply advertise your Coop link in manual traffic exchanges and/or viral mailers. When you advertise the Coop link, it will display another Harvest Traffic Coop member's site and you will earn credits for displaying it.

3. Assign credits to your website.
Once you have gathered some credits by advertising your Coop link, you can assign them to your website. Your website will then be displayed when other people promote their Coop links, in any of the traffic sources they might use.

Use the Strength of a community and let all members of Harvest Traffic Coop advertise your websites for you. For free.

Hi everyone, wishing you a very happy new year, hopefully 2021 will have a lot more positive news than 2020 did.

Did you see that you can fill up your Piggy Bank or buy upgrades, short account boosts or credits through the Partner Shop in the Food Game?

And it's not just for Hungry For Hits, but for many of the participating traffic exchanges. The Partner Shop is like a central marketplace where you can upgrade in your favorite sites.

You can pay with Gold you earned when clicking the chef hat prize page while surfing here (or in any traffic exchange that has the Food Game), or you can buy it using any of the 13 payment processors available (including card payments).

I think it's cool that you can upgrade with something you won, and that there are so many partners already. The shop is incredibly popular, so check it out when you get a chance.

The Food Game

I hope you will have a Merry Christmas! Even though this year has been very challenging, I hope you will find some peace and quiet and some good food during the holidays!

Hi guys! The Black Friday to Cyber Monday weekend deals are up! This year I have two different sorts of offers.

The first is that you get 50% extra with every deposit you make into your Piggy Bank. It works with any amount, so you can deposit $2 and get $3 or $50 and get $75, or any other amount too.

Instead of lowering the price of specific items, I decided to give you a discount on everything and anything you want to purchase by doing it through the Piggy Bank.

The second offer is that the Lifetime upgrades are back! It's rare for them to come up for sale, so if you've been thinking about it, now is probably a good time. There are also a couple of really good credit deals there.

You can reach the lifetime deals from the daily events info box on member home page. Those deals can only be paid with card or Paypal (through a third party site), so it can't be combined with the Piggy Bank bonus offer.

I am very thankful to have you as a member, and I hope you are happy here at Hungry For Hits!

I love bubblegum. Fruity and delicious flavor. Especially that kind you got from a dispenser as a kid, insert a coin and get a handfull of small gum balls.

So the other day I found an online store that sold exactly that type! The only thing was... They only sold them in super mega big pack. So, my jaws are gonna hurt soon.

That's a lot, huh? Well... It's only a third of it! Hahaha!
*Feels rich in bubble gum*

Hi chefs! Today we added a new ingredient in the Food Game, Banana!

You can use bananas in a new rare American recipe, Banana bread. To be able to cook it, you have to learn it first. You learn recipes by using tickets on the Cooking Classes page under the Cooking menu in the Food Game.

We will be adding more recipes and ingredients in the upcoming weeks, keep an eye out!

I planted catnip at the summerhouse this spring, and today I harvested the first batch. My cat Fjodor jumped right in and "helped".

He was in heaven! I doubt anyone has ever been this high before! 😂

I've been painting a lot during isolation the last few months. This is the latest piece in the corona painting sessions, and I'm actually really happy with it!

I plan to do a few more eyes in the same style, to play with color and shape and practice a steady hand.

However, I'm starting to run out of canvas and color, so we'll see what I can do. I'm not comfortable enough to go to the city to buy stuff just yet, I'm rather safe than sorry. But if isolation is dragging out for much longer, I will see if I can get stuff delivered. It's a great way to spend some time!

Hey everyone!

Hope you're all staying safe. I've been in isolation for more than 100 days already. Since I have some underlying health issues, I'm not taking any risks. It gets super lonely sometimes, but at least I always have a lot of work to do online!

I have a "corona hairstyle" these days, since I have to cut it myself. It wouldn't be so bad if it was long, but nooooo, I had to have a short hairstyle... Hehe! One of the first things I'm gonna do when this is over is to visit the salon, for sure.



Looks pretty good from the front, but the back, not so much! Haha! Thankfully it grows quick, and it doesn't really matter. It's not like I am out with people anyway.

So tell me: If you are in isolation, what's your hair like these days? :-)

Hey everyone!

I'm so excited, it's less than 2 days until the Food Game is launching! I know there are a LOT of people waiting for this launch, and there aren't a lot of pics or details out yet. So here's just a little something for those who are interested...

Signup opens at 00.01 am New York time on Sunday March 15. Will I see you there?

Hey guys!

Next month, I am launching something HUGE. It is a project I worked on together with Gianluca Brozzi from Finest Traffic, a game that will fit right in here at Hungry.

We call it the Food Game, and it will be a permanent addition to Hungry For Hits and Finest Traffic, but also to ALL other LFMTE traffic exchanges who want it. It's free for other owners to install and offer it to surfers, so we expect that you'll be able to play it in a lot of sites.

We aim to launch it on March 15, as Gianluca is travelling for work for 3 weeks now. I'll be reaching out to other site owners before then to make sure everyone who wants it from the start is ready to go when we launch.

So what's the game about? Basically, you're a chef. You will collect ingredients and recipes by surfing in the participating traffic exchanges, and when you cook a dish you will earn points. There are prizes given out at the end of each week for many different things, such as:

-Most points
-Most ingredients collected
-Highest points for a single dish
-Most dishes cooked

There will also be some random prizes every week. So it's not hard to see how it would fit in here at Hungry, but how does this connect to advertising? Well, it's easy.

You can advertise square banners on the prize pages in all participating sites. You can build downlines in all the participating sites, as players have to fill in their referral ID for a site to play the game there. We also offer very focused website views, similar to surfing, although very restricted and with a long timer without distractions.

We are super excited about it and we already got some huge traffic exchange partners. I'll tell you a lot more about it as we're getting closer to launch!

Are you an LFMTE owner?

One day I wanted a cinnamon roll. They're a huge thing in Sweden, the traditional pastry for a Swedish "fika" break.

But I didn't have any. It was raining, so I didn't want to go out to buy one, and I didn't feel like baking. So I painted one instead!

It's 19 x 24 centimeters in size, and I plan to hang it in my kitchen. Gonna do one more painting of something else, same size, to match that one and hang next to it.

Can you tell I like food...?

Hey everyone!

Wishing you all happy and peaceful holidays, a Merry Christmas and lots of good Christmas food!

Here's another painting I made earlier this fall, and I quite like it! It was a commissioned painting for my sister, who recently moved to a new house and wanted something unique. I call it "Little leaf of horrors", as the plant is called a Monstera.

It's A4 size, I prefer to paint small and detailed pieces over large or more abstract stuff. I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to paint next though, sometimes my mind is blank. I like to do animals and plants. Any ideas?

Sometimes I paint a lot in, especially in the summers when I am in the summer house and there's not so much else to do. This is a Bumblebee from a couple of months ago!

Do you create anything?
