Afraid to tell you how stupid I am, Lotta.

I recieved a gift in the mail a couple of days ago. A really really beautiful print by Lotta Olsson. I had been planning to take a photo of it today and post it here. I laid it out on the floor and put some candleholders in it's corners so that it would lay flat. I only had three of them so i reached towards the sofatable to get hold of a... a... a... Coffeacup!!! How incredible idiotic and totally mindless was that!! I had to call my husband and shed a little tear over my clumsyness. So, no photo of the much appreciated gift, but an image from Lotta's website once again. Thank you so much Lotta, I seriously love your prints, and I'm sorry that I'm such a clumsy dumbass. I'm still going to frame it, but I think you would prefer me to show an image without stains, so that's what I'll do.

Nice print by Lotta Olsson.

Rosy Nicholas

Rosy Nicholas lives and works in London, as an illustrator and prop maker. I really like the dirty-cute theme in the second print :)

So long for a little week!

I'm going away for a few days to teach a workshop in illustration here. I'm excited to meet with the students and Becci and I hope to inspire and surprise them a bit. A lot of exciting things are happening in my life right now (finally!) and I hope to share some of it with you soon. Until then, take care and visit some of the excellent blogs in my blogroll! See you in a little week!

Beneath still waters...

This is an illustration I made recently for the swedish magazine Aluma. I wonder if I will ever grow tierd of putting noses on things.

Agnes queen of sorrow

What happens when Bonnie Prince Billy meets David Shrigely? One of the most beautiful music videos ever made. I can watch this a hundered million times and never grow tierd of it! A wonderful weekend to you all!

If drawings were photographs

When I was a teenager I was told that drawing from a photograph was cheating, but how about the other way around? This project by Tom Edwards and Rob Matthews where Matthews interpreted Edwards' drawings into photographs made me smile today. And by the way, I draw from photographs all the time ;)

Small exhibition at Cinnober

My favourite bookshop here in Copenhagen is Cinnober. They have the best supply of wonderful illustration, graphic design and architectual litterature and everytime I go there I want to buy it all. Cinnober is located in the centre of Copenhagen, close to the shopping street Strøget so if you are in town you should definately pay it a visit! Starting on tuesday the 2nd of february they will be selling some of my limited edition prints and I'm very happy to be in such good company!
How to find the shop here!

Cloudy and a cold

Today I am very slow. I caught a cold again and keep sneezing and coughing and freezing. You know what it's like when the inside of your head just feels like a big lump of cotton. You can't think straight. Found these beautiful illustrations by iranian illustrator Yoota Azargeen through this blog. Pretty much illustrates my day.

Alphabet

Found this beautiful alphabet by designer and artist Peter Grundy over at equally beautiful blog All the mountains. I'm actually pretty tierd of all the alphabets made out of this and that, but this one really caught my eye. Love the colors and the details.

Another talented friend!

My friend Trine works as a designer for norwegian chinaware company Figgjo and she made these unika cups and a jug for a their special Unika event. Trine, you rock!!

Next Easter...?

Found these easter eggs over at Hello Tiger and, just like Tiger, I'm not a big fan of holiday decorations. Simon is more into it, the last two christmases he has been talking about christmas table cloths (?). Anyways, these easter eggs decorated in classic swedish tableware patterns by Cecilia Danell are really nice!

A gift to a very dear friend!

Very intense workshop together with my old friend Emma! We made graphics for this board wich later was given to another friend as a birthday gift. Everything was made by hand and each of the little squares in the top layer had to be cut out separately before spray painting.
It took us a few hours but I'm quite pleased with the result!
