The science of sleep

I think I've forgot to tell you about this book - The Where, the Why and the How: 75 Artists Illustrate Wondrous Mysteries of Science.

This summer's last flower

Yesterday I started my graffiti career

Med start i Jämtland och Härjedalen sprider sig rundbalskonsten till andra områden i Sverige. Arr: LRF Jämtland, LRF Västra Götaland, LRF Sydost och Länskulturen i Jämtlands län - Mjölk är tjockare än vatten. Just denna är gjord av mej och står längs riksväg 40 vid Mölnlycke.

This is something that is going on around the swedish countryside, it's part of a campaign for the farmers to get paid 1 swedish krona more for a liter of milk.
Helena Roos invited me to be part of this. It was my very first time to do something with spraycans, it took a while before I got some kind of hang of it. So Gothenburg, if you see some strange graffiti in these kind of colours, you know it's me that's been out training :)

A small dispatch from Sweden and me over at Poppytalk.

Books

"La Fille Verte" a new french book from Gallimard Jeunesse - text Vincent Cuvellier, illustrations Camilla Engman.
"Little Big Books - Illustrations for Children’s Picture Books", in english from Gestalten. Today’s best illustrators for children’s picture books create work far beyond teddy bears and kitty cats. I'm proud to be in it :)

Lena Sjöberg is also one of the illustrators in the Gestalten book, here is her very own and very lovely book "Ingamaj".

Progress

I have an exhibition here in Gothenburg the 24th of November (at Galleri 1 on Erik Dahlbergsgatan 14). That's what I'm working on/towards right now.

Sunspots

The mornings are getting cold and crispy, it's nice. But I miss the sun already - more sun, more sun! Here I'm, last week, laying in my studio sofa getting sun in my eyes - how lovely isn't that. Today has been a grey day.

Vintage inspired string holder tutorial over at Handmade Charlotte, made by Eva Mon­león (also known as misako mimoko)

Grass braid

Just outside my house, but found through a photo on instagram :) A cat visited me while photographing, notice the catface on the cats head.

Just playing

Escif, one of my favorite street artist (has nothing to do with the tiny fox on the photo)

Another exhibition worth visiting, Maurits Ylitalo at Galleri 1, Erik Dahlbergsgatan 14, Göteborg.
