New blog?

I'm thinking about creating another blog... a more serious one that I can use as a digital CV, portfolio and so on. Since I know from experience it's so hard to design one of your own. You can never decide on a layout. I've made millions thru out the years. How do you feel about this one? Professional enough?

Yum!

I love weekends! It is the time for luxury and laziness. This Saturday I joined Jenny and Sanna at Patisserie David for some breakfast. They make the most wonderful pastries ever! Don't worry, mum. I ate a sandwich before the dessert.

I say NO!

I say no. I say no to pirate boots. I say no to pirate boots and leggings. I say no to guys with long hair, tied up in a bundle. I say no to girls with low-cut jeans. I say no to guys with not enough hair growth to acually call it a mustach. I say no to people with ironic, retro glasses. I could go on saying no but you get the point...

Fornasetti

I just figured out what my apartment needs now! Fornasetti plates!!
Piero Fornasetti was an Italian painter, sculptor, interior decorator and engraver. He lived most of life in Milan, attending the Brera Art Academy from 1930-32 when he was expelled for insubordination. During World War II, he went into exile in Switzerland from 1943-46. He created more than 11,000 items, many featuring the face of a woman, operatic soprano Lina Cavalieri, as a motif. Fornasetti found her face in a 19th century magazine. Now I just have to figure out which variation I want...

Week 41

After a crappy week at work what more can you do than gather a few friends and go out to eat? On friday evening, I thought it would be a great idea to introduce the neighbourhood restaurant, Anytime.



This is what some of us had: wild duck with bacon and hazelnuts. And of course apple pie for dessert. Happy and full, my brother and I went to inkonst to celebrate two friends joint birthday party. But with a severe case of food-coma, I went home earlier than I use to.

On Saturday evening, the zombies called out from the Norweigan wilderness. Or maybe not... The movie did anyways. Död snö (dead snow), with the best tag line ever: Ein, zwei, die!

And then came Sunday...


I got my socks rocked off by the Eagles of Death Metal concert at KB. They were great! I've never seen a happier crowd.

Irving Penn

This week one of my favourite photographers passed away. Irving Penn, most known for his glamour photography in the 1950s, was a huge influence on me when I studied photography at the art school. His eye for detail and the way he arranged a set amazed me (and sadly lost on me, never had the patience).

Easy home renewal

Yesterday I bought some fabric from IKEA. The collection, a set of five different patterns, is called ANNAMOA and is designed by Lotta Kühlhorn. Lotta is very well knowned for her illustrations and bookcover designs. Have a look at her website: http://www.lottakuhlhorn.se/first.php
Here's one image of, what I think is my favourite pattern. I can't really decide.

Week 40

Inspired by some of my favourite bloggers, I'm now gonna try to sum up my weekend. I apologize in forehand for the bad quality of the images...

On friday, we went to a fairly new bar called Belle Epoque (love the name). It's owned by an ex-collegue of mine and a few of his friend. Simply loved the atmosphere. What should have been a quick beer after work turned out to an all nighter. Martin had to throw us out.

On Saturday, I went to a friends flat for a "small" birthday party. I should have known; there's nothing small about his parties! A very brave croud of people defied the weather and made their way thru the streets of Malmö. It was a blast! I went to bed 06.30 early sunday morning. Needless to say I spent the whole Sunday on the sofa not regreting a single thing!
