After three weeks of NO activity what so ever on the blog I’m back… I thought I’d write but you know how it is. My/our vacations back home in France tend to be crazy in many different kind of ways…

First, a trip to Pourville Sur Mer, on Billy Jean’s beat, to my lovely cousin’s wedding, Congrats again Juliette & Selim! Then back to Paris staying at my brother’s place in nice 18ième. 6th floor BUT view on “les toits de Paris” worth it… And at last my dad’s house for the lazy days. Couldn’t have been better… Bises!

Sorry for not getting this out until now! I just got the pictures shot by my lil’ sis, since I couldn’t be there.

Anyway, I think it looks great and I got many comments from people (thank you by the way for taking the time to write it to me!) that the pictures lighten up and colour Gothenburgs trainstation…

So, you have approx. ten more days to enjoy it… Many thanks to Linda F. at Fredag Kommunikation who made it happen!

I didn’t know it took nearly two month to get stuff sent from Australia… But anyway, here it is. CURVY’s 100 of the World’s Best Female Artists. Now I can relaxe, I’m in… Oddly, I’m most relieved about the fact that they got my last name right. Which has always been an issue for many people… I have my list of funny names that the Mendi family got throughout the years, I’ll share it with you some day… 

Ain’t it nice? p.128…

OK, I got it confirmed this morning… I’ve been selected for the 2009 CURVY edition!!! YYYIIPPIIIII! (as a 100 out of 1600…)

Here’s what they say on their site: ” YEN MAGAZINE brings you an exhibition and book featuring 100 of the most exciting female graphic artists and illustrators in the world. 

CURVY remains an international favourite amongst lovers of art and supporters of female artists. Each year the book features 100 of the most exciting female graphic designers and illustrators from over 20 countries around the world! 

CURVY is a must for anyone passionate about graphic design and illustration that wants to be inspired by a new generation of outstanding female creative talent. Produced by YEN magazine – CURVY kicks off in April & consists of a cool limited edition book and a national event tour. ”

What can I say… I’m stoked and definitely proud…

I find it hard to shoot nature although I see grafic shapes everywhere… Yesterday was filled with this typical northern light that we have here in Norrland. As usual I had my camera in my bag (you never know right?) Maybe it is a reminder that we live in a beautiful place… especially when my soul and body are aching for heat, colors and the energy of a big city.

By the way, a great landscape photografer (both urban and nature) is Yann Arthus-Bertrand. My mum gave me a book of his work a couple years ago. I should look at it more often… http://www.yannarthusbertrand.org/

Found this pic on the clothing brand company LIFETIME. They collaborate with an artist, Ben Tour and I particularly liked this sketch…
