Paperweight… A lovely useful object too.

Fantastic Dana Tanamachi’s work for West Elm, alphabet paperweights. Unfortunately I couldn’t find all “my” letters… but still lovely.

Putting inspiration pics together as I’m going back to paint after an illustration project that gave me some “go” (more about it next week).
Among them, classy lady Daphne Selfe… This youngster of only 83 is just getting more beautiful. Her secret?…Yoga.

The new factory!

I’ve been thinking about it for a while. Lack of space was the main reason. And then to be able to have coffee with someone and why not closer to the town…
A chat with a friend and it was set within a couple of weeks. I’m still not used to the thought of leaving my dearest little studio but let’s face it, I am getting bigger, older whatever you want to call it and so are my pieces… Time for a change! Here my own private Mr Handyman Affe freshens up the ceiling…

More pics when we’re set!

I’m into freshness, neon and heat. Must be the never-ending winter syndrome.

Swedish paper!

A quickie! A little Time Lapse from yesterday’s job at a paper convention in Piteå. I painted on paper that’s made in town, it took 4 hours and the theme was obvious to me, origami & paper planes!… Below close up’s.

Time Lapse under construction…

It´s a laborious work putting together a Time Lapse…. for me that is.
Slowly but surely it is going forward though. But since my hard drive crashed I am desperately seeking for some missing footage, somewhere in the middle that I hope I’ll find within short.

In the mean time if you happen to have great suggestions (won’t take less) for music, something with a nice beat that would fit nicely, let me know…

more Chenman

Last time I ran through Paris airport Charles de Gaulle I remember being struck by a the cover of a magazine, french Le Monde. I now know that it was the work of Chen Man that stood out.

Perfect lines, eye candy for me…

New friend & CHEN MAN

amanda — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:53:48 +0000

My computer crashed last week and I have spent days getting back it’s content (thank you Time Capsule…) So now with a new shiny Apple friend I am back on track.

As many others I recently discovered young chinese photographer Chen Man. So far I haven’t found out much about her, although I intend to, I am already enchanted by her work…
