During all my waking hours, there’s hardly a moment when I’m not thinking about creativity or making things, I even dream about it at night. In Journal, I plan to share my thoughts, sketches, doodles, and color experiments.

Finally back to everyday life.

Finally back to everyday life.

spent pretty much the whole summer on the island of Öland, so you’d think the first painting to come out of it would be a sunset, the sea, some beautiful landscape or something…
Nope.
Öland beans. In a can. Obviously.
It’s always a weird feeling getting back to work after a long break. Every year I somehow convince myself that this is it... the projects have dried up, no one’s gonna call, the fun is over!!!
And then, day one back at the studio: a skate project in Nairobi, a pasta restaurant in Malmö, one of Sweden’s biggest burger chains, two new festivals, event companys, Releaseparty for my book, ordern on my webshop, a bunch of ongoing stuff with old projects and clients and a few new courses to plan on the side.
So yeah. Back at it.
And just a little reminder to myself: I’m incredibly grateful that I get to make stuff, draw weird things and basically play for a living every day.

Not taking that for granted. ❤️
