A man of many colours

On friday I went and listened to Fredrik Lindström. He is doing a stand up comedy thing called "Swedes are people too". It was very good when he sheed some light on why we do certain things the way we do here in Sweden.

Saturday I went shoping. I was acctually thinking of not buying anything but when I noticed that the Holiday store was going to close here in Lund I had to buy a coat and a cardigan. So now I don't have a lot of money for Mauritius...

On Sunday I went to Helsingborg and went to the Stig Lindberg exhibition at Dunkers Kulturhus. It was well worth the visit. Especially the very sad exhibition by Anna von Brömssen about the death of a young boy. You get to follow him and the family, his last two months or so in life and even get to see his dead body in the coffin. It really left us with a lot of sadness but fortunately Stig put back the colours in our minds.
After that we ate at a lovely restaurant called Bonasera. Stuart Baxter with family sat beside us.

Waiting for that aeroplane to crash

You know I dreamed about for 29 years.
Before I met you.

Whats going on in the backyard?

Stars are falling.
Hitting all the houses. And all the houses are destroyed.
I can't breathe under all the rubble.

I am under a lot of stress right now and the stupid thing is that I am the one creating this environment. The good news is that Wraphouse bought the idea for the fotball poster.

But I still have a ton of other projects to be finnished. I wish I could buy more time because it is running out.

How about this?

Some days ago I mentioned that I was going to do a poster for Wraphouse here in Lund. I m going to try to get Abdo to go with this poster. I think it is hillarious and I think it is going to work. Any comments?

He must be straight... or?

Today I got an sms from Gustav who wanted to know if I would participate in an article for Dygnet Runt. All I had to do was to guess which of the 12 people in a line-up was either straight, gay or bi-sexual. I thought it was going to be fairly easy but when the shit hit the fan I was way of. I think I got 3 out of 12 right. The result will be published this thursday.

Easy as a sunday morning

I was very tired last night. Didn't even make it to the night club. Was the earth on fire or was it the sky? I dont remember. I was confused all day.
I sleept until late this lazy sunday morning. Today I actually got some things done. I went and bought some presents to people who have had their birthdays.

Equlibrium vs Delirium part 2

Same thing this week...

Monday: Went to work as usual and had a lot to do. I forgott my charger for the cellular at home so obviously it went low on battery. A guy from Anslut called and asked if I could help them do some material that they wanted to present to their customers. I am going to meet them on friday. Abdo from Wraphouse left a message and he wanted some posters infront of his restaurant. The posters should say that he would show the important fotball games on a big screen. So I thought I'd try a picture of a big mouth with a fotball stuck between the teeth and the text "Watch the big games while you eat" or something like that. In the evening I went to Form & Design Center to look att winners in Cannes. I met Owe from DN and some former collegues from SDS. After that I went back to work to try to do some ads for Lexington. I went home at 19 and found my parents in my apartment, cleaning the place. We ate at the Old Bull and I put my head on the pillow at 24.

Tuesday: It was chaos at work. We had to set the feeling for the coming season for Lexington before morning. This meant doing a catalog and some proposals for what kind of ads we should go with. It took us all day and all night. I put myself in a state of coma at 2.30.

Wednesday: Got to work at 10.30 and designed some posters and a sign. Met up with Mattias but I had forgotten the wedding pictures at home so we ate lunch instead. After work I went and picked up the visiting cards that I had designed for Skapha and also went to the gym. The sauna was perfect. There is no off position on the genious switch. But I am going try to shut it off anyway.
Last time I did a poster for Wraphouse about fotball I used this picture with the text "Tired of watching the games by yourself - you are most welcome to see them at our place".

Equlibrium vs Delirium

Friday: I finnished working late but managed to go to an after work before everybody had gone home. Took some beers and ate deep fried calamaries. Then we went to Koi just to find a girl there that I met two weeks ago. I didn't want to talk to her so I swiftly left her there on the bar stool. We were all pretty tired after a hellish week. Martin called and asked me to come to Lund because he was at a boring party with people from his class. So I met up with him and we left the party and met some people from Pavement at Stortorget. We had some beers and a nice time. I closed my eyes at 2.

Saturday: I woke up at 9 and went out to buy beer and return a movie that I rented three days ago. I had to pay an extra 40 kr for the damn thing. After that I went to Malmö and helped a good friend (Matti) to move. I had to leave early to go and watch the game (MFF - IFK Göteborg). After the game me and Jonatan took care of some business and ended up with a nice fish and chips at Stippes. Then we headed home to his place and got ready for Mattis home warming party. The house was great and we played table tennis in the backyard. It was just like being at a college party in the US. Matti gave us plenty of Fernet and beer. At 1 we took a taxi to Jeriko. I managed to get in without paying the entrance fee or the warderobe. At Jeriko I met a girl that I used to date and we spoke for a while. Mattias was in a good mood when I gave him the order for 6 beers. We finnished of the night at the illegal nightclub nearby. Got to bed at 5.

Sunday: Woke up with my parents outside my apartment at 11. We had made plans to move some of my stuff out of the apartment so that they could sell it this month. I was very hung over, tired and in a bad mood. Now I'm just going to try to write something on my blogg and maybe watch a movie.

Im going to have the time of my life

Drew a logotype for a movie production company in Stockholm today. I hope to god that they buy it. If the do I will show it here.
They wanted it to be like a whiskey bottle lable and I think I managed to pin down the feeling that they where looking for. Cause that is what I do, I work with my feelings. All the time I need to know how I feel, what I feel, what I should feel and most importantly what others feel. A good design gives you exactly the feeling that it is supposed to communicate. Sometimes it can be just the ordinary feelings like happy, hungry, bargain or quality. And somtimes it is supposed to give you a sense of image or a feeling of belonging to a groupe. The last ones are more difficult but often it is best to listen to the gut feeling. If you like it probably a lot of other people will too.

Took this photo in Tallin. I went to SEB today to fix my loans for the appartment I am buying. It is going to be a really nice place. I move there in febuary.

The Great Escape

I'm doing a music video and these are some screenshots. I will post it here later in the week when it is finnished. It is going to take me some time but I can promise that it is going to be really cool.
