I´m thinking of differnet products I could have in a small shop here at my website. One idea is to print a 70×100 poster with some of my portraits from last year. With a nice typo. That could look cool. I just have to find the CD with all the photos..
I sent my exhibition book to the wonderful site Book by its Cover and I´m very happy and proud that my work is shown there today.
Today I went for a long bikeride into town to deliver my books. The artmuseum Liljevalchs want to sell it in their shop which makes me happy. Right now the museum is closed because they are preparing for the Jan Håfström exhibition, opening this Saturday. I got to see a little and it looks like it is worth going.
Speaking of contrast (see 4/4); this is another example – when I do too much of graphic, computer made work I have do to something like this.
A year ago a friend called me and said I had to by Lantliv, an interior-design magazine, because she had seen something in it that would amaze me. And I got really surprised when I saw this interior-design coverage. 16 years ago I painted a picture one night when I was angry and sad after a separation. My revenge was to make a big painting and send it to Vårsalongen (see February 18 to understand what that is). The painting was accepted and even sold. And then 15 years later it turns up in this magazine. I´m happy that the buyer still has it on the wall. The text on the picture? ”Those were the days, you *****”.
And a more recent painting.
