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.
When I did my book with all my portraits, photographer Björn Tidemann helped me with the photos. Yesterday he and his family came by for dinner and for finally picking up the portrait he liked the most while taking the photos; the cigarr man.
And this one is Cinas at Supernordic who helped me with the design.
..to draw. I think it is a difference between an illustrator and a draftsman (is that the word? For someone who is good at drawing?) I am an illustrator but I´m not that good at drawing. I feel pretty safe (when I don´t get my self-confidence crises) when it comes to colors, compositions, design, ideas etc but some people also has the skill with drawing. I´m thinking of finding a course where you just draw, where you work on finding ”your line”. That would be fun.
