The Nerve Center

I'm dreaming of a giant desk with a permanent collection of random mess! Think indefinite source of all things beautiful. I've just started working on a book cover and this is how it starts, creating small visual notes here and there, a brain puzzle.

When You Are Looking for the Meaning of It All, You Stop Looking at It

Poem

IWANT Design

Today inspired by Jamie Woon's song "Waterfront", Buzzing Fly Records (which is not Woon's label however) and IWANT Design http://iwantdesign.tumblr.com/

I think I want to illustrate one of the Buzzing Fly tunes. I'm really busy with a magazine commission so not much time to have fun with scissors and coloured papers just now.

The Europ'Art Project

Forgot to mention that I had a visitor from France today,

Kévin Mantovani, who is working on documentary film

about some European creatives, just randomly picked.

I was contacted by him through Couch Surfing website!

Ok so big cheers to Kévin and his project, I just love people

taking initiative. He's on the road so the website updates

are quite few, but nice to check it out anyways.

The First Signs of Evolution

Well I wouldn't be me if the first mark on the Sketchbook wasn't a stain from my lunch sandwitch. Oh and the link to the site

The Sketchbook Project

My little book of The Sketchbook project 2012 came through mail today! My chosen theme is "It's summer where you are". I wanted to pick that subject because it's getting chilly and dark here in Helsinki, autumn is really kicking in. Maybe with this cute booklet I will be able to keep some warmth of those long, soft summer days.
