stephen baynes illustration.

These are a couple of illustrations I've done for my Print class assignment. The dude in the pictures is Stephen Baynes, an Australian choreographer, who is the reason for the event that I'm "promoting" in my project. I created this illustration by tracing a photo of Baynes, then tracing the tracing with a fine-liner, then tracing the outlines in the fine-liner tracing. And the rest is Photoshop magic.

doll tee.

I designed this t-shirt for my brother Gustav quite a long time ago as a Christmas present. You know, it's all about the brother-sisterly love. Now, many years later, it has been picked up by an Australian t-shirt company, based here in Melbourne, and you can buy it as a t-shirt or singlet here.

australia day.

Last week, on the 26th of January, it was Australia Day. I celebrated this by going to a sweet gig where Crazy 88 were playing, with the supporting act of Jude.

great ocean road.

This is another trip I made recently with my friends. We went west from Melbourne and out to the Great Ocean Road, which is an amazing road to take. We stopped by in Apollo Bay, Torquay, Wye River and Lorne. Along the way we saw wallabies, an echidna, a koala and penguins.

sydney.

Here you go, folks! Some snapshots from my little trip to Sydney a few weeks ago. I took some lame photos of the Opera House as well, but for some reason I find it more interesting to photograph tourists who in turn photograph this highly overrated piece of archetecture, so no photos of that here... I learned however that the granite tiles that cover the building's roof is all imported from Sweden. Wow. Good to know. This trip to Australia's biggest city (not capital city) was a nice one, but confusing. The roads did not make sense and I constantly felt lost while trying to find the way to places. However nice the city was, I have to say, when comparing Ausralian cities, I'm TOTALLY Team Melbourne.

new year, new adventures.

Wohoo! Two thousand and eleven. Hells yeah! January. Summer. Hot weather at this time of the year is something that has never accured in my life before. But now I'm in Australia, so anything could happen. I reckon this will be a very interesting year. So many new things, changes and opportunities. I won't tell you what I'm up to this year just yet, because I don't wanna jinx anything. But I can tell you that I'm going to Sydney for a quick visit this week. It's a bit weird that I've been in Australia for almost a year and I haven't been to Sydney yet, so here I go. It's gonna be rad! Photo opportunities, exploration, inspiration, good food, maybe some beach time and meeting up with the best dude in the world. Did I tell you I'm pumped for it!

julafton.

Christmas Eve (julafton) is the big deal if you're from Sweden. So we gathered some Swedes (and a few Aussies) at my friend Mikaela's place and enjoyed traditional Swedish Christmas food in the Australian sun. It was my first summer Christmas ever and probably not the last. Merry Christmas!

just a note inbetween craziness.

folk rythm and life.

Last weekend was all about the Folk Rythm & Life Festival, which was a pretty sweet getaway from the city. It was a rather small festival of circa 3000 visitors, with only one program that you had to take a picture of if you wanted to know what was on. The weather was perfect, the food was yummie, the music was awesome and the company was excellent. What more could you ask for...
