today i...



joined twitter, actually joined friday but started using it today...since my studies have brought me into the web 2.0 i felt i had to try it...lets so how that works out.

had a fotosafari, walked some abandoned train tracks and tunnels. 

the weather was nice...and someone had left their white bike in the white snow. it was still there today(and with the sun finaly in place) so i could take this picture.

thank you, you who ownes this bike...

went to the fleamarked(finally on time, always late but today i made it. yeah!!) but i got to wonder what this guy actually sold...?

did some (light) reading for my exam monday. my eyes are now square. 

bought some airplane tickets....yeah!

hmmm...oh yes. read this!!(picture below) and think about it.

got to get some sleep now...very intens week to come. should be fun!

something fishy today...

last week Bjørg asked me to try drawing a fish so (during this mondays lecture) when my left brain side was working hard and paying attention... my right side brain made this dude.

and it was fun drawing "on demand" so now i wonder :

what i`m to draw next...?

do you have any ideas?

open for suggestions...just bought a marker to use on fabrics. After making a canvas bag to my girlfriend i felt inspired to do it again...make some t shirts maby.

just need to read for my exam and finish my project and.....the list is longer but somehow not remembering it now. hehe, well hope i remember it soon...untill i do i`l just sketch some more fishes. 

yes and while making the fish(s) my birds(that sounds strange) have had some evolution on their own...

a textbook example of your:

"urban underground interaction".

ending with a little bit of what i got...

lovin`...

baby it`s cold outside...

...but that don`t matter when Bjørg and Adrian are on their Helsinki treasure safari...
and can warm up at Wayne`s Coffee...possibly the best coffee in Helsinki,
but...it depends on the staff that day.
some days they make really really (and i mean really) bad coffee. other times it the best!!

"Wayne`s coffee is like a box of chocolate, you never know what your gonna get..."

the cold issue?
it does matter when we walk in cold cold cooold weather so i could get these pictures...(above)

and for some people it matters a lot more then it did for my cold fingertips.
(not my picture above)


last...i have found myself drawing these guys (above) lately. kind of tired of the birds.(below)


but Bjørg said they were scary. so i asked here what i should draw?
"how about....fishes"
so my new challange is fishes...let`s see how that works out.
any other suggestions?

have you ever...

been stressed out by something that doesn`t really matter? something that`s not even real? (picture above Julian Beever chalk artist) it`s a common thing. based on what you know to be real, could you walk over to that person up the road?

by changing established systems of understanding, people sometimes just dont know how to react to new situations...strange how we get so used to whats true or false.

but things are changing all around us...and we need to adapt to these changes.

a genius idea...


when there is a demand or opportunity comes to people in a "difficult situation"...any solution will do. so simple. so genius.                   (pictures from "pentagram magazine")

currently working on a (lets see if i can sum it up in one sentence):

"a tool based on the smartphone plattform... that enable good ideas to become great and then become genius!! through a positive creative collaborative community".

eh, close enough...been juggeling words all day, looking for inspiration...and clues. books and online presentations from all kind of fields.

inspirational, but hard work. 

talking about inspirational:       www.ted.com       check it out. talks from some of the greatest minds about a wide variety of topics. worth a look....or five.

one of those days..

the feeling of having a couple of pictures you really and i mean really want to take.

but never seem to get the timing right. i know that 19:15 i have to be one place because then the light is perfect, if its blue sky. then another place is perfect 08:00 in the morning. but i always seem to just miss it.

today i finally got one of them done. uploaded the picture to my computer, formated the memory card in my camera(?) and started photoshop...went to the folder and...

the wrong pictures were there and the right one`s were gone. bummer.

i have to make a todo list soon and.... just remember to feelgood and to take the picture again.       (above a postcard i made in visual communication last year)

when talking about feelgood.....Bjørg is flying over on thursday!

so all in all....i`m feel(ing)good.

more heart treasure hunting in oslo...


and finding. then adding a little something.

the TAIK school day has...


...early mornings


...afternoon sunsets through the windows...

...and late nights walkin home.

a good design is 99% perspiration and 1% innovation.

it can be tough but...it can also be rewarding and just plain fun. fun fact?

"night owls are more creative...in one study, "evening people" almost universally slam-dunked a standardized creativity test."

(from wired jan edition)

so there is hope for people who, like me, are up at 03 am not sleeping.
