Photos from studio Bolaget Vardagsbilder where I`ve been working with my prints and learning some great stuff about printmaking and art generally from the best printers I know. Everything`s going my way... except money.

2011-10-17T12:38:00.002+02:00

I`ve been incredibly busy with art and stuff lately. I`m back at school making prints. I have no time and no money. But most of the time I´m like a happy puppy. Here`s some pictures of test printing I did last week. I`ll post the final result when it`s finished.

My home forest. I was picking mushrooms yesterday, didn`t get as much as I hoped for but it was a nice three - hour walk and I got few great pictures. I`ve missed being in a forest that is more than just a park. I even got lost in these dark woods.

I usually spend my summers in Estonia and this year is no different. So you`ll probably see more "tourist" photos during couple of next weeks. These photos are from Alatskivi Castle.

2011-03-26T13:37:00.003+01:00

After 3 hours of sleep and and about 7 hours of traveling by foot, train, bus, plane and by bus again La Fleur café
certainly did cheer my up. Tallinn is full of buildings that don`t fit in with their surroundings. I wish I had my camera that day.

2011-03-20T18:44:00.003+01:00

It´s been a good Sunday: I´ve managed to get some things fixed around the house and of coursemanaged to ignore all the
important paperwork I should do. (Some other have been sleeping all day long.)
But finally I`ve got the time to read the book I`ve been longing to read.

these forgotten letters

2011-03-16T19:24:00.006+01:00

Some years ago at the Printmaking collage in Stockholm I made this book. Inside, there´s ten letters to people

I´ve met and to whom I missed to say everything I wanted to say.

It`s handbound, the prints inside the envelopes are printed with offset press, prologue and epilogue with an old letterpress.

(I probably should update these letters now)

Speaking Tree

I might have posted this one before, can`t really remember, I`m too tired to remember anything in recent days.
But this is one of my favorite pictures I have made. Drawing and silkscreen on plywood.

2011-03-05T08:35:00.009+01:00

I have a new place to stay. It suppose to be my home but ( even though it looks nice ) it surely doesn`t feel like one.

Hopefully it will change soon. We`ll see.

Anyway, picuture in the middle is a duplex lithograph I printed about year and a half ago.

I really miss the sound brayers make rolling on ink.

in Ophiuchus

2011-01-26T23:35:00.015+01:00

My Astrological sign has changed!

Ophiuchus "The Serpent Holder" is the 13th sign of the Zodiac; the sun travels through this star constellation before

entering Sagittarius from Scorpius during 19 days of a year.

Ophiuchus is also the only sign of the Zodiac which is linked to a real man - Imhotep, who lived in

ancient Egypt around the 27th century BCE

and it is said that he brought the art of healing to the mankind.

(Pretty excited about it.)

greenhouse effect

2011-01-18T23:46:00.004+01:00

My mom didnt like at all that I posted this photo of our greenhouse on my blogg...

She thinks it ugly. Well, I disagree.

How can that by ugly??? It´s corroded and old and beutiful.

Just had to repost it and its winter version of course.

She made these fantastic masks for one of the plays in the theatre project called "3 x Dracula".

2010-02-13T17:13:00.004+01:00

Antique shop just next to Vinca Minor sells these amazing lights. Keep looking at them all the time, specially in the dark.
Vinca Minor is starting to look like a gallery now but there is still much to do. But we can make it! Expecting to open in the end of march.

2010-01-31T17:09:00.004+01:00

Yesterday I visited Grafikens Hus in Mariefred, Sweden(International centre for Fine Arts printmaking) to see an exhibition with Axel Fridell and Pentti Kaskipuro. I`m amazed by their dry points and etchings. Great prints by great artists.

I miss making prints but specially making prints at the workshop in Grafiken Hus. It has a special atmosphere, I can work almost 24/7 when I`m there: super productive and extra efficient. Should go there soon and make some silkscreen prints.

2010-01-28T20:32:00.001+01:00

Someday I`d really like to live in Viljandi - just for a little while.

2010-01-12T22:48:00.013+01:00

Last days of my perfect vacation in Estonia I spent with Marja in Tallinn. Most of the time we were hanging out at the old town looking for a party to attend but we discovered Italy instead.

(3rd photo: Narnian lamp-post in front of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.)
