Tenerife toes

Black nail-polish, whitecapped volcano and local beer.

Sun and very salty water.

Overcast and wine. And brilliantly funny Bateman.

Atlantico, mi amor.

Black on black.

Off into the sunset.

Ps. I hate Spanair and I've seen enough man tits to last me a lifetime. Apart from that, it's been a great vacation and I'm sporting a very enviable tan.

Pillow punching - a passion...

Since a few months I've been going back and forth to lovely Vienna. This is my weird and wonderful passion there. Check out our Pillow Fighting Team! This is me and my team mates. Trust me, we are no powder puffs!!!

An evening with the Parisians.

Just after christmas I went to excellent Brogatan in Malmö for a beer with Sebastian.

Just as I'm about to walk out the door, in comes my friend Maria Fors and her husband Alex. We've known each other since our crazy days at Copenhagens Patternmaking Academy in 1986 (!)
She moved to Paris shortly after that and has lived there ever since. So you understand that I don't see her to often and it was such a lovely coincidence.


Maria was equally happy to see me and promptly tried to put a fork in my eye. But I forgave her, took my coat back off and ordered another beer.

Incidentally we share the habit of writing down "very important stuff" on our hands.

The hip and gorgeous Parisians! Fashion designer Maria Fors and her dj/musician husband Alex.
Great to see you guys! And bisou until next time...
Hopefully I'll go visit them this spring. I have sleeping quarters booked under their kitchen table. ;-)
Maria and Alex are serious party people, not to be taken lightly. I know this from experience. It will be tough!

Just to make the evening more intense Jonna showed up. She is very funny and truly disturbed. Here she does nasty things to food and drink while the rest of us were blushing.
When she isn't abusing innocent food, Jonna is in charge of the photo gallery Format. Definitely worth checking out!


Jonna came with Jeff who is very sweet and funny and not nearly as nasty as Jonna. He's also a great photographer.

Thank you all for a great evening!

Malmö - patterns & structures

A frozen coastline, amazingly enough the same as in the very first posts in this blog (july).

Oooooh!

Both birds and humans appear to prefer the little bridge.

Clinging to every word.

Silver birch tree

I know, banal motif, but never the less irresistable to the photographer.
Please forgive me.

Great undefinable colours and very definable lines.

Look, the're growing...

Now the neighbouring house has icicles all the way down to the window ledge!

And last night i found an A laying on the ground. Anyone missing one?

Plenty of white topping.

Decided not to have breakfast in the garden this morning. Seems amazing that I ever have...

Opting for lots of gingerbread cookies indoors instead...

I wish you all a very merry x-mas!

Stuck inside of Malmö with the x-mas blues again...

Check out the icicles on my neighbour's house...

Was supposed to go on a seven hour, northbound train journey with two transfers today, but the south of Sweden is smothered in snow and bloody nothing works! Nothing leaves Malmö central station. Except of course dissapointed travellers.


To be honest, returning back home from the station is waaay preferable to getting stuck halfway and forced to spend the night in some freezing, hell-hole station.
I guess the picture says it all.

Besides, have already been invited to lunch on x-mas eve by superb neighbours. :-D
Not the icicle record-holder, that is.

Bits & pieces...

Googled Robert&Blad and to my surprise found this...
and this as well. Two little films from Robert&Blad's participation in London Fashion Week.
Enjoy...

Miscellaneous...

Just a couple of things that put me in a good mood.
Hope they'll do the same for you.

This makes me hopefull of the kids.
Of course there is a chance it was made by some 30+, board-riding ad-agency guy. But still...


And the Carolina Chocolate Drops. Mmm... Enjoy!

NGBG t-shirt release party. Everybody was there...

The bar. Or the altar, as someone suggested.

Some of the best guys I know, from left superb bluesman Svante Sjöblom, Sebastian who runs the club "Ain't nobody's mistress but my own" and to my left Daniel Pedersen, one of my great photographer friends.

A perfect, early Friday evening after work in the studio. I was very pleasantly surprised by the turn up (around 60 people), in spite of it being really snowy and cold. Thanks friends!!

Lured them in with free beers...

Sharpest dressers this evening: my former intern Johan and Louise his girlfriend.

So this is what it was all about. The release of the t-shirt which is an homage to the street
Norra GrängesBergsGatan, where the studio is located. This is the street for illegal after hours clubs, baclava bakeries, Polish bootleg booze and a bunch of other dodgy emterprises. Robert&Blad included. ;-D

My dear old friend Heléne Thoresdotter, another of my much appreciated photographers, here with her fiancé Max. Two of the best, all categories!

Aha, customers! Staffan, teacher and funk-nerd with Johan who works with something super interesting to do with interaction design. I think.

Jenny Nordberg, half of Apokalyps Labotek, designers of our time, working with different types of waste as raw material. Brill, check out! And stylish Louise again, with pearls on her sweather.

In charge of marketing & pr this evening, Svante Sjöblom. Great salesman grin! Next to him his girlfriend Malin who also acted as my assistant for the evening. She most definitely did not spend it sitting on her ass!
