I got this nice scarf as a present from my cousin recently.


Not obvious why, but it reminds me of my time at HDK (school) a couple of years ago. Maybe it´s the bright blue?
Top - photo from one of the best courses I had during school time, a pattern for wallpaper course. It´s Sara sitting on the chair
with that wonderful smile on her face. In the middle Hanna, and in the back Lisa.

Albert Sjöstam, a very talented artist, graphic designer and a former class mate of mine,
I´m happy to say - is the first one agreeing to Fine Little Interview.







Do you discuss your creative process?
I use to discsuss and show what im doing to some of my friends. But mostly i like to keep my process for my self







How does music inspire your art?
Music is one of my main interests, and I find a lot of inspiration in both the music itself and in different cover art.
I also do music with my friend Christoffer Fransson (www.myspace.com/coasweden) and the process for making music is
quite similar to my design/art process.


Favourite artists?
I really like Ivan Aguéli. He was a Swedish muslim, anarchist and painter living in Egypt. I also recently saw an artfilm by
the artists David Ohlsson and Dit-Cilinn, very psycadelic and beautiful, check them out.




What are you most proud of in your closet?
Hard to choose, I like jackets the most. I got at least twenty different jackets.
I recently bought a german army jacket in Berlin which is very big and cosy.

The top two pics are Alberts patterns for Eco Wallpaper.
