The mountain of laundry decreases slowly. But I should really clean.

Met a woman on the fair for which I drew a pattern for about 4 years ago.
Vector graphics. I never really liked it. But the Apple stores did, thats where
you will be able to buy these computer bags further on (in Sweden). Anyway
she gave me a bag and the pattern looks better like this than on paper. The
name of the bag comapany - Dangerous Goods.

Sandy and the 100 paper cranes.

Wanted to tell you about all the nice people who I met on the fair and to show you
inspiring things I saw. But I kind of run out of energy. Didin't photograph much and
didin't collect addresses. Brought home this though. Cloudberry earrings from
Marikoru and a mini poster from Liljevalch (tack Karin).

Will sleep and eat some.

Otto says thank you to all of you who voted on his wallpaper.
