Monday mischief

It's been a good day so far.

Tonight won't ruin my good spirit!

Dot

A dot. A simple dot. On a piece of paper. That's when you realize it ain't that big after all

Long time no see

I have been gone for quite some time, I know. And the photos from Japan could be seen on my Facebook (Vicki Lidén). I'll upload a few here too though.

Anyway. Winter came yesterday evening, and we already have a thick layer of snow covering the ground. But, together with snow and the song "Sad Story" of Ry Cooder, it can't be anything else but perfect. I think I've missed winter actually.
Somehow, everything gets very peaceful and calm during this time. It is quiet and just... very beautiful. I like winter.


Here are photos from Japan. Hope you enjoy.

Back home from a great trip

I am back home from Japan.
It has been one of the greatest experiences I have ever had in my entire life, I swear. Everything is so different from Sweden.
The travelers were me, a friend from school (Fredrik) and two teachers (Laurence and Mats) and our surpose with the trip was to explore differences and similarities between the Swedish and Japanese graphic design industry. We also made new contacts and talked about future cooperation between Broby Grafiska and Tetra Pak in Gotemba, Hirosaki University, Bunaco, and me and Fredrik even gave a cooperation proposal to Toyo Ink when we attended Asians largest packaging show - Tokyo Pack 2010. They said they would talk to the person in charge of such questions and get in touch later.

We also got to experience the Japanese culture, Tokyo, the beauty of Hirosaki and much more. Thank you all! And a special big thanks to our friend Koyata-san who showed us around in Hirosaki for a whole weekend. We all appreciated it so much.

I haven't got my photos yet, but I will upload tons of them as soon as I get them (which I think will be tomorrow). Just wait a little more.

Take care everyone!

New updates

Hellohello!

I'm back after another long delay. I have been extremely busy with other things.

However, I took the time to add some new stuff to my blog: my portfolio (which is still in progress) and some other things that might be useful.

The idea is to more or less use this blog as my CV and portfolio. But I will continue to write about other things too, of course.

OK! Time to go back to work. And tonight I will take my camera and go insane together with my friends Tortured Mind in the studio. musicphotocrazybaby

Take care!

Today is today - enjoy

I really want to get better at taking each day as it comes and live life to the fullest. And by that it doesn't mean that I have to do the craziest or coolest things you could possibly imagine every single day. No no, I want to enjoy. Do what feels good at the moment, and get the best out of it, give it my fullest attention. Like now :)
Today is a very good day, indeed. I woke up with no stress, I stayed in bed because I could and because I wanted to, I did some photoshop editing on a few photos because I wanted to, and wrote some more on my want-list. ^^

Yeah, today is definitely a good day.

-nothing-

I haven't updated in a long time now, so here's just a quick one to show you all that I'm still alive.
Yes, I'm alive...
