Radio silence from me the past couple of months for a bunch of reasons. First of all I have been going crazy in a small, way to hot, studio working on my animated short. Luckily, the first phase is coming to its conclusions! Soon I will have something moving to show! It has been a copious amount of work but thanks to the economic support of the Swedish Arts Grants Committee I have been able to relax a reasonable amount in this process.

I also have had the pleasure of starting a sketching process for a big public work in Stockholm. It is still alot of work and time left but it’s a new and great experience to work with a bigger scale and budget. More on that later…

It was a long time since I felt it so rewarding to work as an artist. I have alot of projects going on and it’s all moving forward. Most importantly I find alot of it interesting and worth investing time and money into. I think the biggest benefit for me with becoming a parent is that your scope changes slightly. It’s more important for me to be present in my everyday life now and I think this spills over into the artworks. It’s somehow easier to cut away the bullshit, I think… or, I’m just still on my parental high.

Anyway, to me this feels alot like a production year for showing things in 2027. Everything in its time I guess.
