CREATIVE BLOCK

I seem to have run into a... a... no, please... dont say it.. it cant be.. a.. creative.. BLOCK!

I am drawing and painting and writing to get myself out of it. When I think about the logics in that it's almost like I am trying to paint myself out of the corner that I painted myself into. Interesting. Fire against fire. Hope it works.

WINTER IS ON A CHINE

If I woke up here every morning, I would be a morning person.

TUMBELINA

I have always been afraid of swans because my sister has always said that they will eat me. But today the swans were my friends. Exept for that they sound like snakes with a cold.

ALICE ON RAINBOW ROAD

Pictures by my love Daniel

Sorry for the radio silence, I have no energy for the internet right now. I erased facebook and my oh my, there still is such a thing called conversation. No, not letters and smileys my friends. Spoken words.

I'm working hard as hell on my portfolio so that it is perfect and shiny (not that I'm all that perfect and shiny) and 100 % me when it's time for picking up the phone looking for and internship. If you guys know or hear about any place that ooozes of Filippa Jean that you would like to recommend don't be afraid to contact me. It's a jungle out there! I'm mostly looking for illustration agencies or production houses (mostly for children).

I just bought some medicine for winter grayness in the shape of tickets for Justice in copenhagen and WU LYF in Malmö. Time to put some dancing shoes on! So stoked.

BONEBREAKER

Me and Katja went to help out Fenja with her final project at Hyper Island Motion Graphics. Basically it's about sports and movement and she will be shooting all kinds of sport from real strange angles. This is her shooting me and Katja on the balancebeam from straight above. It looks so cool and geometric.
We had so much fun, it was just the three of us and a trainer in he whole gym and we were just jumping around all over. It was actually so much fun that the two of us will start training again. Abs and bruises, here I come.

GOLDBABIES

I developed some shots from my new Lomography fisheye gold edition that I got in NY.



Central american transitions.




Americans make milkshakes big enough to blow up small lactos intolerants, like me. YUM!

D.I.Y.G.D.I

Do it yourself god damn it.

Today I have been sick. I really needed it.

I've just been home making these pretty dreamcatchers, watching episodes of New Girl, drinking hot cocoa and hanging out with the Golden Hanna.

Back in the game.

HODGEPODGE

WHAT A WONDEROUS MESS WE LIVE IN. THE PERFECT PLACE FOR ART.

BERRIES

Me and Hanna like mirrored souls in the copy machine.

I just got a copy of the latest issue of National Geographic, a Twin issue. I read that there is a pair of twins who were separated at birth and rejoined at age 39 and found a scary amount of coincidents that they shared. They were both unknowingly named Jim, both married women named Linda who they later divorced, both remarried with women named Betty who they later had kids who also both were named James. All in all, very interesting reading!

FROM FORESTS, FOR THE SOFT

TABLE FOR TWO / THE TRAP

Sit back and enjoy while I make a shot at acting.

This video is an inspirational video made by my sister and her team in school for an ongoing conceptual project. The project is a website for aspiring authors where they can post books for publicity and feedback. The message in the video is "Think outside the books" and breaks the cliches as I'm the action author and Pavel plays a romantic author. Just look for yourself and see, they did a really good job.

STORIES ARE DATA WITH A SOUL

Thinking about the future, where will I be. Please, dont I look like a lady who will end up in a studio with thousands of tiny little monsters that are all my creations. Thats all I wanna do, please.

I just spent the last month in school with a project that is so out of my normal boundaries. I have for 2 weeks been glued to the screen designing a gaming mouse for Starcraft 2 players. Are you guys hearing this! It's ugly as hell because apparantly, gamers like it like that. It has with no doubt been really good for me but it is also the exact reason I would never want to work as an art director. Most of the time you just get to design labels for cornflakes on extra prize and cheap perfume bottles. All while you claim that you are in a creative proffesion where you get to express yourself in the interactive out-of-the-box creative process that leads up to the ugly photoshoped corflake ad. I say this with lots of love.

Här är ett utdrag ur Emil Jensens dikt "Polygami". Känner att det relaterar väldigt starkt till mitt liv just nu. På ett väldigt kärleksfullt, självironiskt och roligt sätt. Men samtidigt lite tragiskt. Det är liksom en viss sorts retorik som förekommer väldigt ofta i mitt day-to-day liv på en media skola. (För övrigt så är Hyper Island helt fantastiskt och inte alls lika ytligt och shiny som de föesta andra mediaställen, äkta liksom)

jag är creative producer i ett kreativt projekt som ska interagera espresson i processen, ett slags interaktivt performance där kaffe latte utgör mediet för själva kommunikationen!
-du kokar kaffe menar du?
ja, det där är ett väldigt fyrkantigt och okreativt sätt att se på det, det är inte en klassisk producent-konsumentform utan mer som en kaffe latte workshop med platta hierarkier som ett delmål i projektet som då skall generera kommunikation, och jag är ansvarig för att detta är ett återkommande event på arbetsdagen, en gång på förmiddagen och en gång på eftermiddagen.
-du menar kafferaster?
-a precis!

L'ETE' INDIEN

Tonight was spent alone with some old kiddy-toy-paint and huge blank sheets,

SUSHIMUSHI

Yesterday we cooked homemade sushi.

I used to not like sushi at all but now I think it's Yum!

TIPSY FLIPSY

TIPSY FLIPSY IN THE KITCHEN COOKING INDIAN DHAL.

RUNNING IN GLITTERY SHOES.

Daniel has been here all weekend and oh what a weekend it has been.

First of all any weekend with daniel around is an amazing weekend.

Second of all, Captain and Elias threw a very nice cocktail party and I wore my glittery shoes.

Let me tell you two things.

I am not a party animal but I do know this. For a balls-to-the-walls kinda night you only need to do two things right.

1. Wear glittery shoes
2. Run home.

I just need to down one or two beers to get my running mood on. I get this strange urge to run whenever I start to get tipsy. And if no one stops me or keeps me busy dancing I soon disappear, and most often that is because I set off on a little running tour, usually towards home.

The feeling of running really fast ( yeah it usually feels like you go a lot faster at night) through empty streets with glittery shoes sure can save any night. Especially if you are running to beat Daniel to the door.

And for me it's actually really handy because I really dont ever go out jogging or do any kind of training because I find it so boring. But at night for some reason I think it's really fun and come on, how great isn't it to wake up the next morning and have gone through a whole work out without even knowing or remembering. It's like running in you dreams, but it counts!

FLEXING OUT

I took a walk with Jini on the beach. We trained together in the same gymnastics team so we got a little bit nostalgic and started flipping around in the sand.

A DAY AT THE OFFICE

This is what a day was like for me and the other intructors when working in CR.

Wake up at dawn around 5.30
Maybe have a little surf for yourself to start of the day
Meet up the students, go through some theory and hit the water for around 2 hours, this means a lot of swimming!
Munch on the most amazing brunch in the world
Rest a little, maybe go repair some dings or book restaurants. Usually it's too hot to do anything in the middle of the day.
Another class, meet up with the students and hit the water again.
If there is time before the sun sets you can always squeeze in one more surf.
Yoga under the stars with out private instructor.
Dinnertime! time to take all the guests out for some yummy food.
Crash.
