Eye Candy

Things that caught my eye in Copenhagen.

One of the other artists that shows at Beaver Projects, Tanja K Jensen. The layers and layers of paper cuts, colors, and beauty.



Signage



Second Hand stores



Rad Album Covers


Christiania-Free town


A Grass Car


Things from the National Museum in Copenhagen



I wish I had better photos of these tiny paintings, they are so amazing!



A drawing from the exhibit of indigenous people


The toy collection was my favorite part of their collection, they had a whole room dedicated to doll houses. These little guys remind me of Chris Ware's Jimmy Corrigan.


And this poster from the Feminist Movement.


Eye candy from Amsterdam tomorrow.

Drill, baby, drillah!

Opening by way of the Danes

Here are some pics of the opening. Lots of people came through, mostly friends of Gudrun, but I met some really great people. We mostly talked about the differences between the US and the Denmark and plenty of talk went around about the upcoming election.

Normally, I don't put photos of myself up but Marie (from Beaver Projects) and Gudrun look so nice in this photo.




That's Johann, he helped install the show. He was really nice and very sweet!


Also, remember that post about the flag that I made for the show? Here it is flying!

The Storque brings the look home...

A brief interlude from Copenhagen. Recently, the Storque team at Etsy posted a "Getting the look" feature on my home. I love the Storque, I can obsessively look through it for hours on end (and I mean hours on end, like 8 hours...). Well, it is a love/hate because I always end up buying something or putting a store in my "favorites" pile...

Check out the feature!

Welcome to Copenhagen, so fresh and so clean!

I'm back from my week in Copenhagen and mini vacation to Amsterdam. It was a great trip and having met such great people on my trip, I feel very fortunate to be an artist for a living. Thanks to Marie at Beaver Projects and Mimi at Rumkammerat.

Upon arriving in Copenhagen, the first thing I noticed was how clean everything was. The city and the air!
Oh and the bikes!!! Everyone on bikes, it was my dream!
Some pics...


Copenhagen Airport/Metro Station. The metro is supposed to be fairly new.

Pre-setup shots.



Side by side with Gudrun Hasle's piece.

Gudrun's Dear Mom piece. I love this piece, Gudrun has dyslexia and she uses it in her art. At first, I thought it was in Danish but I realized it was written in English.







That's Gudrun painting her box...

More photos to come! Especially ones from the opening, I need to get those from Saelee.

Goddag!

Hello from Copenhagen, apologies for the lack of posts in the last couple of weeks. I've been trying to get things in order for this trip out to Copenhagen. There will probably be a lull again while I'm out here, but when I get back you will be bombarded with posts!

And this is what I'm doing out here:
