B-home / Retreat in New York

The drawings I made with Jaakko Pallasvuo for Retreat zine were briefly exhibited in Milano Chow's hallway.

The zine comes out in 2009 on Milano's small press Medium Rare.

Flyer for my friend Johanna's pop club Les Yper Sound.

Afterparty images

When making illustrations I'm never working on one image only. That way every commissioned image actually initiates various other images- like these. If making an illustration can be a party at best, then making these private images is like the afterparty of the illustration. The kind with dancing going on.

Some songs that played when I made these images

Wedding - Shugo Tokumaru
Red and purple - The Dodos
Two weeks - Grizzly Bear (this song is addictive!)
Work it - Missy Elliott
Vacuum - Gang Gang Dance
Big Grey Ears - Scratch Pet Land
Your Motion Says - Arthur Russell

Ichizawa Hanpu post box sack

Ichizawa Hanpu post box sack, originally uploaded by hige_megane.

I put this perfect bag on my ffffound, tumblr, flickr favorites and now here. The contrast of the faded worker cotton and the color is just perfect for me. I have a lot of love for faded pink. It makes me feel good in a fuzzy, silly way and it just works with so many other colors. I used to dismiss pink as a child because I thought it was little girl color and I didn't identify with that. I think I'm somehow working that out now with all this pink and peach. Ahh. I always think I should lay off off it already but I always end up using it in my images..

Why fight. I'm just a big softie.

(I never thought this blog would be so much about color? But again, why fight.)
