experimenta playground

i went to melbourne last weekend. melbourne is a beautiful city, we had lots of fun although it was such a short trip (too short!). i'll upload some pics from the trip to my flickr. but anyway, for those of you who live in melbourne or happen to be there now, i'd recommend you to go to experimenta playground. it's a design meets technology exhibition held in melbourne from 25 august to 23 september 2007 and admission is free! my favourite is the shadow monster and sea creatures interactive artworks. hurry go there!

i am...

turning to 25 today. yet i'm still learning to fly and there are still lots of things to explore. few of my goals this year includes being more creative and learning some design programs. (photo by iostica)

how did you get started your craft, drawing and taking photos?
Being bored in my grandmother's kitchen, knitting and drawing were the perfect things to do. I get bored and restless very easily. I started taking photos to have a hobby and to get inspiration.

what medium do you use on your art? which media do you enjoy the most?
Pen, Pencil, Gouache, Computer... Gouache is my favourite, but the one I use the least, since I don't like to get dirty hands.

describe your art / style.
Spontaneous, screaming people, colourful, ironic, bizarre.

favourite artists?
Nina Hemmingsson, Edward Hopper, Camilla Engman, Jockum Nordström...

any current obsessions?
Having breakfast & reading at cafés, peaches, various blogs, beer.

current music and does it influence your work?
Joy Division, New Order, Arctic Monkeys, The Editors, I'm sure I'm being influenced in some way by everything I listen to and look at, but I can't say how.

describe your ideal weekend.
Breakfast at a café, long walk taking pictures, read books. In Gothenburg, Berlin or elsewhere.

where to from here?
Two more years on master's level (graphic design and illustration) + freelancing, have a dog, a car and no boss.

*thanks for sharing, sandra!*
