Post opening gloom

One problem with having an exhibition is being surrounded by your own material for a prolonged period the thought to produce yet more material is not very tempting (the thought being this sure must be enough for one lifetime). Luckily I have some stray sketches to post until (if) the urge to create comes back to me. So here's some random pirates:Captain Knit Captain Ant CEO Blood Dessert. And a big thanks to all you who spent some time at our show in Sigtuna this weekend, it's open two additional weekends.

We started hanging for our show today Putting the t-shirt inside out is as crazy as I go in fashion sense (note the 1000th post lottery image, I didn't get an answer from the winner. if you read this please mail me for your price) Cecilia hard at work making frames for her Pigeons.. In wait for the birds to arrive... Not yet caught Caught and ready to be hung (tomorrow hopefully) Trying to solve Fermat's last theorem with a folding rule... Highly strung... Asta yearning for Milou (Snowy)

Yappy terriers

2009-10-18T19:06:00.017+02:00

I've been listening to podcasts on global warming and the future (both Stanford and Oxford universities have excellent lectures on itunes U), a lot of what I'm hearing scares me, but the fact that some really smart people are working on solving some of the earth's problems is comforting. That's not the feeling I get when reading what the skeptics are saying. Richard Dawkins, (speaking about creationism, but I think the analogy travels) compares them to Yappy terriers (I'm not sure the skeptics on global warming is as benign as terriers though) and as I already have an obnoxious terrier at home and seldom consult her when seeking information. I think I'll ignore the skeptics for the time being. For some examples of how the debate is going check the comments I did get on this post (occasionally rather nasty reading )

Poster/Exhibition card updated

2009-10-16T08:59:00.007+02:00

Digitally cleaned Added some coloring (my daughter double checked that I hadn't forgotten to color any leaves) I worked on this all day yesterday (until my hand started to hurt), will start to color it today and then merge it with my wifes design. The show will be at Sigtuna Kulturgård starting the 7th of November

Give me a reason for not changing

2009-10-15T10:34:00.007+02:00

Earth is at peril According to a majority of scientists the earth is getting warmer the main culprit in this warming is, according to them, humans burning of fossil fuels Other scientist reading the statistics in another way say that is due to the sun and that we might be going into a colder spell Other skeptics on climate change use a more colorful vocabulary

And some have rather far flung theories on energy sources Those who believe that climate change is a fact, sometimes have pretty radical solutions to the problems But even if all the people who think that climate change is a fact and that the earth is in utter danger.... and all the skeptics who think that global warming is the greatest hoax in human history are right

wouldn't a shift to a more sustainable way of living, less stressful to the environment, be a good thing? What's there to loose in gearing the earth towards sustainable energy sources. Ponder if 1.3 billion Chinese would live the extravagant lifestyle of your average Californian... they would need six more earths to sustain them and who wants to explain to them that they can't?

No to much progress on the poster today writing a press release took better part of the morning (I can't belive how hard writing a couple of lines can be)

Poster/exhibition card

Me and my wife will have an exhibition in less then a month (the 7th of November) so we have started doing the poster/invitation card for the show. My wife is making the text and I will make a tree as per usual.
