I was home on a family visit recently and discovered some of my older works once again. These two are still among my favourites.

Mole the World II
Forgot to post this one. The second mole for Mole the World Project, which you can find also in their gallery. Plus many more moles. You can also send them your own moles ^^
Mole the world
I’ve been busy painting the last couple of weeks and I managed to finish 12 paintings in somewhat record time before heading south for the summer.
Two of the works are dedicated to the in my opinion brilliant Mole the World Art Project.
So here my contribution to mole Reykjavik.
More work in progress…
I’ve been busy painting like crazy the last few weeks. So far there are 8 new paintings, but only 4 of them finished and still a few to go before I take off for the summer.
There’ll be an exhibition opening on September 1st in Reykjavík with hopefully all of my finished paintings ^^ Below is one of the works (that I finished in the meantime) in progress…
What do you think?
Something old and something new
I realized only now that I had a bunch of pictures of older drawings and paintings that I never put online. So I just made an update to the artwork pages.
I’m trying my water colour skills at the moment and some pictures of the latest works that have been inspired by Iceland should be up soon.
Meanwhile you can read here what I have been up to with the Grapevine and on a glacier in Iceland.
French Aurora or something like that
… alternative title: La French Smoker ^^
Thought it is time to add some of the works I created during the Christmas holidays. Thanks for being an inspiration Mr. M 😉
Feeling Blue
Literally. Finished this one yesterday. Had a batch of blue colour on my forehead which I only noticed afterwards while trying to get paint off my hands. No idea how it got there…
Anyway, this one was inspired by a paper graffiti in Reykjavík. I don’t know if it still exists as it was already half destroyed when I left the island in October.
Something new
As promised, I’ve been busy painting these last couple of days and I finished a couple of works I started already in October. So far, all of them are inspired by Iceland and I also attempted my first self-portrait. Or alternative title: Rainbows and unicorns ^^
New paintings
New artworks in progress and they will be here soon! All are going to be inspired by Iceland ^^
Back in the paper
Headline says it all. Another article has been published about me and the exhibition in Bad Saulgau, Germany, which is still continuing until 30th of September. Pity I wont get to see it though, as I am still in Iceland enjoying the icy wind and fabulous sunshine ^^
Humboldt
I took part in the Dawanda Design competition and my wallpaper was among those to be picked and soon to be put up on the wall in one of the rooms at the Meininger Hotel on Berlin!
The place of the hotel is the location of the former house of Alexander von Humboldt, a German naturalist and explorer. The Meininger Hotel is inspired by Humboldt with each of the rooms and wallpapers relating to a quotation by him. The one I picked was:__________Ich glaube meinerseits, dass man noch größeren Entdeckungen dann immer sehr nahe ist, wenn die Tatsachen in einen scheinbaren Widerstreit treten.An Julius Schmidt, Berlin, 30. März 1850_______________________All designs to be found on Dawanda.Mine is the one by Lumikukka or you find it in the gallery for Artworks 2011 ^^
Opening of the Hotel will be on June 19th, 2011with a Dawanda Design market from 10 – 6 p.m.
Address: Meininger Hotel, Oranienburger Str. 67/68 in Berlin Mitte
Go and have a look if you are in town. Pity I won’t be able to make it coz I’m still in Iceland ^^
Hello World!
Welcome!
Was planning to put up a new and better organized blog some time ago but today on this perfect rainy Sunday afternoon in Reykjavik I finally found the time to do so.
At the moment there’s nothing new that has been already published on my old blog and this one is way from being finished but I’ll keep on working on it over the next few days ^^
