What is hidden in the dust
Har dammat några gamla böcker i min bokhylla och tillåtit mig inspireras.
Have dusted some old books in my bookcase and allowed me inspiration.

My kind of book
It really is! Finally I had the time. You have to give this inspiring book, where Camilla Engman shows her work and life, plenty of time. I discover new things everytime I open it.

In to scary now...
In my search for something new in my work, I think I´m going to let me be inspired by the dark... Try to make scary pictures, still with a touch of naivism. I´ll see if it is possible to combine it with my funny simpel retro style :-)
Who does´nt like Edgar Allan Poe stories?! The English illustrator Aubrey Beardsley, who also illustrated for Oscar Wilde, illustrated Poe´s books.
Not to forget late artist Edward Gorey, who´s work seems to be inspired by these nineteenth-century artists.
Something new from Danish Woven Flesh, comes illustrated shirts inspired by the great Poe.
One of my favorite artists is Dave McKean, who made the wonderful book about Mr Punch, amongst others, written by Neil Gaiman. His work mix photo with drawings wonderfully.
Note: Have to try...

Back in Stockholm filled with impressions
After two days at the Göteborg Book Fair and two tired feets later, I have arrived to Stockholm. It was the first visit for me, the book fair, and I think I did´nt thought it whould be so crowded.
It was nice to see the display area on which Vilda Publishing (Vilda Förlag) showed the books I´ve illustrated.
There was a lot of things to see and do and as many I strolled around, new meetings and also listening to interviews with authors. Unfortuned I missed one seminar that I really would have liked to see – Stian Hole, a Norwegian illustrator. But I did meet him later at the publisher, when he was signing books. So now I have two copys of his book "Hermans sommar".
I found some inpiring books, both new and second-hand as well...

Museum: the Macleays, their collections and the search for order
During our journey-around-the-world we visited the Australian Museum in Sydney. A lot of activites for both kids and grown ups. For exampel they had a really god lab which any one could spend days in just for research. I´ll probably sounds like a nerd, but who cares. How ever, I found this amazing book about the Macleays Museum collections. Museum by Robyn Stacey and Ashley Hay. I could not buy the book then, it was to heavy to carry or send by post. So the kindly wrote down all about it on this note.
So... thanks again for the internet, cause now this book soon will come to me in a big package. I´m so looking forward to it!

You can read more about the book and the exhibition (2007) at the homepage of the University of Sydney, were the museum is located. Or in the National Museum of Australia's own Journal.
