Shout out to Carolina

2009-08-26T13:16:00.000-07:00

It’s funny how “small” the world can be sometimes. Today I found a comment to an interview I did for Bolten Inc. It was from a girl from Gran Canaria.
She had seen my stencil of the astronaut at the busstop here in Århus. She took a picture of it and after returning home and looking closer at it she found my signature.
She googled it and found the interview. You can see the comment and interview here:

Juxtapoz

2008-10-29T10:17:00.000-07:00

Got some photos of my works posted on Juxtapoz website today. They had only been up there a few hours before I was contacted by Richard Scarry from Corey Helford gallery. He invited me to a group show called Clowns! It will be from November 15’Th and I'm pretty sure you can guess the theme. One of my favorite, artists Audrey Kawasaki is going to be in the show as well, so I’m pretty psyched about that.
