I'm in Amsterdam! Blog updates might be scarce over the next couple of days.

My Bombay Sapphire stuff made into the March issue of Norwegian design magazine Kreativt Forum as one of the 'Monthly Picks'. Yippee-ki-yay.

My new dream job. Ok, maybe just an incredibly witty way to make a headline for the two concerts I went to last week: Girl Talk and Squarepusher.

First one was truly great – blood, sweat and tears baby! Seriously though, I did bust my lip open on some girls head that night. Anyways, what's extremely sympathetic about that young man from Pittsburgh, is, that he actually wants to be surrounded by the crowd and explicitly asked the people to enter the stage as soon as possible. And they did. He thanked them by throwing a helluva a party. Now if the only the Norwegian crowd did too... No, I don't wanna be too harsh, they get a B– for effort. Still, when it's Girl Talk in the house there should better be more than 1/3 of the people dancing their ass off. Next time. By the way, the opening act was the hilarious Captain Credible. That guy went totally havoc on stage while producing some pretty bad ass music. Be sure to check out his videos when visiting his MySpace site!

As for Squarepusher. Well, it wasn't spectacular but it wasn't horrible either. I guess 'decent' describes it best. Probably a concert with him 5 years ago would have been more thrilling. Still good to have seen such a legend of electronic music live for once. By the way, all the pics from the Girl Talk concert are © Bjørnar Håland / groove.no. My cam only seemed to wanna work after the concert :P

Nothing big, just got two nice little trips ahead of me. First, in the beginning of April I'll be heading to the Netherlands to visit a couple of friends in Amsterdam / Rotterdam / Den Haag. Coincidentally people I know from all sorts of places (Erlangen, Darmstadt, Copenhagen, Paris) are currently residing in that little country. And second, Bleed is graciously allowing me to join them on their 9th anniversary trip down to Lisbon to attend the OFFF design conference in early May. There, Svein has been invited to speak alongside such greats as Sagmeister, Neville Brody, Si Scott or the people from Universal Everything.

Other than that nothing much. Work work work. Sleep sleep seep. Do stuff do stuff do stuff. I'll hopefully be putting up some sketches from a new scribble book on Monday. Yay and Toodles.
