Rune Guneriussen
I think Norwegian artist Rune Guneriussen deserves a mention. I’m especially fond of the series “A natural selection” – These moody, mystic and colourful images are absolutely beautiful. I would like have the to above hanging in my living room. See more of his work at his website, and follow him on twitter.

Why should I stay here?
Do yourself a favour, plug in a decent pair of speakers or headphones.
This post might seem a bit weird. I just wan’t to express my excitement towards Radiohead and especially the number Weird Fishes. This must be the best piece of music ever written. I’m sitting here sobbing. To whom it may concern: I would like to have this track played at my funural.
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn meWhy should I stay here?
Why should I stay?I’d be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn meTurn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chanceI get eaten by the worms
And weird fishes
Picked over by the worms
And weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishesYeah I
I’ll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape
And I
I’ll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape

Thinking big in a small place
With a land mass of 1,104 km2 and a population of seven million people, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Apartments are small and expensive. Architect Gary Chang decided to design a 32 m2 apartment to be able to change into 24 different rooms, all by just sliding panels and walls. He calls this the “Domestic Transformer.” I think his idea is pretty great. It reminds me of an old Disney classic, where Goofy, Mickey and Donald are traveling by camping-wagon.
The key idea is that everyone could look into their home more carefully and into how better to optimise their resources, because space is a resource. There is no use making your home as if it is a perfect show flat but at the same time never using the space.

Copenhagen summerdance
Last night I went to a free open air dance event in the beautiful surroundings of the Copenhagen Police Headquarters, with modern dance hosted by Dansk danseteater. I think it’s the first time I have witnessed this kind of entertainment, and I liked it. The play was divided into several smaller acts lasting from 4 to 15 minutes. Beijing Dance Theater was the nights biggest experience, with mind blowing music and incredible choreography.

Graff opening
I have been working for min friend Sarah the last couple of weeks designing her logo and temporary website, and also helping her getting ready for her opening Friday. In less than three weeks she managed to create this amazing little store ‘Graff’ at Amagertorv in Copenhagen. The opening was very well visited and I strongly suggest that you swing by her this summer. Unique, exclusive and beautiful accessories and jewellery at affordable prices.

Pimp your Brooks
Last fall, my beloved bike was stolen downtown Copenhagen (I hope you’ll fall and bruise). Well maybe it’ll pop up some day, until then, I have found a new hobby. If you have a classic Brooks saddle you could get Kara Ginther to customize/pimp it for you. But if you don’t want to spend around $99 – $345, it actually looks kind of fun to do it yourself as well. I think it looks great! You can see more pictures of her work on flickr.
Note that if you carve you brooks leather saddle, it might not be weatherproof?!

Conceptual photography in Berlin
I’m a big fan of conceptual photography and a huge fan of Berlin. Mixed by photographer Matthias Heiderich resulted in these amazing images below. Beautiful colors, lines, light, mood. Check out his portfolio at Behance. Most of his work is for sale. Five different shots would suit my hall quite well.

Young and golden danish lions
Art Directors Nicolai Villads and Peter Ammentorp, who is fresh out of DJMX: Creative Communication, recently won TWO awards in Cannes. Young Cannes Lions and Future Lions with this fictitious case created for the Book Publishing company: Penguin Books. I don’t want to explain the concept, they do that much better themselves in the video above. I think the idea is perfect. Congratulations young danish lions!
The illustrations where created in Adobe Illustrator, animated using After Effects and final edit in Final Cut Pro 2

I drove in a Little Red Corvette, and was surprised at what I got
After a couple of fantastic days at Roskilde Festival, I’m back to reality in Copenhagen. 4 days of great music and company of friends is over, as the weekend peaked sunday evening with Prince performing his tiny ass off at Orange scene in front of around 70.000 people. I got to see several of my favorite bands, all of them were incredible. Especially The National, which I had pretty high expectations for.
Well, even though the festival in Roskilde all in all went great, I can’t help but thinking, that I would like try Glastonbury next year. I have never been to England, and Glastonbury looks so nice and would be a great opportunity for me to see the country. More amazing photos at Boston.com

Alright. I can’t get around Roskilde festival without mentioning the purple prince. I sure hope to see him in great shape. 70.000 people singing along with his never dying classics sunday night seems like a really fine way to end the festival. Here’s a taste from his brilliant first live album “One Night Alone!” – Please let us get a glimpse of that on Sunday.
