We have a new exhibition coming up at the Södra Esplanaden Gallery. We
know that someone comes here to build things. We also know that you are welcome join us on
26th of March for the opening night to witness the result. We also know that we will dismantle the exhibition immediately the day after the opening. More than that we don’t know. Reverse engineering? Well, something like that…

My drawing friend Sami has just released a new t-shirt, now with his character Wingman! Check it out here. About Wingman: Let’s face it. Everyone needs a guardian angel. This one just happens
to have a suit, 4 watches and a small man growing out of his head. He’s
been seen on stickers around the world – now he’s finally a t-shirt
too. Sweet.

My autistic aunt bought a digital camera recently. Some days ago she was over at our place so I could help her to burn her latest photos on a CD to start a new digital archive. We were waiting by the computer when she suddenly said:
“It’s funny, but I can’t smell anything burnt!”
