Some goodies from Berlin

Can't go abroad without getting some goodies. Here are the art related goodies. Things to use in my art journal or just for inspiration.

Postcards, stickers and some beautiful decopage paper.


I love postcards and I love stickers, so these postcard with stickers are great. ^^


A book for inspiration. I love this book of Pin-up pics by Gil Elvgren.

We now return to our regular updating schedule

It's been to long since I updated. Life kind of got in the way for a while, but now I am back and with easter coming, I will have more time for art and art updates. I've just spent a week in Berlin and it was lovely. There was art to behold everywhere. Art shops, street art, gallery and design exhibits on every corner. I loved it. What I also like about Berlin is that it has many vegetarien resturants. In Norway it is hard to find even one.:( My BF is still in Berlin, doing his video projects. He has started a blog about it should you be interested: http://apelonius.vox.com/ However, he is not used to blogging and his internet connection is rather unstable, so don't expect everyday updates. ^^

I've uploaded some Berlin street art pictures at my flickr account.

Berlin

My boyfriend got a three month stay in Berlin through Artist in Resindence. He will be there to work on some of his VJ project. The stay include free apartment and Studio for the enetire three months, pluss a small scholarship. I will be going with him the first week, then I'll visit once in a while and offcourse he'll come home now and again. We'll be going to Berlin for the first time in March. I was wondering if anyone reading this blog has been there? I wondered if anyone had any recommnedations on what to visit, especially art vise. Museums, big art shop, special architecture stuff like that. All I have been told so far is to visit kreuzberg and that they have vintage shops there. ^_^ I think it will be a great trip no matter what I do though. I love visitng new places.

I am currently saving up for another Japan trip. I hope to go to Tokyo again sometime soon, but I fear it'll take a will to save up. Bills to pay you know.
While on the subject of Japan; my dear friend Cecilie is currently on a one month backpacking trip through Japan and I asked her to do me the big favor of keeping an eye out for my dream journal/notebook/sketchbook called the Travelere's Notebook. It's only available in Japan and Thailand and I have been dreaming of it for a while now. Today I read in her blog that she got it and was sending it to Bergen soon. ^____^ I am beyond thrilled right now. Pics will be posted once I get it, but you can see more of it here.
