Beginning of an adventure

When my son was 8 months old, we got a new member to our pack; a jackrussellterrier called Taksi (yes, that’s “taxi” in Finnish). We were not supposed to get another dog in addition to the two we already had, but Taksi sneaked into my wife’s heart by wobbling to sleep next to my son as soon as she was able to get out of the puppy pen.

Fall is coming once again and here in Finland, it means long long loooong dark days until we will get to spring again. Usually, we have snow from November on, but nowadays the winters are different. We might get snow, or we might not. We will see how it goes this time.

Often my trips have been a source of inspiration for my work, bringing to me visual images, techniques and traditions of a different world.

Why and when you should work for exposure: Project “Finding Gary Vee”

The question about working for free in creative business is probably as old as it gets.

Turn The Blind Eye

I’m not an environmental activist. I’m more or less a regular dude who hates taking out biowaste, still drives a diesel because it is cheaper and recycles plastic because my wife says so.
