A slightly different activity you can do in Finnish Lapland is floating in a 2°C cold water. When it’s snowing you can watch the snowflakes fall on you and when the sky is clear you can stare at the stars or even watch the Northern lights dance above you.

Inspired by the the many cuddles our huskies here in Lapland get.

I have been working on a story and wanted to make it into a comic. I am not sure I am ever going to finish it, but this is the first page.

Recess just got more interesting at Hades Elementary when a new kid starts 2nd grade. The books float, staplers mysteriously attack the bullies, who is this kid and where did they come from?! Yeah......that's all I got. I have had this idea for over a year and just let it sit there. Main Character: Emily New Kid: No clue?!?!?!?!? Sounds like a cheesy manga title lol

The idea is to show a figure crossing over two ` scripts’ with a bilingual suggestion. By standing in between worlds, we see opposing viewpoints. Many artists have incorporated typography as symbols in their paintings since the 60s, but no one has attempted to approach lines in this `written’ manner. How different it is are the two writing styles of the East and the West; one with angular lines while the other in a smooth flow! This work juxtaposes the symbolism of cultures – script. At the same time, it questions the need to grasp the full meaning of the script to appreciate the aesthetic flow of calligraphic lines.
