April

Walking new paths

Smelling on new things. Trying to see other things then I usually do. Next week I'll be looking for numbers.

Has everyone that participated in the paper trade received their papers?

I visited Vitte's ordblog and found a link to a danish artist - Gitte Bach.
I got an e-mail from C'est Moi Ce Soir . I think they are a little related, the danish and the french artists.

Another great link from The Lumper (Thinkmule)- Jeffrey Decoster.

Mo...rran

Ana and Camilla. Guess who's portuguese and who's swedish :)

I've done a Bologna-slideshow.

Last summer Ana and Rosa invited me to Portugal, of course I went. It was a short but great weekend in Lisboa. That was the first time we met, I liked her even before we met. Even more after. I think she's me in Portugal ;) but shorter :D

I liked what Corey wrote in my guestbook, that Venice is living art. Made me think about Las Vegas again :)) What will Las Vegas look like in a couple of hundred years?

Venice

Back to Bologna with the last train. Felt like interrailing.

Venice is truly beautiful, but in a way it feels like Las Vegas - a piece of scenery. Wonder why Vegasandvenice has choosen her blog-name?

Blue/red

Ana at the fair looking at illustrations. We lunched with people from Marlena agency.

Gosia Machon, from Germany, acrylic on celluloid.

Bologna by night, on my way to a restaurant with Ana, Dora, Teresa and Eduardo. For dessert - chocolate profiterole :)

The best about the fair is to see illustrations from countries you normally miss. Like Iran - Rashin Kheyrieh.

You know when you are waiting for your luggage at the airport and your bag looks exactly the same as the rest, here is the solution.

The whole city of Bologna is in this colour.

There are a lot of archades.
