I have always loved exchanging art with other artists in my own country and around the world because it makes it possible for us to share our creations without having to do it through the gallery system. It stimulates self-expression and creates community while giving us all a way to get our art into the world.

Magnús is an old friend. He collected dreams from people and then got other people to record the dreams, I did the audio engineering. He then had several exhibitions with multi-channel audio and/or the dreams printed and then hung on the gallery walls. If you go to You Tube and search for my videos, I'm there as 'vecdor', there is a video of us installing the show in Gallery Crystal Ball in Berlin. Anyway at one point Magnús decided to turn the project into a book and CD published by Boekie Woekie in Amsterdam, he asked me to design the book cover and CD label, what you see was what I made for the CD label.
Yes, of course...do whatever you like...no credit necessary...it sorta defaces the artwork anyway, don't you think? Do you have illustrator? I could send you a pdf file.
Sure, working with Icelandic artists is often cool. The Skinned Rabbit project was/is very good, Magnús is a major artist, very highly respected, I'm lucky to have him as a friend. When I'm in Reykjavik I stay with his family or at his 'spare' apartment.
I think the book and CD are still available from Boekie Woekie.
A funny thing happened on the way to mail you something......
Apparently, the Post Office can't be too careful. So when you see my next mailing, expect it to have a different look from its intended concept. This would be because of the bumpiness of the packaging.
gotta go. computer's got some sort of problem and keeps making the same noise over and over. Yikes!
Got your packet of work today, Carla. Everything looks great. And the stickers came out swimmingly. Thanks again. It may be a while before I can reciprocate as I'm trying to get this Yuri Gagarin project underway and it's getting off to a slow start. Thanks again. (I posted your stuff in the Photos section).
Those were acid days, long, long ago. I have been writing about them lately and the writings and that Lamb of Rod image is on display at an exhibition in Sittard refer(!)ing to the drugs culture of the 60s and 70s... like the man says, I don't remember too much about it now, but I have drawings and Polaroids and some experiences so strong they remain etched on the memory. Thanks for liking Carla.
Wow, thank you, Carla! Last day before the postal service closes down until next Wednesday for our BIG FAT GREEK Easter...and here comes your rabibit! 'Love it...thanks so much!
Throughout the year, me thinks a bunny or rabbit will continue to hop it's way to you for your Golden Year of the Rabbit...also part of my "365" project. Every time I see a rabbit or a bunny...it will be YOURS! Enjoy your "golden year" ;-)
Are you Swedish, or...I do not believe on reincarnation. I have been there many times, even lived there for 3 months.I love the country, I wish I could go again, I miss it and all my friends there.Stay well and plan your travel in this life....
