Christmas came and went, with dinners, relatives, board games and candy. My no-stuff wish worked pretty well and I mostly got gifted with non-stuff. Now it’s wonderful to be home alone again, enjoying the quiet, lazing about in my pajamas.

I’ve been looking for ideas because I think my website is due a facelift; I need to start looking for a summer job.. (wink wink, potential employers!)

recent inspiration:
- nice work from practice
- muuto, love the big navigation.
- Jonathan Looman’s fingertype.
- modular typography by Kokuyo (via Sia)
- Essimar’s blog and paper creations.

soundtrack: Joni Mitchell - Blue album.

There is one thing that we do every year, without which Christmas is not a Christmas, it’s watching The Snowman in the morning of 24th. Besides that all I want from Christmas is rest, lots of time for reading, and maybe a little snow…

Merry Christmas!

I am getting more and more type-obsessed. Here’s some nice geometrical work.

Listening to weird fishes, napping on the sofa, feeling a bit blue, but in a good Sunday-like way.

P.S. A small illustration I did for Ylioppilaslehti.

Two deadlines, one haircut, zero cupcakes and a magazine illustration later…
I am still busy! A dutch exam on Wednesday, lots of reading to do.

Still hooked on Ane Brun, Rubber and Soul … I know that rubberband-feeling. Of course she is performing in Amsterdam again in April. Way to rub it in…

I saw the Helvetica film. It was so interesting, and funny too. Those type designers are real weirdos, you know <3
