A less serious assignment: 27th character for Bodoni and Akzidenz Grotesk. Due to having a fever for a week I only had one day to work on this… Oops, definitely needs more work!
I got another cold, or maybe it was part two to the first cold, but now I am all fine again and having an all work weekend to catch up on everything. Although every weekend is a work weekend around here, of course.
Homesickness comes in many forms. I didn’t think I had any, as it wasn’t about missing anything particular.. (well except having coffee with K., or my mom, or playing with Otto) But my form of homesickness seems to be the kind that makes me want to withdraw, be even more antisocial than I usually am, not wanting to write or take photos. Perhaps it is just tiredness from the colds. This week I’ve been going for walks to connect more with my surroundings. Maybe one day soon I will take my camera.

I know what you mean with the antisocial homesickness. I moved from stockholm to gothenburg six months ago, which resulted in no creativity whatsoever. I don’t feel that I want to create something. It’s sad, but I hope it comes back.
take care of yourself and drink a lot of fluids for the cold(s)

I totally recognise the impulse to withdraw when you feel a little out of place or out of your element. i think the walks sounds like a good remedy!

I like all the things on your desk :) It looks great!
Hope the homesickness will get a bit better soon!
