a dutchman & a swede

It is -12 degrees Fahrenheit outside right now and you know what that means...
It means Jens Lekman on YouTube, that's what. When people think of Sweden I think they have the wrong idea, like Cliff Richards who thought it was just porn and gonorrhea. And on another note...


Dutch-born Tord Boontje has a studio in a castle nestled into the landscape of the French countryside. I sat in a corner of the Art Cellar today and read his delightfully die-cut filled new book, wishing it was mine. His installations are especially wonderful, as are some of his thoughts on design. Check this video. Mr. Boontje, if you are out there, are you need of any interns?
