Shoot in progress! Here's a little teaser. Finally Shoot in progress! Here's a little teaser. Finally everything is coming together and ready to be filmed. Lighting a tiny closed set is challenging but a few splashes of color bring it to life. Now off to get all the shots I need for my story!

New zines! I've put together some of my photograph New zines! I've put together some of my photographs together with some things I've written. Printed on a receipt printer, they are small and delicate. It's a format I wanted to experiment with for a long time and the @sthlm.zine.fest was a great opportunity to finally materialize them!

I'm working on a couple of projects using thermal I'm working on a couple of projects using thermal printing but I was bored of the old look of my printer. The electronics are pretty small so I thought I'd throw together a cuter enclosure for them. The whole process was quite satisfying! Maybe I'll make a neater version of this rough protoype later but it has its own charm.

Tax declaration season is coming up and it inspire Tax declaration season is coming up and it inspired me to get better organized in keeping me receipts from floating around everywhere. Quite happy with the look of this little guy. Was this project an excuse to procrastinate? Maybe? 😏

More assembling and details! I really wanted this More assembling and details! I really wanted this big pipe to be there and help with tying the elements together. I only has one, easily recognizable, simple feature, which took quite a process to reproduce, but paid off in the end.

Things are coming together for my small movie set! Things are coming together for my small movie set! I assembled the main elements with the new floor and ceiling to get a sense of the space and proportions. It's quite motivating to see the big picture taking shape. Onwards with the details and adjustments!

Another notebook-binding session! I'm already done Another notebook-binding session! I'm already done filling up the previous one so I thought I'd scale up and make a lot this time. I got myself a stack of 250 sheets of colored paper and started folding, cutting, sorting, sewing, gluing, pressing, trimming... and in a few evenings I had a nice stack of perfect notebooks! (first picture is in the middle of the process, the colored threads will be hidden but for a while I got to enjoy this nice sight)

A quick Halloween special! I needed Bunny's toe to A quick Halloween special! I needed Bunny's toe to accessorize my costume. So I mixed in some alginate, stuck my foot in it, poured some plaster, broke the mold and started painting! It's far from perfect but it sure was a fun way to spend an evening. Can you guess which movie character I'll be dressed as?

Balloons ! Inspired by Gunilla Bergström's use of Balloons ! Inspired by Gunilla Bergström's use of transparent plastic in her own illustrations. Sometimes the simplest things can take the most research and experimenting ! Filmed upside down to simulate floating balloons. I'm using this very thin metal wire, usually used for tying fly fishing baits, so the balloons can sway but not spin, and to represent the line drawn in the illustration.

A little coffee pot from the Alfons archives ! It A little coffee pot from the Alfons archives ! It actually holds and pours coffee just fine ! You can see the process from modeling in Blender, preparing for 3D printing with all the supports needed and curing the resin with UV light. It still needs a lot of work from there to end with smooth enamel finish. The goal always being to be as close to the illustration as possible. Quite a cute little object in this case.

After failing at shopping for the perfect notebook After failing at shopping for the perfect notebook, I thought I might as well make myself one ! I bought some cheap colored paper and got cutting and folding, made some signatures and sewn them with a simple coptic binding. Found the perfect paper for a cover, glued it up and after some trimming it was ready !

The bed in Godnatt is such a central piece, it received a lot of attention and detail work. From finding the right fabric, to reproducing the idea of lines of the illustrations with thread. All this in a forced perspective. The bed was the part that required the most iterations, as we wanted it to be made from single piece of paper ! I think it turned out really nice, possibly my favorite model of the show !

Continuing on adding details to my model. I found Continuing on adding details to my model. I found a good trick for making electrical conduits by slicing the plastic sleeve of an electric wire. Pretty fiddly but it fits right in the small aluminium tubes! The painted rough concrete of the beam adds some texture variety to the whole. Quite happy with how it came out, I'll keep on experimenting in that direction.
