A Mexican Project in Sweden… Sketch or Die Scandinavia
After 8 months I’m ready to write about Sketch or Die Scandinavia, the beautiful Mexican project that I found by accident on the Internet one night and I had the honor to produce the first international version of it. The project consisted basically in a group of illustrators locking their selves in a room and drawing non-stop under 48hrs what people wished through social media (twitter & facebook).
I didn’t hesitate in sending a mail asking them if I could borrow their idea to produce it in Sweden. After a few emails, El Barbon (one of the creators of this project) and I decided to meet in Barcelona, where he was living at that time. I think in general they were skeptic I mean, why would they borrow their project to a stranger…And to be produced in Sweden!! After having a coffee under Barcelona’s sun we agreed to work together.
We managed to produce Sketch or Die Scandinavia on 5 months through skype meetings and tons of mails. We got into the project great artists: Kristofer Ström (SWE), Basti Santa (SWE), Rickard Grönkvist (SWE), Lina Eriksson (SWE), Stine Hvid (DK) and Jonathan Mthsn (NOR) and around 15 guests.
To produce this project was a whole new experience for me. When you produce an event, you count your success

The Song of the Week// The XX RMX feat Theophilus London - You’ve Got The Love Two of my best friends Emelie & Rikard got married this weekend. They have been together for 9 years. It was love at first sight!! They met at a midsummer celebration and since then they have been inseparable. I had the honor to play at their wedding and I dedicate this song to them and to all of you out there who had found the one!
As much as I definitely enjoy solitude, I wouldn’t mind perhaps spending little time with you…sometimes…sometimes…
Sometimes I feel like Wednesday…
I used to work at Zara (clothing store) when I was about to finish university. After a few months I got called and they were telling me that they were letting me go cause…I didn’t smile enough!!! Hahahahah.

The Animals - Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood
When words don’t come out right, when I cant say what I really want to say and when I look like I don’t care but I do.. When a simple question becomes a big deal.. Im just a soul whose intentions are good, Oh lord please dont let me be misunderstood...
Victoria Verovic-Larsson one of the summer interns we had at STPLN made this video about their internship. We worked with them and coach them so they could produced their own event, they created: Drop-In Culture, an evening with music, art and exchange of clothes.

Little Dragon - Ritual Union
“Love is not like they say…” I didn’t expected her to sound like this, her voice doesn’t stick out in the same way as it usually does…but she tried something new… and that is what this is all about…
