Mr & Mrs. Surename Here
In those days a decree went out from the blog masters that all of the world should hint the blog masters a blog to be nominated for the blog awards. This was the second blog awards when Peppe Öhman was governor of all bloggers. And all went to hint, each to his own computer. And people also hinted a blog from Ostrobothnia, from the town of Vaasa, which was called Minimal Street Art, because the blog was very original, to be nominated with Nabaz Party Blog and the everyday party outfit blog.


And here we can see Mr. & Mrs. Surename Here as they are waiting for the bus to the Blog Awards 2011.

Painting day

Today is the perfect day to do some painting. I have a few characters left that needs to be shared with the world. I still have to think of their presentation but eventually I will come up with something.

I also have a live* idea that I am eager to do. It will be made out of dough and hopefully I will be able to present it in the near future.

*Live= stuff I do on the spot. I usually make, bake and paint the characters at home but when I do a live thing I shape them and paint them on the spot.
