Fanny G for H&M

2012-02-01T09:41:00.000-08:00

Yay!
Finally, the t-shirts I made for H&M are in stores, can't wait to see them in person!
It's always so exciting to see a drawing going into print, especially textiles.
Bill and I just got back from London,
Bill was shooting for Confezioni Crosby winter collection and I got to see the prints I developed for them,
they looked really awesome, will do a post on that later....
Hope you guys are having a good start to the new year!

Happy New Year!!

2012-01-11T09:57:00.000-08:00

Hope this new year will bring you lots of love and happiness!

Pencey

2011-12-14T08:59:00.000-08:00

For the whole month of august I worked on a project for the clothing label Pencey.
It resulted in a 13 pieces jewelry collection, it was such a fun collaboration and I think the pieces turned out great!
Here is a sneaky peek of the pieces...

Kjell5000

2011-11-21T07:55:00.000-08:00

A few months ago I worked with my brother on a Swedish tv series called Kjell5000,

basically it's about Kjell and his 5000 friends on Facebook.

His mission is that he is going to meet all of them

to figure out who they really are, are they friends or not?

You can check the series out at SVT Play.

I made all the animations and it's great fun to see it all come together.

New episodes every Monday at 2pm!

Crosby Summer Catalogue

2011-11-15T09:13:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone!

I've had a break from blogging the last little while.

It's been quite involuntary, just had crazy much to do!

Between moving house, studio and working, it's all been good

but I'm quite happy to be back in the studio which is now just down stairs in my apartment.

Being pregnant it makes it easier to get to work each morning ; )

I wanted to give you guys a sneak preview of the new spring/summer Crosby catalogue.

Bill shoot it, I styled and our friend Jessie modeled.

I love these images, especially now when we are turning into winter mode with big jackets, scarfs and hats.

Can't wait for the new collection to come out this spring!!

Stockholm Fashion Week

2011-10-04T14:32:00.000-07:00

This magazine just arrived in the post today!
I made an illustration for one of their articles about all the swedish fashion brands,
the up and comings and the the already known big ones,
about how a little country like Sweden has become such a fashion force.
I'm proud to be a part of this issue!

Fashion Dolls

2011-09-07T06:37:00.000-07:00

I love vintage bakelite crib toys and came up with the idea to pair them with my favorite colors and patterns from this fall/winter collections.
There was so much fun to choose from, Céline's woodgrain pattern and orange coat to Prada's mondrianesque color blocks prints.
Show season is here in full roll and it's going to be exciting to see what new next!
Also just finished a shoot for Confezioni Crosby and saw the catalogue yesterday, it looks so nice.
Will be doing a post on that shortly!

Happy Socks Catalogue 4

2011-08-30T05:30:00.000-07:00

Here is some images of the latest Happy Socks catalogue Bill and I worked on.
This shoot was so much fun and I think it turned out really great, fresh and fun, just like the socks!
This last month I've been designing a collection of jewelry for the clothing label Pencey.
It's been a really cool to get to work on and I'm excited to show you how the pieces turned out.
..more of that later though..
And last but not least.. Hope all of you fared well in the storm.

Colorful Patterns

2011-07-26T08:33:00.000-07:00

I love patterns in all shapes and forms.
Textile, wall paper, wrapping paper, prints, you name it!
I've been meaning to start doing my own ones and I've been putting it off and putting it off.
Maybe because I wasn't really sure how to start, but you just start like everything else and it usually falls into place.
So here is the first few ones I've finished and lots more to come hopefully!
Funny, how the universe works, this month I've been asked to do a few patterns from designer friends.
I'm very excited to see the outcome!

Happy 4th of July!!

2011-07-01T06:55:00.000-07:00

Going off camping this weekend in Woodstock, I'm quite excited!
New York is really starting to heat up now, even with a bit of air condition my studio is getting really toasty,
I'm sweating away and taking lots of breaks with Sprout in the park.
Starting to work on some new drawings, I would love to have another show soon!
Again, the drawings are a bit book based and I'm dreaming of having a show in an old library,
or a house with peeling paint.
Thats always my problem with gallery space,
it has no character, it just a white box, it's a bit boring no?
Happy 4th everyone!
I hope you weekend will be filled with fun and fireworks!

Troop Lula

2011-06-20T07:59:00.000-07:00

I made an illustration for the new Lula Magazine just out.

Leith asked me to make up a Lula Troop uniform.

The magazine looks great and I'm proud to be part of this issue!!

Corn snakes & flowers

2011-06-06T04:51:00.000-07:00

I made this drawing ages ago
and the other day I finally received the much anticipated print from Anaick Moriceau!
The print looks so great!
I will soon put it up in my new online shop, it's under construction as we speak.
Hopefully I will have some other goodies like ceramic pieces and jewelry too,
so check back soon!

Agent Bauer

2011-05-11T10:37:00.000-07:00

I've just join the Swedish illustration agent Agent Bauer, it's very exciting and I hope good things will come of it!
They asked me to illustrate the invitation card for the summer party and this is how it turned out.
Hopefully I will be able to make it to the party cause they do throw a good one,
or at least pop by and say hi to the girls before I head to Marrakech.

Folki Holiday Collection

2011-05-06T04:20:00.000-07:00

Here is the new collection I've made for Anthropologie!
I was thinking of holidays on the beach, bleaches summer fabrics, palm trees and bright bright colors.
And tassels of course! I'm mad about them at the moment!
The kitties and Sprout help out modeling it for some treats and cuddles.
Will be in the Anthropolgie on Saturday making some simple tassel necklaces, so come on by!
10-12, at the Chelsea store in Chelsea Market.

Dossier/Dan Savage

2011-05-02T07:25:00.000-07:00

I'm getting excited, soon off to Morocco!
Can't wait!
Haven't been on a trip for ages and never been in Marrakech.
I'm expecting lots and lots of color, good food. sunshine and exploring.
Dossier just came out with a new issue and I made a portrait of Dan Savage and his husband Terry.
It turned out pretty good me thinks.

Love Letter

2011-04-19T07:36:00.000-07:00

I've been kind of m.i.a on my illustration site lately.
Two herniated disk, carpel tunnel and then tons of Folki work has just occupied my stratosphere.
The last blow came this weekend.
My landlord trying to repair my studio roof and didn't finish up the work.
This weekend it was a terrible storm and massive downpour in the Big Apple,
all my stuff got soaked, computer, sewing machine, fabrics and all!
So feeling a tad glum I received this book in the mail and it cheered me up some.
The book is from this show I was in the East of England in February.
The very talented Nicky Peacock gave peeps from all different walks of life the assignment to create a love letter.
Mine was a love letter to childlike imagination and creativity.
The innocent, unflawed source that makes us make things, think about things.
Where there is no argument and speculation about why and how and what for.
It simply is, simply like that and it's beautiful.

Folki hearts United Arrows

2011-03-29T05:17:00.000-07:00

So my first shipment of brooches just arrived in Tokyo.
It feels wierd to send them off with everything thats going on, slightly sacrilegious.
But life goes on and stores are open, trying to keep things normal in such awkward and sad time.
I was listening to the radio last night and they where talking about the new help for Japan compilation you can but on itunes.
And why something could never top "we are the World" that came out in 1985.
One caller said that people have been slightly dulled down because it has been so many disasters lately.
Tsunamis, earthquakes, wars and upheaval. It feels like it's the end of the world on a such days.
I can't even start to imagine how the japanese people feel.
Well, the brooches arrived with their cheerful color and happy flower patterns and will be sold at United Arrows men's department.
The idea was that you could use the brooch as a pocket square or a flower, to put a fun element on your suit jacket or everyday clothes.
I hope it will bring at least a little bit of sunshine on a gloomy day.

Pontus!

2011-03-08T07:23:00.000-08:00

A few weeks ago I did a job with Swedish ad agency Frankenstein for the lovely Stockholm restaurant Pontus!.
I painted some type and four portraits of authors they have in their library, can you guess who they are?
Dostojevski, Tove Jansson, Groucho Marx and Karin Bojje.
The client liked the more simple versions but I love the patterned backgrounds in the original drawings
and thought that I should show them here.
Hope you like them as much I do!

Confezioni Crosby

2011-03-04T07:55:00.000-08:00

Bill and I came together and worked with Confezioni Crosby, this new women's work wear label.
I love all the styles but my favorite was probably the dungarees and the vintage printed shirts.
All in all it was a great day, good people, nice pictures and sunny weather, I could get used to this sort of work!

FOLKI Spring/Summer

2011-02-22T05:51:00.000-08:00

Finally Folki Spring/Summer collection is done and not a day to late, spring is almost here!!
I'm super excited about it and really happy with the turn out.
You can find the new collection at selected Anthropologie stores.
In the making is also a exclusive line for United Arrows in Japan!!
But more about that later....
Hope you guys like the new stuff, next season I shall be making hats..
Oh! And there is more stuff on my website, if you want to check it out...

C

2011-02-16T08:58:00.000-08:00

Cakes, cakes, cakes!

I love how cakes look, probably more than they taste, I'm more of a cookie kind of woman.

But I did have an urge to paint a cake, so there we have it C is for Cake Decorator,

do you think you ever get tired of that job, making palaces out of marzipan?

B

2011-01-31T04:29:00.000-08:00

B for Balloonist!
I couldn't help myself, for all the good things you could do on B, I decided for a balloonist,
I love drawing ballons and I would love to have a ride in one one day,
it just seems like such an oddball way to travel, in a very romantic old timey way!

A

2011-01-12T06:22:00.000-08:00

I had an idea a little while ago about doing an artwork for each letter in the alphabet.
Don't really know yet if it will be just random words popping into my head or maybe something more specific,
like all the cool things you could do for work or hobby, like being an astronaut, that's a terrific hobby!!
So here it is... A for astronaut... hmm.. I wonder what I will do for B?? Balloonist, beekeeper....beast?

Libertarian Magazine

2011-01-06T07:49:00.000-08:00

Two posts in one week, not bad!
Libertarian Magazine asked me to make a few drawings inspired by the Miu Miu patterns of the SS collection 2010.
I was happy to oblige since they where some of my favorites of that season.
Bill just got me a new water color set so decided to make them a bit different than usual.
You can see the full story here.
Hope you are having a good first week back at work!

Your Life

2011-01-05T05:27:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year!!
Your Life is a swedish life style magazine that did an article on me in their last issue.
Sorry that it's all in swedish but the pictures are very colorful and nice.
I hope the new year will bring you fun new adventures and loads of good times.
I might be having a new exciting project coming up... will tell you guys more later..

Happy Holidays!!

2010-12-20T12:03:00.000-08:00

Christmas coming up soon and it seems like it will be full of work.

I'm making a new collection for Anthropologie, which is so exciting and fun!

Since Sprout is too small to travel Bill and I are staying in the city,

cuddle down in the sofa and watch lots of movies on our new giant flatscreen (not my idea but I must say it's pretty rad!).

Last week I finished the christmas animation I was working on for Workgroup and this is the result.

I made a lot of changes but I think the result turned out good.

I was thinking of doing some holiday illustrations and if I have time I will..

Have a pretty fun idea for it!

Book Covers

2010-11-24T07:45:00.000-08:00

Wow!
Time has gone so fast, I just realized it was a month since I last posted.
I've been working away in my studio on new artwork,
we moved house and got a puppy, so it's been a crazy but great time!
I'm just working on my second batch of textile jewelry for Anthropolgie
and I'm also starting to work on a new animation.
It's all very exciting and very busy before Christmas!
Bill and I are working on another Happy Socks catalogue and this time we are off to Texas.
So rummaging through flea markets for good finds.
I love books and good book covers just draws me in.
So wanted to have a go at that and also work on a more blocky solid style.
And last but not least,
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hope you have a good one!

Damernas Varld

2010-10-27T12:21:00.000-07:00

Hi there!

Just back from Sweden and Italy, had an amazing two weeks away!

This interview I did ages ago for the swedish magazine Damernas Varld just came out!

Mum was very proud of course, telling all the ladies at the super market

and showing off as we were buying it, it was pretty cute actually.

I've been so busy so haven't been updating as much as I would like.

Bill and I are moving to a new apartment on the first of November

and as soon as we settle in I'm hoping to do some new great paintings!

FOLKI

2010-10-06T15:00:00.000-07:00

So here it is, finally!

The capsule collection I made for Anthropologie!

Today I sent away the last bag and boy, does it feel good to be finished!!

I decided to call the collection Folki which means people in gypsy.

It's been many days and late nights working while listening to the radio.

I've been inspired by vibrant colors, Frida Kahlo, Natalie L'ete, patterns,

the sea, pom poms, fun interiors and shelters, India, tribes, nature and magic.

All in all I think the collection ended up having a fun and quirky quality!

To see more check out the collection on my website.

To buy it will be at Anthropologie's new accessories store in Washington, D.C.

but also online.

There will be a select few items in my shop too!

Happy Socks Catalogue

2010-09-22T11:37:00.000-07:00

Here is some pics of the Happy Socks catalogue Bill and I worked on.

LA in the spring was amazing!

We might be doing another one, hopefully, but more about that later...

I've been crazy busy trying to finish the capsule collection for Anthropologie.

It's been great fun but so much work!

My painting (and blogging) has definitely been lagging behind!

Bill and I took all the pictures of all the jewelry and bags this morning,

so will make a new post on that shortly!

Nylon Tv

2010-09-01T09:01:00.000-07:00

I just made a intro animation for Nylon Tv!

Here it is in an interview but if you want to see the bigger version check it here.

Was a bit worried that I would slow the blog down too much by putting such a big file on it.

Cleaning up our house today, you know that thing..

when you should be doing something else

and instead you end up doing a massive spring (eh.. late summer) clean,

well thats me!

I've just unscrewed my big drafting table and put it in our living room,

hopefully I'll be able to put it back together again..

Starburst

2010-08-17T07:52:00.000-07:00

This spring I got mighty lucky and worked with TBWA on Starburst.

Most of them was for the amusement park Six Flags,

so if you've been there this summer you probably seen these ads around.

I also got to do one for Times Sq!

Its went up a few weeks ago and Bill went over one night to grab some pics of it.

I must say I'm might proud to see it in the city of lights!

Barneys

2010-08-10T05:40:00.000-07:00

Barneys new web catalogue Denim Delight is finally out and I got two animations in it!!

It super exciting to make animations and so much fun to come up with a storyline and make everything tie together.

Mexico was amazing but now I'm back to work and for the big announcement... drum roll...

I'm working on a collaboration with Anthropologie making one of a kind jewelry and maybe totes

for their new accessories store opening in DC in October!!

Can't wait to show you all what I've been making!

Nylon Interview

2010-07-27T04:45:00.000-07:00

Have an interview in this months Nylon.

I think it turned out so great, I really like what Natalie wrote.

Made it a bit bigger if any of you guys want to check it out.

Off to Mexico tomorrow, will be on the beach in Tulum for my birthday!

Have a big announcement to make when I get back, something very fun and creative!

Have a great week!

xxf

Charity Auction

2010-07-20T06:48:00.000-07:00

The summer is going so fast!

Been making paintings as of late, will be in a group show in August in San Francisco.

My sister and her husband is here at the moment and it's so good to have them here.

Next week Bill and I are going to Mexico, to renew a visa but also for a bit of a honeymoon,

we never had one when we got married back in February so it's about time!

Mexico is one of my favorite places, the colors, folk art, dresses..

Oh, and of course day of the dead, I like the idea of celebrating the dead.

Remembering that this life is impermanent and try to enjoy the ride as much as we can!

I painted this computer for Lula a little while ago,

is for an charity auction that they are doing with Harvey Nichols.

I hope it will go for lots of money for a good cause!

Oh, by the way, did you see the Lula collection at Harvey Nichols?

It's pretty cute!

Bears

2010-07-08T05:42:00.000-07:00

This month I'm in the German family magazine Nido. It's super fab family magazine.

I wish it came out in english too so I could read all the articles!

The story I illustrated was written by Elke Heidenreich.

It's about all these bears that come to life when no one is looking.

All the bears have different hobbies, playing the piano, yodeling and tending to the garden.

Kimchi bear was a loner, he was found in a market in Korea.

He didn't get on with the other bears and in the end he moved in with the grumpy old neighbor Mrs Moormann.

Now they keep each other company and Mrs Moormann has suddenly become a nice old lady.

Sommar & Sol

2010-06-29T13:09:00.000-07:00

Hi again!

It's been a frightfully long time since the last post.

Much have been happening though, and a few things in the pipeline.

One of them is an interview with NYLON for their august issue, so keep your eyes peeled!

Also made two new little movies for Barneys, will post them soon.

And last but not least, been working on some more Starburst ads that will be up in Times Sq,

pretty excited for that!

First of July I will be moving into my new studio and start on a new body of work.

It's been great to have some time off to reflect and ponder but I'm so ready to get stuck back into it.

I' ve been surfing a lot and even though New York summers are great,

the most beautiful summer to me is in Sweden.

Where even on a hot summers day you might need a sweater for the evening.

Where you sit on the rocks by the sea all day, with picnic and friends.

Time slows down to a mosey relaxed state, reading, playing cards and eating fish.

Sleeping early and waking early, with the birds.

Where ever I am I will always miss my old motherland, the land that nurtured me.

That pale pearl of a sea that sometimes turns to darkest shade of slate.

These images are for her.

Fanny B in Canada!

2010-05-26T16:06:00.000-07:00

Spring things

2010-05-18T03:55:00.000-07:00

Spring is here and with summer peeking its sunny face around the corner

I thought it was time for a round up of my favorite accessories of the season!

Dolce & Gabbana patent leather leopard-print pump,

Stella McCartney wooden cage chain bag & Chanel Country handbag.

Miu Miu printed platform pump with crystal detail, Fendi tapestry Peekaboo bag,

Erickson Beamon white lies necklace & Louis Vuitton closed-toe mule.

Ralph Lauren Villa America bandanna sling bag

& Alexander Wang leopard print haircalf Alla wedge mule.

Dossier

2010-05-10T13:36:00.000-07:00

Just got back from Sweden today, had a great time jetting between family , friends and meetings.

Did an interview for a Swedish magazine called Damernas Varld, will stick it up when it's out!

Feel all fussy from the plane, curled up in bed reading John Irving with Siri next to me.

Do you think it's true, that it takes a while for your soul to travel the same distance that you do on the plane,

it almost feels like it, like your out of shape, literally!

Here is the portrait I made for this months Dossier, it's of the author Lydia Peelle,

full page, full bleed, I'm so happy!!

Stop Motion

2010-05-03T06:39:00.000-07:00

So here we go kids!

The stop motion film Nick, Nate, Alastair and I made for Barneys, it seems ages ago now,

is finally finished and up on Barneys website!

It turned out pretty great I think, will be fun to do another one soon.

Off to Sweden today, for a few interviews,

I will let you know about them later, dont want to jinx anything!

A bientot!

Beautiful Decay

2010-04-14T07:22:00.000-07:00

Yes!

The new Beautiful Decay magazine is out and I'm in it! It's super exciting!

The last couple of weeks I've been working on a job for Starburst,

which is awesome but haven't had much time to do my own stuff for the blog.

Waiting on a delivery of t-shirts today, so hold on tight, soon there will be some summer tee's in my online store!!

LA Doodles

2010-04-01T09:06:00.000-07:00

Just got back home from shooting in LA, I must say I love it over there, the desert is so beautiful!

I had a little bit of time to do some drawings, mainly between shoots and when I was keeping and eye on the bus.

I made a few fun props for Happy Socks as well.

A patterned christmas tree, some christmas decoration made out of socks and hand painted covers for school books.

Back home now, looking at a new green bike for spring, can't wait for it to be mine!

Angels & Demons

2010-03-17T05:37:00.000-07:00

I've got an illustration in the April issue of Elle Uk!

It's very exciting to see your artwork in print, I'm over the moon!

Off to LA on saturday.

Styling and making sets for a job Team G (Bill & I) are doing for the swedish sock company Happy Socks!

So the blog is suffering a little bit, sorry about that, I will be back in full force in a few weeks.

Ok, over and out, our dear friend Simon is coming around now for his fitting and there is clothes high and low over here that needs to get sorted out!

Clowning

2010-03-05T14:44:00.000-08:00

With spring almost around the corner, I'm starting to think about beautiful spring clothes, especially prints.

I'm infatuated with Miu Miu's prints this season, cats, dogs, birds, mushrooms, flowers and naked girls, they are right up my alley!

The late Alexander Mcqueen's prints are out of this world, they look like alien snake skins.

I just can't figure out how they made those prints!

I had an idea that it would be fun to take my favorite prints of the season and put them in a different environment,

hhmm.. why not on clowns?

Tomorrow I'm getting up bright and early to do a weekend course in illustrator at SVA.

I hope you have some fun things plan for the weekend too!

A little elephant named Pinky

2010-02-22T16:02:00.000-08:00

Lately I've been figuring out how to make my own gifs, thought it would be fun to make my illustrations shake and groove a bit.

I've also been into drawing elephants, making a pattern for my friend Matt's leather goods.

On another note, me and my now husband Bill got married last friday at City Hall!
It's been a jolly weekend, I hope yours was a good one too...

Belated Valentine

2010-02-16T15:21:00.000-08:00

My dear friend Leith asked me to do a little something for her magazine Lula's online scrapbook for Valentine's.

So here is how it turned out and since Valentine's day was a few days ago, I hope you had a good one!

I spent mine with my best friend Claire-bán, celebrating her 30th birthday.

I couldn't have wished for a better night!

Life in a Bell Jar

2010-02-09T12:14:00.000-08:00

Life in the bell jar has stopped, birds in the middle of flight, a butterfly resting on a flower, always in bloom.

There is an eerie feeling in those little glass bubbles but also something quite magical and beautiful about them too..

Sometimes I wonder how old these birds are, where they been and seen before they ended up there, perching on a branch, stuck in time.

(All wallpapers are by William Morris.)

A long time ago, in a place far far away...

2010-01-29T18:38:00.000-08:00

Still working on the stop motion project, will be filming next week!

These paintings are from the first year I started showing artwork in New York.

It was all terribly exciting to be in my first group show "Other Worlds" at 31 Grand in Brooklyn, in June 2006.

All the paintings where inspired by places far far away, magical spots, where anything could happen......

Gallery Hanahou

2010-01-20T07:32:00.000-08:00

Im in a show, opening this Thursday, 21 of January at Gallery Hanahou.
For the show the gallery asked the artists to envision the new decade.
While I was making this drawing I was listening to the BBC Radio broadcasting from Copenhagen Climate Conference,

so my drawing ended up being about that, a hope for a greener 2010.

Also 20% of the proceeds goes to help the disaster relief efforts in Haiti.

Hope to see you there, the more the merrier!

Something new, something old..

2010-01-07T17:38:00.000-08:00

It's a new year and I will start off 2010 with something from my old illustration archive.

Working like crazy on a stop motion film Im doing in a few weeks, drawing lots and lots of flowers and making textile dolls.

Made this couture story for Lula quite a while ago, it was great to draw all the crazy couture clothes.
