sweden

I was talking about our favorite jazz singers and bands
with an old friend lately after the last gig, when we
suddenly noticed, many of them come from the Northern
part of Europe. Koop is a group from Sweden that I
really, really love (you might have seen on the right
bar, I've been listening to their music again this week).

This morning I was 'googling' for typography for my
felt work (which I could hopefully show you soon ;)),
when I stumbled upon the work of Thomas Broomé,
also from Sweden. I love esp. his Modern Mantra
series, not only because I love typography in general,
but because I've always been exploring the use of
typography in pictures.

Two doodles I made at work last Monday.

On Etsy, of course, there are also sellers from Sweden.
I looked up only for Stockholm, but there could/must
be more. Some of my fave list...
