Introduction:

"This blog is not necessarily for lovers of art, it includes a variety of topics and whatever. I'm a painter who likes to know what's really going on in the world today. So you might find anything from Shamrocks to Salmiakki mentioned here on my blog. There will of course be some boring, factual and informational posts, but I'll keep them to a minimum, I promise!

And I might get a bit nostalgic now and then.

So you have been warned!"

Going to California!



Thanks for dropping by my blog! Nice to have you here again.


There's not much happening around here these days. It's all family occasions and football matches, all happy days of course! ..... even if the mosquitoes are annoying the hell out of me!

I'm also happy about a recent art sale I made. This painting here below called 'Two Black Cats' is leaving home! A sale is a sale as they say, money in the pocket, so one must be happy! YaaBaaDabaDoo indeed!!

I was a little sad today however as I had to post this little painting off to an art collector in the U.S.A.
It's a painting that I have liked having in my studio and I have always enjoyed watching and listening to reactions from people who come to see it. The Finnish people seem to appreciate it's simplistic and positive message, and more importantly, it appeals to the young and old. It has also been one of my most popular paintings for prints both here in Finland and abroad. Especially so in the United States with print sales in Manhattan Kansas, Austin Texas, and Maspeth New York amongst others. And now the original painting is finally on it's way to San Diego California. I want to thank all of those who purchased prints and a special thanks to the nice lady in California who will receive 'Two Black Cats' in the post shortly. I hope they serve you well! This song is for you and my black cats....

Never Too Old!!



For some reason this little t-shirt design I made called 'Never Too Old!' seems to be getting noticed lately.
I have it on sale with the popular art website Redbubble, where I have sold three t-shirts in the last four weeks.
While most of the cost paid by the purchaser goes to Redbubble, I do get a small commission for my design. It is also a good feeling when someone picks 'your' design from a site full of thousands of other top notch t-shirt designs.




Is it the attraction of such an iconic image or my adaptation of it, I can't be sure? Maybe it's the message on the t-shirt? Only the customer knows I suppose. I have a few more ideas for future t-shirts based on this design which I think a few people might like. Check this link for new designs.
Many thanks to those of you who liked my design and bought the t-shirt. I'm very grateful!


Thanks for reading my blog and please share!
