It's been a while and finally I made a few iPhone (3&4) pouches, they are listed in the shop - welcome!

Update: SOLD OUT. I promise to make a few more within a few weeks. Thank you!

Go West on a Saturday

Sandra, where is that coffee place in Charlottenburg that you've been talking about? At Uhlandstrasse. OK, let's go there!

Bumped into friends in Schöneberg and had coffee at the Double Eye.


And lunch at the Winterfeldtplatz market.

Exhibition in Gothenburg

Right now my illustration prints are exhibited (and for sale) at Rum för papper in Gothenburg, Sweden. The exhibition runs until October 6. The store doesn't only have amazing products, the interior is amazingly beautiful.

2 top pictures are taken by the staff at Rum för papper.
2 bottom pictures are taken by my friend Pär Eriksson.
Thank you so much for letting me show them on my blog since I wasn't able to be there in person!

My article in The Simple Things

There is a new magazine out in the UK - The Simple Things. In the first issue I did a 2 spread article/interview about Berlin and here it is in print, such a good collaboration.

Sandra's Guide to: Gothenburg

It's time to put together a small guide over Gothenburg (Sweden), where I lived for 12 years before moving to Berlin. I haven't been back there since I moved almost 2 years ago so I can't guarantee that everything is as good as it was back then, but these are some of the places I enjoyed while living there.
