Year 2009.

January

The year of 2009 started out with an awesome New Year's Eve at Hypermansion. That's when that little black table burned down, my friend missed his flight to Israel and loads of crazy things happened.

I got convinced to follow my pals to Västerås. Got introduced to a bunch of great people there and discovered that the town wasn't that bad after all.

January was pretty cold otherwise, I hung out with my "tapir" brothers and made all kinds of crazy shit.

February

This is when "Swagger lounge" got established. The high season of "all-nighters" and pulling nice projects besides school. Great times.

Loads of hanging out at the office of Hyper Island, long days and even longer nights. Fred's reppin' me.

Crazy shot for the intro in my showreel. Who knew where that little piece of motion graphics could take me?

March

The introduction of home-made ping pong at Hyper Island.

Shooting for our class promotion site (53colors.com) with Anders & Ina.

Hours and hours of ping pong playing led to Official Hyper Island Ping Pong Open.

April

Thought I met the love of my life what a couple of month later turned out to crash my heart in bits and pieces.

Work work work. Ditching school and getting some more work done.

May

Collective dancing "..with Leroy" at Hyper Island.

Took an awesome trip to Oslo, Norway with the boys. Crazy adventures.

Spring, soon to be summer and sun, quality time in the park with classmates and bro's before Peter's live gig.

June

Last days before vacation. Nothing but dance and partying.

Weird circumstances took me to the city of Örebro for a couple of days, realized that I'm not going back there for a while if ever.

Moved back to mom & dad after living at friends' places.

July

Had a blast working at Futurniture's office through mr.Lauding with the guys that night.

I even managed to score the beach a whole bunch of times.

And really got to spend some quality time with Sean (You are great). Here is spontaneous canvas painting session. (Is that someone sitting there besides you, Sean? Can't remeber.)

August

Greg: "It's summer, we should just go somewhere", Sean: "Let's go to London next week". So we did. Hooked up with Sam, got to know Abby, the times were just great.

Followed my parents to Gotland right after the London trip. And that was just as much "fun" as you can see in the photo.

When I got back from Gotland, my awesome friends threw me a birthday party. Thanks for the presents and for the lovely night.

September

Summer is over. Got this thing e-mailed from my mom, thought it was just great lines of text.

The weather still allowed some classic flip sessions at the tennis court with Björn and Andreas.

And more work and all-nighters.

October

Saw these two guys taking their idea from just simple words to twitter and then to real life clubbing project. Great job dudes, I am proud.

Final project. Working with this lovely group of people. Wish we could work more together.

I got my internship a while ago, but the visa application process just f*cked with my mind bigtime. I guess that's how many of my classmates felt.

November

We managed to squeeze in one last project. Hours and hours of photography, photoshop and lies. That project made me come even more close with my best friends and colleagues and unfortunately realize that some friends will just be friends and not co-workers. Such a pity that I missed my own presentation of that case.

Hey, look who made it to New York! Standing there all proud in Central Park.

I moved in into a loft/studio in Brooklyn with these three gentlemen. Feels great to live with some of my idols. Really if you only knew.

December

Got settled as a designer intern at Domani Studios, really nice company and great co-workers. I look forward to spend a lot of time here.

Got the most awesome visit from Sweden. Andreas "Tapir" himself, wow what a blast it was. Now that's someone who gets me. Loads of love.

That's pretty much it. Short recap of a pretty intensive year. I feel like I got a couple of years older in just a few months.

Thanks for everything.
