I`ve been back in Norway for some time now.. I don`t now.. mabye one week?!?
And i sort of allready miss SE Asia and my beloved Minsk..
I guess you always will, to some degree miss what you don`t have so the important thing is to love what you do have AND miss what you don`t have..

I have now finished my lovley book which i have been reading the last weeks and i will recomend it to everyone!!
The book is called Shantaram and it`s basicly about this heroin addict who escapes from a maximum security prison in australia where he is serving time for a bunch of armed robberies.
He manages to get himself to Mumbai, India on a false New Zeeland passport and the adventure starts. In the eight or more years he lives there he basicly experiences everything.. he lives in the slums, he works as a doctor, he joins the mafia, he fights in afghanistan etc..
Read It!

It`s cold back here in Oslo, but i kind of like it.
It seems to be snowing about every other day and the teperature is between -5 and -15 degrees celcius.

I have finally started on my school application at Werterdals school of comunication where i`m applying for at spot in Art Direction.
For those of you who are unsure of what Art Direction is, this is a copy/paste from the schools website:

When you work as an Art Director you get involved in areas like generating ideas, visual design and project management for film, commercials and magazines.

An Art Director is in many ways a visual director. During the education programme you will create your own visual expression through animation, photography, illustration and film. Then you carry on to work with advertising and other communication assignments, and to develop ideas and visual storytelling for the web, television, magazines and newspapers. In all disciplines you will be working in both digital and analogue styles.

The education programme is three years’ study. You will often team up with others and be responsible for generating ideas and the development of concepts. You’ll learn important direction and production responsibilities in order to master the visual design and carry ideas through. The programme is for those who want a broad background for working with visual communication in many areas

This is the task:
1. Show us nothing. Tell, Draw, Glue, Construct, Design and/or show photos or film.

And Choose 3 of the following:
1. Show us the year you remember most between 6 and 16. Analogue or Digital
2. Do something you have never done before. Visualize
3. What should we trust? Create a photo story, maximum 10 images/30 Minutes of film.
4. Many animals extinct, create a new animal and show us how it lives. Use free tecnique.
5. Create an eitght-page book specifically for the person sitting at the checkout couter in your local store.
6. Create a communication solution that gets people to take things more lightly.

It feel good to finally get started, it`s a really good, fun and challenging task.
