Full Moleskine Art Sketchbook
I have officially finished another Art Journal on my list (it was on my list of multiple art journals at the same time – from two years ago). Yes, sometimes it takes a long time to reach the end – that doesn’t mean you should give up (if you don’t want to of course). I […]
Try Magic Tape
I made a quick tips video about my favorite tape, because I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it before to you guys?

Dear Photo Diary, I have been making videos at my desk, for my YouTube channel, but I have not been taking a lot of photos. It’s just been that kind of year I guess. Who else feels that it’s been a bad year for photography? I think it’s time to restart the habit of taking […]
One hundred DIY Postcards bound for Sweden
