"Skogen"

inspiration: erika long

I am currently loving this little yoyo flower hair pin made by Erika Long of Heartfelt Seattle. Simple and sweet, it works well by itself or you can pin it to a hat for a cute embellishment!

As soon as she gets her etsy shop up-and-running, I'll be sure to post a link!

"In the Woods"

morr & merge

A bit of music news today: Telekinesis, who I directed a video for, have just released their record in Europe and the UK on Morr Music! Very exciting, and you can get it on CD or vinyl here. The vinyl is super pretty.




Also, the wonderful Merge Records just threw their 20th birthday bash (music festival XX Merge) a few weeks ago, and I was lucky enough to be there for it. I wrote about it for the Merge blog, which you can read here.

photo update

I've uploaded new photos to four of the galleries: travel, music, people, and products.

Inspiration today: the super-dreamy and painfully beautiful Icelandic quartet Amiina shot by Vincent Moon for his concerts à emporter series.

colors & numbers

Hungarian's got a reputation for being one of the hardest languages for English speakers to learn. For pretty good reason. I made these when I couldn't keep my colors and numbers straight...

j'aime l'amour à trois

Sometimes, you've just got to put down the arts & crafts, and sing and dance instead.


Pictured above: Paper Tiger singing une chanson d'amour avec Stereo Total at Cat's Cradle earlier this month. Grand merci à Rachel Demy pour ce photo !

Also, new art is imminent! Just not ready yet...

dreaming of tokyo

Exciting news today at Paper Tiger HQ! Some of you reading may remember a music video I made last summer with Telekinesis for a song called "Tokyo". Well, I have re-cut the video to the album version of the track, and I am happy to say that today it makes its internet debut!



You can watch it here on Pitchfork, or on my film page. The song is off of Telekinesis!, due April 7th on Merge Records.

new illo, photos revamped

Hello! Two orders of business today:

1: The photo section of this site was in dire need of updates, and I have just finished a complete and total overhaul. If you click on that little link to the left that says "photo" you will find quite a few new photos and a new category system for easy browsing. Some of the categories are a little large (*cough travel cough*) but I tried to streamline as much as possible to avoid unnecessary viewer bombardment by photos.

2: I've uploaded a new illustration, as well, now viewable in the illo gallery.

new composite

I added a new piece to the composite gallery, called "Holdtölte".
