It’s a honor to be interviewed in such a great book like this. The book has tons of interviews and designs around the world. It also features some top level designers like Aaron Draplin and Taro Tamai. Plus my favorite Austrian artists and friends Andy and Tom Lohner.

T-shirt exhibition in Madrid

This post comes a bit late. Dias Nordicos festival in Madrid (Spain) had a special Scandinavian t-shirt design exhibition. The exhibition started in 30th September and ended 19th October. Me and Freeman were representing Finland, most of the other designers were from Sweden. The exhibition featured t-shirts I made for Altamont, éS, 686, Riv, Astars etc. Oldest t’s were done about 10 years ago, but there was also some fresh designs that will be out in 2102.

More photos from the exhibition.

MoMA will show Finnish documentary films and Teemu Nikki’s Play God (2010) is one of the movies having its US premiere there. I made the original Play God -logo (about 10 years ago) which was also used in the documentary film. My designs probably will never get this close to MoMA’s walls again.

Here’s the Play God poster:

And here’s the fight scene from the original movie:

102 Riding days

I’m extremely happy that I managed to get 102 riding days in this winter. Season’s last trip to Northern Finland was fun with good parks, nice people and great weather (most of the time).

Here’s my method in Saariselkä. That day the lifts were closed because it was pouring rain in the morning, but in the afternoon the weather was perfect. They didn’t open the lifts in the whole day but that didn’t stop me to have some fun.

Btw thanks to all who supported me: Vans boots, 686 clothing, Union Bindings, Capita boards and Talma. You rule!
