LAUNCH OF TRØYSTEBOKA

FINALLY!!!

The book is now in the stores! The launch on Wednesday was brilliant, ended up as a party we hadn’t planned and it feels like I’m still hungover.

Some of the authors came to the event, Helga Gunerius Eriksen read her story for the book, and I spoke a little about the process.


I’ve made prints from the book as well, nice offset ones I’ve never made prints of my work before, I clung to the fact that I only wanted there to be ONE of each thing I made. The original work. But hey, that doesn’t feed you.


So the fabric I ordered from Spoonflower my mum turned into baby bedsheets and we have already recieved many pre-orders!


Me talking about how I worked with illustrations for the book. The two people sitting in the middle of the picture is Helga Gunerius Eriksen and Einar Økland who both have contributed to the book.

We figured later that about 40 or 50 people came and went during the event. People didn’t seem to want to leave! I loved it, because normally in book launches you go and get some free wine and hang around for maybe two hours. The last ones left at 02.30


We ate, we drank, we laughed  And ran out of wine, so all secret deposits were robbed. Including two bottles of peach liqour, even if you know that’s not going to be ok in the morning.


In lack of a wine opener we had to use a drill.

Thanks to everyone that came along and made it such a brilliant evening! YAY!!
