Ice Cream
Yesterday, 23 of Iceland's most interesting designers... plus yours truly... presented to a packed house Rjómi (cream) at the Reykjavik Art Museum
Listasafn Reykjavíkur (The Reykjavik Art Museum)
Most performances were action packed and exciting with these personal favs:
Up and coming graphic designer Siggi Eggertsson flashing his illustration work, using patterns and colorful grids to construct images before sharing a documentary on a day (before) of his life.
Siggi Eggertsson: Zoot Woman
Sól Hrafnsdóttir is another new graphic talent that draws line drawing of absurd situations. If you need to know how to put your guinea pig into best use, she's got it all figured out.
Sól Hrafnsdóttir: Man & guinea pig
Acclaimed modernist furniture designer Gunnar Magnússon with some gems from the past.
Katrín Pétursdóttir Young and her complex illustration world of comic horrors.
I'm always amazed how a population of 300.000 on a windy island can even survive, let alone thrive and have a progressive culture to share the 7 billion neighbors of ours.
I'm looking forward to next yeat. We're all going to Rjómi 2007 in Reykjavík.

Nice! I think they thrive because that it's so windy and there's nothing else to do.
I liked your presentation. It was a little bit more defined and prepaired than the one you had in Háskólabíó 8 or 9 years ago. :)
Can I have your autograph?
For reals I couldn't understand your talk. However, that looked dope for sure.
Do you think you'll get Kenny to Iceland? Either way, let me know when it is. I may have to hop over from Wien and T up w/y'all for some 'black death' and whatnot. Also: get Mason Poe to go and we'll kill him.
