There is something about Scandinavia. I see serious creative flows in many different areas, music, film, fashion, new media… It feels like European (because it is), but edgier and a bit darker.

COOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Music of Precision and Perfection!!! Did u notice? The studio camera peeking through the audience’ camera. Blended lines of UGC and professional shots. It’s sooo late 2000s. Reminds me of my old days, going to independent bands’ performances, hopping over underground cubs here in NYC. Key Word here: SCANDINAVIA!

Avatar! Nope. It’s not James Cameron’s movie “Avatar.” It’s just me. Disappointed? It looks a bit scary, but I kinda like the purple hair and purple eyebrows. I wish I could have my own avatar who can talk and act and do some work for me… Too much to do. But it’s fun to daydream [...]
