OUR SHRINE:
My focus was
1) bearded men,
2) my home country of Æsland (Iceland..)
3) Soviet Posters // old cards
Devendra Banhart, one of my favourite musicians (& he has a beard..)
members of Akron/Family, it is not so much about their beards that I like them, more their music...
These are two members of Port O Brien, Zeb and Josh who are lovely bearded men

Going to a Port O Brien gig this week, very excited to see the lovelies again. Both them and Aron/Family just have so much energy on stage, I love how they interact with the audience and it feels like you are part of something (not like a cult or anything like that, just..) something fun and truly exciting that one night you do see them on that magical stage in front of you. If I had the money and extra time, I would spend as much time as possible going to gigs.
(as cliché and patriotic as it may sound) I love Iceland and everything about it; the nature, people, buildings & isolation
My second home, in many ways is Moscow and from living there I discovered a passion for Soviet posters (or copies of them) sold at the Ismaylova tourist market the family would go to most weekends (admittedly the main reason we went was to buy dvds) The thing is, by the entrance of the market everything would feel so commercial and expensive but once one reaches the far end of the market is where all the gems are... old postcards, christmas cards, Lenin and Stalin cards, all having clearly belonged to other people beforehand.
I spent my time shuffling through piles of cards there, picking out my favourites to buy. Just by writing about this makes me want to be situated in the Moscow winter, feeling those semi-dirty and old cards in my freezing hands, aaaaaah.
I need to scan some of my posters and cards in, this one above is included in my collection, I just love the man´s face in this one. These will be posted as soon as possible!
Au revoir.
