Tarinakone logo


As the lamb image I designed for Anne's company Tarinakone suddenly proved to be quite good "trademark" itself, Anne decided to renew her logo to fit to it. The logo is now based on both the old design of the word Tarinakone ("Story machine"), with the letters a-n-n-e highlighted, and one of the lambs.

At the same time these designs went into use as her Moo minicards.

The Sketchbook Project



As I seem to live a very computerized life, I deciced to take part to the Sketchbook Project organized by Art House Co-op. The project collected over 28 000 sketchbooks so I was glad that somebody picked just my book at the opening - what are the odds?!

This was totally art therapy project for me, with no higher aims, but since I illustrated and wrote the whole story about A Little Witch Who Knits, I got more and more inspired. I'm waiting for the scanned view of the book - so I can get proper views from it too. Images on this posting are all from "in making" stage.

Pehtoorska blog



"Pehtoorska" aka Anne Kojola contacted me last autumn and we discussed about her website. Pehtoorska is a one woman company, and mostly from hobby base. Anne takes photos of people, nature, events and phenomenons, and she sells her photos and the postcards made from them. After a discussion of her needs and future use and budget, we came to conclusion that maybe the blog would be the best for her purposes. Blogger seemed to be most easiest way to blog, so we chose that. Anne chose the background from free Blogger backgrounds, I designed the header, tweeked the html a bit and made the blog settings for her.
