I’m getting ready to send out the Spring Edition of Club Marmalade Moon. This limited edition desktop wallpaper inspired by the seaside is the club special of the season.
The club special wallpaper includes versions for fullscreen and widescreen computers as well as the iPhone and iPad. I’m so excited to release my first wallpaper for the iPad!
And yes, thanks to my friends and colleagues at the Iconfactory, I’ve got an iPad, although it’s not available been released in Sweden yet! So now I’ve been able to write a tutorial for how you change the wallpaper on your iPad! Because naturally, that’s the first thing you want to do when you get a new device!
Seaside wallpaper is inspired by the promise of summer, the beach, the sea and a Technicolor inspired palette and it accompanies a new series of Vintage Folder Icons. Grainy, retro, minimalist, robust with a nostalgic twist.
So keep your eyes peeled for new desktop art!

Magnolia
I’m reinventing my digital life. Again. It always seems to creep up on me, the increasing time I spend in my digital environment. The number of web sites on my RSS-feed and the jumble of e-mail in my inbox. Time with social media.
Today I saw a hedgehog outside the studio and took this photo of magnolia with my iPhone. And as I write this blog post, the evening breeze touches me with the scents of spring. This elusive time of year when each day the leaves on the trees open more. Shades of green, from lime to deep green. Blossoms…
It’s time to do some pruning and tiding up. Both in my balcony garden and in my digital life. The stream of information has become a flood. I need to take a step back to find some peace and quiet and to enjoy the summer. It’s time to spend more time out of doors than in my digital life.
This summer you’ll see less of me on Twitter and Facebook. I won’t be spending so much time visiting and commenting on blogs.
However, I’ll still be blogging regularly and Marmalade Moon will be updated each Tuesday, with an additional post later in the week if I have any extra news. I’ll soon be sending out the Spring Edition of Club Marmalade Moon and I’m putting the finishing touches to some desktop art soon to be released. So there’ll be lots going on. But I’ll also be making space for having some magnolia moments.
What are your plans for your digital life this summer? Will you be taking a vacation from your desktop environment or will it be a time when you perhaps enjoy spending a little more time on your computer projects?

Gold mosaics from the Golden Hall in Stadshuset
- I’ve been a rock musician and singer. I wrote the lyrics and musics for my bands and my vintage electric Gibson Les Paul Junior guitar from 1962 is still one of my dearest possessions.
- I’ve lived in Florida, USA, for six months.
- I’ve worked at the radio drama and documentary department at the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation. I had a wide range of work including making illustrations and posters, designing the programme, translating plays and documentaries, designing the web site, reading plays for consideration and making a documentary about Sufism together with Timo Sundberg. In my spare time I devoted myself to making and performing rock music and creating sculptures & paintings.
- I enjoy travelling and I’ve visited 20 countries.
- An oak tree grows outside my windows. I take photos of it (almost) every day.
- I’m frightfully impatient for Apple’s new revolutionary device, the iPad, to be available in Sweden!
- I love tiles and mosaics. In my collection there are tiles and mosaics from Italy, Portugal and Spain. One tile tragically broke, sliding off the luggage trolley at an airport in slow motion. Still sadly missed. The mosaics in these photos are from the Golden Hall in Stadshuset, the Stockholm City Hall, where the Nobel Laureates and guests dance after the annual awards banquet. Imagine a hall completely covered with these gold mosaics – candlelit!
