When I was in Sweden last year, a lovely guy called Chrille told me about a book he was working on. It was to be a collection of experiences, emotions and personal accounts from creative people with backgrounds in various sports. It sounded great and I was very honoured that he asked me to contribute to it and hopefully I did the project justice. It has just been printed and on receiving a copy it looks incredible, a true work of art, I know that Mattias Fredriksson's photography certainly helped make my part look fabulous.
There's all sorts of pieces in there from Skiers, Snowboarders and other dwellers of the Scandinavian mountains. A lot of it is in Swedish but I will try to get my english text up somewhere soon.
A lovely touch, is that every contributor picked their top ten favourite songs, a very hard task and one that I still feel I'd like to add to. Hjärta for those that don't speak Swedish, like myself, means Heart and I know that Chrille put a lot of his heart into this and it shows. There's no corporate agenda, no desire to make money or make oneself appear to be something that they're not. This is a book all about peoples love for what they do and it really does make everything seem worthwhile when a great project like this becomes a reality.
Hi Richard,
I was looking for images of this book...
I'm a designer of the font which is used for texts in this book, and I'm making my portfolio now, so I would like to put a published example. But I still haven't have a copy, so I would like to ask you if I can use these pictures for my portfolio... Also if you have ones with better resolution, could you send me them?? Because the text parts are not so clear in those pictures... Sorry for asking here, I couldn't find your contact..
Thank you!
