My friends from Kitchen On The Run have started an amazing project! I’m proud and grateful to have been a tiny part in it, even if it was only from my drawing desk, creating a logo, a key visual and more illustrated stuff for them. From march til august they travelled europe and hosted many dinners, picknicks and cooking sessions in their container. Made friends with refugees and locals and created a starting point for communication, cooking, eating and drinking together and building new networks. A very important mission. And its not over!

Check out their more frequently updated Facebook Kitchen On The Run.

Today and tomorrow the container is in Bellevue in Berlin, to be a part of the summer party of Germanys Federal President Joachim Gauck. If you’re in Berlin, you should go. More about the Bürgerfest can be found here.

And I’m happy to announce, that my illustration for Kitchen On The Run, that can be seen on tote bags, posters, postcards and flyers is featured as a runners-up in the section illustration professional by Creative Quarterly. Yay!

Jämtland 2016 by Amelie Persson

Here comes a little sneak peak of the summer in Jämtland - the south of north sweden (its a very long country) - where my fathers family is from. I spent a precious week there, which went by like nothing. The crisp mornings in mid-august are already quite cold (which makes the flowers last longer), but the nights are still pretty light compared to London. I enjoyed time with my loved ones and now endulge in the pictures that I took. Two of the above are from the decoration of the romantic country wedding of my cousin, the white bouquet is from my mom. I love how she mixes old and new and decorates the stuga where I sleep with odd and beautiful pieces like the tiger pillow.

Stay tuned for some delicious “elva kaffe”-documentation the next couple of days!

Limited screenprinted teatowel “Frankfurt am Main” - available via mail / onlineshop soon - produced in Frankfurt. The illustration shows the for Frankfurt characteristic “Trinkhalle”, a tiny little booth where you can buy icecream, candy (by the piece!), newspapers, tobacco and booze. Back in the days the little huts that used to be all over the city sold fizzy water, thats why they were called “Wasserhäuschen”. In the background you can see the “Ginnheimer Spargel”. Hardly anyone calls the 337.5 meter high telecommunication tower for “tower of Europe” (Europaturm), it goes by its nickname “asparagus of Ginnheim” (the part of Frankfurt where it is located). The vines around the motif are inspired by the typical blue paiting on local pottery like the round-shaped “Bembel”. In traditional restaurants you’ll get cold applewine (which slightly tastes like dry cider) called “Äppler” or “Äppelwoi” served in these.

That was a little local history lesson about the lovely city Frankfurt am Main. Most people don’t fall in love with it at first sight. But as soon as they get to know the place, it often is a life-long love.
