Christmas is filled with cliché’s, specially Christmas cards, as well as most Christmas ads. Still, the following prints use some of those cliché’s (Christmas tree’s, snowflakes, etc), but they do stand out.

Notes
Merry capitalismas
So I red this article about a Christmas tree, costing 11 million dollar, being unveiled in a hotel in Abu Dhabi. If you didn’t know yet, Abu Dhabi, part of the United Arab Emirates, isn’t concidered a Christian country. 74% of it’s population is muslim. In fact, Abu Dhabi even banned Blackberry phones for “potentially […]
On random
I don’t think random exists. Everything happens for a reason. Even the position of where a raindrop lands is explainable. When you trow the dice, it’s possible to explain why it stopped at 3. The notion of randomness violates the scientific method, and in reality, it does not occur anywhere in the known universe. Think […]

Small amounts of money hold power as well. See your money as a vote. Elections are constantly ungoing and never […]
The kingdom inside my head
Once upon a time Once upon a time, there was a kingdom inside my mind; full of castles, taverns and farms – mills, blacksmiths, stables and shops. There where forest filled with trees, fields of grass and gardens filled with flowers – all separated by twisty footpaths, and swift streams.
