Hi folks! I just wanted to share the news that one of our dear friend Andreas' beautiful images is now being sold worldwide at an IKEA near you!

Please join me in congratulating him and wishing him much continued success with his beautiful  photography.

( Now we can all say, 'I knew him when...'.  )  ;^)

Go Andreas! :thumbupboth:

Whoohoo :thumbupboth: this alone has made my day! Way to go Andreas. Keep up the great work. This is only the beginning. And for only 79 Kracken (err, I mean Krona). I wish I could buy it. Get ready for all the corporate phone calls (ad agencies, businesses, etc) wanting to hire you.

Question the question. Answer the question. Question the answer...

I wish I knew what I was gonna say :oP

There's an IKEA store right in my town... I'll have to take a look now ;o))

I always knew you'd go places Andreas...just never thought it would be IKEA! ;'P Seriously, congrats, that is SUPER news. I am pissed thought that you didn't send me a brag email. How much is 79,00 K in american dollars?

Zacko ( ) posted Fri, 12 October 2007 at 5:07 PM

LOL. Thank you all so much....but really...it´s no big deal. It´s just a poster. 😄 I´m a bit bummed about that actually. My agent told me it would be framed and ready to hang...but nooooo. Pffffffffffffffft! :tongue1: A silly poster that costs approximatly $13 if my calculations are correct. Yeesh...that dollar of yours sure aint worth much is it? I soooo gotta go shop on e-bay now i think. :biggrin: So that is why i didn´t send you a "brag email" (lol)  Kort. It´s not in my nature to "brag"....especially not about things i consider to be no big deals such as this one. 😉 Heck, I haven´t even told my family these news. Ya think i should? :mellow:

Even so...thank you all for the congratulations. I´m really happy you´re excited for me. 😄

Thank you two as well by the way. 😄 Although....Kim...i´m fairly sure it spells Louvre....but hey....i could be wrong as well. I´m just a 100% sure your spelling is wrong. :biggrin: LOL. Then again...maybe someone should spellcheck my english as well. Ever since i stopped commenting here it´s like i lost my second language. :sad:

Well, maybe consider commenting again... if only for your own good in terms of english retention 😉 I suppose there are more important things in life for you at the moment tho.

Congrats btw. Good to see you are making it in the world of photography... an "agent" no less! I'll have to keep an eye out for it if i am ever in ikea... which isnt very often actually 😊 but i'm sure i'll recognise it.

Zacko ( ) posted Fri, 12 October 2007 at 7:20 PM

Yeah i hear ya Rich. I try to stay clear from IKEA too. LOL. Thanks btw. 😄

And awww...aren´t you a sweetheart Akemi. I have no idea what "Omedato Otosan" means but i´m sure it´s quite flattering. :biggrin: I did google for it....with no luck. It actually suggested "Omedeto Otosan" instead....not that it made much difference....i just got some links in languages i certainly don´t master....and this time i don´t mean english. :tongue2:

Zacko ( ) posted Sat, 13 October 2007 at 3:58 PM

LOL! Motif...isn´t the name of it silly. Isn´t that an english word? The swedish word would be "Motiv"...and it basically means "Subject" or "Picture". Anyway...if you check out all the posters it says "Motif" beneath them all.. :tongue1: I think they named mine "Perfect Peace" or something like that. I figured that if i can´t come up with a decent title for my uploads here, i´m certainly not gonna try to come up with a name for a poster either...so they got to decide. 😄

Motif...motiv...heck, even 'photograph'  would be better than the name, Ugglarp, lol.

I'm sorry, I just think that name sounds funny.

But thanks for clarifying that for me. ;^)

PS I saw one named Kort, too.  :^D

LOL. I suppose they´re all swedish words in which case i think "Ugglarp" is a place in sweden....while "Kort" means "Photo"....how convinient isn´t it Kort? On the other hand it could also mean "short".....interpretate as you wish. :laugh:

Why I am I not surprised?  I told you awhile back that one day I will say "I knew you when....".  I think we all secretly want our stuff in stores one day, your just doing it now!  Although you might not care for how it was handled, the fact that it's in a well connected store is a big deal.  Congrats buddy, I'm sure many more are soon to follow....I'll be looking for this bad boy!
