However, thanks to technology, ideas and inspiration can be widely spread within seconds. I am thankful for having a lot of inspiring people around me, people that I truly admire. The person featured in today’s post is someone that I have early memories of from a young age, as someone who could create interesting and challenging art from what at first glance looked like nothing. She is part of the creative duo of <a href="http://ingelaochvi.com">Ingela och vi</a> and the brainiac behind illustrated by Em. Here, more than ever, is Einstein’s quote on its place:</p> <p><em>“Creativity is intelligence having fun.”</em></p> <p></p> <p><strong>What kind of education do you have?</strong></p> <p>- Practical aesthetic art in high school, Basis preparatory art school in Stockholm one year, <a href="http://osterlenskolan.se">Österlens arts and crafts school </a>in Simrishamn 1 year, 5.5 years ago at the <a href="http://www.karch.dk/uk">Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.</a></p> <p><strong>Tell us a bit about what techniques you use.</strong></p> <p>-The techniques that feels inspiring. But with illustrated by Em I use the tablet and scanned colour layers.</p> <p><strong>What inspires you?</strong></p> <p>-Urban structure today vs. past.</p> <p><strong>What is your “high and low moments” professionally?</strong></p> <p>-Working with culture may mean that one day have its peak as well at the end of the day have its low.</p> <p><strong>Who/what is the dream collaboration?</strong></p> <p>-To work with anyone that respects, accepts and completes one self.</p> <p><strong>What are you working on right now?</strong></p> <p>-Illustrated by Em is currently working on the designed wallpaper pattern for the wallpaper company “Your Wallpaper”.</p> <p><strong>What are your future goals?</strong></p> <p>-My goal is to continue to work creatively as long as I live. With the hope that the goals change throughout life.</p> <p><strong>Do you have a mentor or someone you look up to?</strong>  </p> <p>-No, no mentor. Have never really seen up to someone but I can have respect for people who are passionate about something, who can go against norms and dare to change. It could be within culture but as well in other professions.</p> <p></p> <p>Images:</p> <div>1. Johan & Martin</div> <div>2. Fashion Victims</div> <div>3. Frida Kahlo</div> <div>4-5.
