I´ll be right back!

I have been wondering how to improve my blog for some time now and of course hundreds of ideas came to my mind. So I decided to stop posting for some time and start all over again.

I´ll let you know about it as soon as possible.

Thanks to all my dear readers: Take care and have fun!

Combinat - Museumsquartier Vienna



"In the northwest corner of the Vienna Museumsquartier, near the entrance from Burggasse, surprised visitors will come upon a room filled with a unique selection of fashion, handbags, jewelry and accessories – the Combinat: A welcome and refreshing Combination of lifestyle-pieces from several designer labels. A creative interplay of choice Designer-Soft-Wear. An assortment which can confidently hold its own, with museum-quality ambience achieved through a mass of creativity emerging out of the successful collaboration of several designers from various countries."

"For visitors who have frequented the spot since its opening in April of 2005, the most important aspect of the picturesque and charismatic room (which was once apparently directly below a tack room for K & K Hofstallungen, the horse stables of the Habsburgs) is that 5 inter/national designer labels – Pitour, meYoTa, Artista, km/a, Claudia Güdel – use the space as an ever-evolving showplace for their creative abilities."

"Thus, every month, the Combinat opens its doors to offer the opportunity for young artists to put their creativity on display on the walls of the room, in the form of photographs, paintings, or illustrated works.It is no accident, then, that designers of the Combinat host vernissages more often than fashion shows, and it is also no coincidence that just this kind of dynamic creative enthusiasm is easy to see within their unique individual works.For the creative minds of the Combinat, art is more than merely a buzzword. It is a symbiotic duty and persuasion. From these multiple interconnections within the discipline, an independent style emerges, which the Combinat employs in creating a space of its own - a space with a charisma that not only stretches past the borders of its Shop-in-Shop-Concept, but also reaches far beyond the walls of the Museumsquartier."

Alicia Buelow










Alicia Buelow is a San Francisco-based illustrator and designer who integrates traditional media with found objects, text, digital images and photographs.
Her works are partly available via her homepage.

"My work reflects the relationships between technology, nature, and anatomy, as described by our everyday emotional and physical experiences. When building an image, I start with a background texture created from traditional materials by painting, scraping, drawing, and gluing imagery onto a surface. I also take tons of photos for source backgrounds such as faded, peeling, and rusted surfaces. I scan the photos and hand-made backgrounds on my flatbed scanner, then add other elements digitally."
