Cut, glue and create

There are days when you can't do anything but sully your hands. Get the job done. Or at least plan it to be done.

While conceiving visual appearance of Euprera 2010 congress, I need to feel the paper, cut some wounds to my fingers, draw with marker pen to my cheek, frown and squeeze failed sketches and tear some paper.

Computer is too clinical tool for that. So here I am. Cutting, gluing and creating with my scissors and pens in the web 2.0 era.

It is surprisingly hypnotic sound that comes when paper is been cut. Squeezing some sketches is a good way to blow off steam and frustration. And when feeling distressed it comes a lot cheaper to throw some paper on the floor than throw the computer towards the wall.

So when you get some glue to your fingers from your badge or guidebook in Euprera 2010 -congress here in Jyväskylä, you know who has sullied your hands...
