May 7, 2013, Lina worked with Helen but they were at different companies

I have written the novel „Move To Oslo" not just by mere accident... everything that I have experienced through this book was driven by fate. This is how I met Helen by a lucky chance - first I was thinking about

asking Stlan Andersen to sell me a nice photograph ot Morten, which he was more than willing to do, even for a quite reasonable price. But then I saw the lovely drawings of Helen on Facebook and I decided rather to take that for my book - a portrait of Morten and myself. Helen made two sketches and I instantly fell in love with one of them. I am very grateful for the lovely artwork of Morten and me and would like to thank Helen for the great cooperation. She is a true artist, indeed, and I wish her enduring success!

Illustrations were exhibited at New Designers 9th - 13th July 2008 at The Business Design Centre, Islington, London.
