Co2-neutral

Petter Gantelius — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 16:42:25 +0200

I decided to make my company Co2-neutral, not sure if it helps, but some more trees in Honduras can´t hurt either. Check it out here

Waiting

Petter Gantelius — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 09:34:43 +0200

Me and my coworker Crelle Johansson have begun a new study together, taking photographs of different kinds of waiting, here's one from the first round.

Wearing jeans from Dr Denim Jeansmakers, long sleeved t-shirt made from organically grown cotton, shoes from urban outfitters.

Fall is coming

Petter Gantelius — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 12:59:53 +0200

I gave Atavahuset.se my all for a few days, and then I slept for a week. It's hard to imagine how tiring it is to broadcast 24/7.

The fall is here, and i've got many exciting projects to look forward to. Yesterday I was a model for the internal IKEA-catalogue, serving drinks with my feet while doing handstands. Everything was confidential, so I couldnt take any pictures for you, sorry!

I bought a new pair of rubber boots for my fire show, you can see them in the background on the picture. They're from H&M.

I'm moving

Petter Gantelius — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 10:59:57 +0200

This wednesday I'll be moving in to a virtual house on the internet, called atavahuset.se. It will hold 9 residents, and anyone is free to sign up. If you vote for me I might win some great stuff, so pretty please with sugar on top, go to Atavahuset.se and have a look, it'll launch this wednesday. You can also see my application video on Youtube

Hugs and kisses

Here I go again

Petter Gantelius — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 10:47:03 +0200

Hi BrandView:ers!

I welcome myself back from my summer holiday with this post. Hope you've had a great time!

I found this wall when i was in Antwerp, Belgium. I couldn't leave it for several minutes, I was so fascinated. You could peak through holes in the wall to see an old ruined garden, probably abandoned for many decades.

In the picture i'm wearing Acne Jeans, T-shirt by Johan Lindeberg, bag from Cheap Monday, and a cap from a well known low-price store in central Skåne, Bo Ohlsson in Tomelilla!

Petter Gantelius — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 07:45:53 +0200

I saw this in the paper, had to share it.

Enjoy!

Caught

Petter Gantelius — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 14:12:02 +0200

I was caught on camera trying to hide behind some trees to dress up for a outdoor show.

Black Tiger suit, shirt from H&M, scarf from Indiska. Always in my YSL glasses. I wonder when i'll get sponsorship from them, always exposing those glasses!

So hard

Petter Gantelius — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 20:16:23 +0200

Hi dearest readers.

Sorry I've been neglecting to write for the last week, but it's been the most amazing weather here, so I've practically been outside all the time.

Yesterday i did another fire performance, this time on stilts with my new fire wings. I can hardly walk today, they were so heavy to carry, and i couldn't put them down for a second.

I'ts a bit hard to see, but i'm wearing a trench from bzr, a motorcycle helmet and 2 meter long trousers. Now you're probably thinking "where on earth can you buy 2 m long pants?" Well, at least thats the question i got after the performance, laughed until tears came out of my eyes.

Shop organic!

New cardigan

Petter Gantelius — Wed, 28 May 2008 09:03:42 +0200

MQ is really shaping up. I didn't like a lot of their clothes before, but lately there's accually been a lot of nice stuff. I went shopping there this morning, and look what I found! A wonderful double-breasted cotton cardigan.

Also wearing Acne jeans and a Vailent t-shirt.

Backstage

Petter Gantelius — Tue, 27 May 2008 07:57:18 +0200

As i've mentioned before, working as a performer isn´t always a smooth cup of tea, but i'm sure You didn't think so either. I have oil stains on a lot of my clothes from pouring lamp oil on my fire equipment, and one or two burnmarks aswell.

Before i changed to my performance suit i wore Jeans from Dr Denim Jeansmakers, a long sleeved t-shirt from Diesel, a cardigan from Emilio at MQ, shoes from Adidas bought at Sneakers & Stuff in Malmö and another scarf from Indiska.

Now I'm off to rehearse in the sun!

A studie of fabric

Petter Gantelius — Tue, 20 May 2008 07:25:55 +0200

I've been working on a series of photographs for some time, and now i can finally show you the results. Check out all 7 photographs on my website

Tell me what you think about it!

Well, for a night out this is a great outfit. 20 meters of cotton fabric and a pair of YSL glasses.

Try it!

STAY

Petter Gantelius — Mon, 12 May 2008 08:44:09 +0200

What�s up with that? Practically every day I read about how extremely dangerous it is to be in the sun. You will most likely get skin cancer, sooner or later.

But come on. If I�m not in the sun I get depressed. And being depressed means I don�t eat properly. And I stop exercising the way I should. I loose interest in my work, and even my friends. That�s a lot worse than the risk of getting skin cancer.

No, stay out in the sun, and live your life to the full. Blame me if you catch a bit of cancer.

For a day in the botanical garden: Levi�s engineered jeans shorts, a shirt from H&M, Ray Ban Wayfarer shades and loafers from Vagabond.

Nice coat

Petter Gantelius — Thu, 08 May 2008 09:24:37 +0200

Was browsing through this weeks featured brand, found this coat/jacket. Damn nice. Want one of those!

Check it out here!

Hugs and kisses

First time

Petter Gantelius — Wed, 07 May 2008 10:45:08 +0200

First inline trip of the year. First barbecue. First picnic in the park. It feels like I'm reliving my life now the sun and the heat is back.

I've been away at some performances the last week, and have loads of pictures to post. When I get them from my photographer that is. It'll happen in a few days.

For now I'll just post this picture of me enjoying the evening sun with a hamburger and a beer (organic of course, have to relieve my conscience).

I'm wearing Diesel Industry Jeans, a ancient long sleeved t-shirt from H&M, shades from JC and a scarf from Indiska.

Crappy background

Petter Gantelius — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:13:16 +0200

Well, how about that?

A fire show in a industrial area, with only a big banner post to divide the stage from the backstage area. It�s not even dark outside. Glamorous? I think not.

Still doing my best to keep it stylish though, with a shirt from Bagutta, a vest from Filippa K and shoes from Vagabond.

Props

Petter Gantelius — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 13:40:30 +0200

Just want to give props to a photografer I'm working with at the moment, Crelle Johansson, and post this photo taken at a performance with the band Starfunk at Glasklart in Malmö.

Have a look at Crelle.se, where you can find more photos from the performance

As you can see i wasn't wearing a lot on stage, just my glasses from YSL and a pair of suit pants from Tiger of Sweden, and the shirt in my hand is from Day.

Greetings from your not so humble narrator

Impossible situations

Petter Gantelius — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 00:19:41 +0200

This afternoon I found myself trapped in an unreal situation, standing in the very heart of Stockholm (Hötorget) with only a black horse statue to keep me company. And as if this wasn�t enough, my mission was to transport the horse, in a taxi, to the theater where only hours later I would use the same horse as a stage prop. The ordered taxi arrives on time, but the very moment the driver sees the horse he backs up and drives away again. So there I am, in a big hurry to get back in time for the sound check, ordering another taxi, this time a large one. And what happens?

Rain starts pouring down.

Cold, wet, hungry and completely stressed out, I was the laughing stock of the day for the local fruit dealers.

Looking back at this situation, I should�ve chosen warmer clothes to wear, as usual, but I didn�t, as usual. A pair of black jeans from Acne, jacket from H&M and my ugliest but most comfortable sneakers from Lejon (take 3 pay for 2..).

So, if you ever see a presumably crazy person shivering beside a strange object, with a empty look in their eyes, it might very well be me.

Stay sane!

Cabin crew, arm slides, cross check and report

Petter Gantelius — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 08:15:53 +0200

Traveling time for Petter, will probably take most of my day even though the flight duration is just 55 minutes. This time I�m heading for Stockholm, will be performing at a fashion show for L'Oreal. Since I also worked as a creative producer in this production it�s going to be very exciting to experience the final results. I�ll be performing with some wicked characters that I�ve developed over the last months. Pictures will eventually be posted, but I want to try it on stage first.

I realized that I�ve already become an old fart when my hand baggage consists of an inflatable pillow, a sleeping mask and ear plugs for a one hour flight, but hey, I think I like being an old fart.

Since flight seats always suck, I�m going to put really comfortable clothes on, in this case a pair of baggy jeans from Levis Engineered and a huge cardigan from Mid.Munk. I�ll want to loose my shoes as soon as I take my seat, but I don't want to pester people around me, so I�m wearing my latest pair of shoes from Lacoste that still smell like roses and raspberries, and some brand new socks. I love looking at people around me, so a pair of reflecting shades bought at a gas station somewhere in Germany will serve me well.

And, DON�T do as I do and fly Domestic flights on short trips. It�s plain stupid. My excuse is my 10 full flight cases that are more or less impossible to bring on a train. Which is even more stupid. Make some changes goddammit!

See you in Stockholm!
