Sac Magique (UK/FI)

Sac Magique (UK/FI) stayed at Creators Inn by Elvine at Scandic Malmen in Stockholm.

Who are you and what do you do? Do you consider yourself creative and if so, in what way?
My name’s Sac Magique – I’m an illustrator and graphic artist. I’ve always believed that everyone is born creative – but many lose it on the way to adulthood; I’m clinging on to mine.

What was your reason for visiting Stockholm, and what happened while you were here?
I had a couple of reasons for coming – to mount an exhibition of my prints at bar Ljunggren and also to meet the people and illustrators at Woo, my Swedish agency.

How did you like the room, and what do you think about the Creators Inn by Elvine concept?
The room was great – perfect location and much more personal than the usual hotel room. Unfortunately I didn’t really have time to take advantage of the full Creators Inn by Elvine concept as I was busy hanging my show and stuff – would have been nice to have called one of the concierges for a drink or had a soak in the bath.

Any tips and recommendations for future guests? Did you include anything on the map?
Well, the tapas bar Sardin on Skånegatan was superb – great for veggie bastards like myself. Also Magasin 13 is really worth visiting – a wonderful art space.

What’s creativity to you?
I think creativity at it’s best is an approach to life - it’s about playfulness and finding possibilities in the everyday even when you are soaking wet and smell of wet dog.

What’s next?
Hope to keep moving forward – bigger and brighter for 2010.
