BIO

kær kvelja, ólga maggý. the title of this website, my newfound artistic identity, was inspired by the fact that every time i send an email it auto-corrects itself from 'kær kveðja, olga maggý' to 'kær kvelja, ólga maggý'. i always found this too funny to not use. so here i am, making my brand with this name.

for those who do not speak icelandic 'kær kveðja, olga maggý' means 'best regards, olga maggy'

but by just changing kveðja to kvelja it means 'best torment' and by changing olga to ólga it means 'agitation maggy´

so it changes from 'best regards, olga maggý' to 'best torment, agitation maggy'
