It's still raining outside so I'm a bit bored at home will catch up on some drawing later today.
But I found 2 fun youtube videos I liked just had to post them;
Michael Jackson tribute in Stockholm.
And then we have the Hood internet mash up between keyboard cat and usher :) very funny
Just bought Björk's new Voltaic cd/dvd box set (2 cds and 2 dvds) really nice.
I would so like to see her preform live but this will have to do for now.
Oh by the way if you are a firefox user, you should get the new version 3.5
since it has better color profile support then older versions.
A few months ago I worked on this Telenor commercial as a animator / character designer.
If you live in Sweden you have probably seen it several times on tv.
It was directed by my friends over at Popcore for Acne film.
The model city/railroad was built by Mats Sahlström (Eljest film) and Anders Hellström (Manick Produktion) And the stop-motion animations was done by dockhus animation.
I made the short animation in the beginning of the knight and princess.
Here are some sketches from my sketchbook:
I started this drawing in december last year but it has never been completed. It was supposed to be
used for record cover when completed but the plans changed along the way.
Found these pictures from the process thought I might as well put them up here,
maybe I will complete it one day.
I started out with a rough pencil sketch.
This is a great book showcasing the work by an amazing illustrator called Vania, check it out.
Starting the inking process.
I used a classic ink quill and some dry brush technique.
Started to work on this canvas again last night, it's been standing for like a year on the floor
in my apartment, about time that I finish it up.
Went to Stockholm yesterday to attend a concert with Neurosis. I've seen them once before and this was a equally great experience as last time. it's always great to see a band you have admired since what seems like forever, and you have so high expectations and they still deliver on all marks. From what I've heard after this tour they will never tour again so I'm glad I've gotten the chance to see them twice now, the have influenced me a lot in my taste in music and a lot of great band would never have existed or sounded remotely close to what they do today if it wasn't for Neurosis.
Above is a great old live video, and below a interview Swedish television did in 2005.
FYI; I'm rearranging some stuff on the blog changing picture and font sizes e.t.c.
So it might look a bit messy here for a couple of days.
Meanwhile check out the time lapse video in the post below if you haven't done that already.
I finished up the adds for North Kingdom last week, that will be printed on huge canvas backdrops and placed on the
main stage at "Trästock festivalen" a anual free music festival in Skellefteå. Below you can see a sketch of how they will
be placed on the left and right side of the stage.
I also made a screen capture time-lapse video of the process while making these illustrations,
you can view it below by clicking the image, or go to this link: Process time-lapse
Found some old music videos (click the links below) I've worked on together with Popcore film.
My underwater traffic illustration :) The colors don't really match up and there will be a few different color combinations for the t-shirts.
Not quite sure what this animal is called in english is it "anteater"? anyway he is eating icecream :) This design will be on white tshirts.
