Ursäkta röran

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.

North Kingdom creativity ads

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

Back to the future

Found some old music videos (click the links below) I've worked on together with Popcore film.

They where created spread throughout the last 3 or 4 years so some are quiet old, and the first work I did when it comes to music videos. They where all directed by my friends at popcore and my part have mostly been animations but on some of them I helped out with other parts as well; like photography, and conceptualizing the idea.

Anyway some of you might not have seen them, since I haven't updated my portfolio since like forever or 5 years to be more exact :)

But a new portfolio is in the works I'm gonna pick up work on it after summer vacations is over so it will hopefully be up and running this autumn, really looking forward to that, but until then enjoy this old projects:

Norma Jean - Blueprints for future homes

John butler trio - Better than

Bring me the horizon - pray for plagues

Logh - Saturday nightmares

Underoath - A moment suspended in time

New tshirts on the way

Last week I sent some new tshirt designs for the 2009 Picnic with panic summer collection, to the printers. They should arrive in a few weeks time. Here are some previews of the designs.

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.

Stay tuned for more info.

Books

It's been awhile, I've been working on a lot of new stuff, and will start sharing some recent work soon. Until then I thought I would give some reading tips on a few books I've recently read.

The third policeman by Flann O'Brien

- Probably the strangest book I've ever read but I loved it. Don't really know how to explain this or give a proper summary of it with out going on telling you the whole story but it involves rooms where time does not exist, people turning into bicycles, a postman who is 71% bicycle, building boxes within boxes, mystery and hidden roads. 

Man in the dark by Paul Auster

- I've heard a lot of good things about the writings of Paul Auster so I had to check it out, this is one of his more recent books. I really enjoyed the first part of this mystery story involving parallel universes and dreamlike scenarios, but felt a bit disappointed of the second part but I will definitely have to check out more of his books, the new york trilogy is suppose to be really good.

The secret life of Houdini by William Kalush and Larry Sloman

- This is a biography of the life of magician and escape artist Harry Houdini. If you liked movies such as the prestige and the illusionist or are just a fan of illusions you should definitely read this book. Found it very interesting and hope it will be turned into a good movie some day soon :)
