Drive

I thought it was about time I started posting some tribute drawings so here's the first one, from the movie Drive.
My two favorite films of 2011 was Drive and Melancholia. If you haven't seen them yet I highly recommend them both.

Hope you like the illustration, more to come.

Witnessing the orchestration of time

The new Soldier One album is out since last november, released on Mindblast records. Above is the space/math inspired artwork. It's based on the perception of time, and the from cover is a illustration of a math symbol called "a lightcone" the top part illustrates the future and the bottom half the past and the dot in the center the observer of time.

Artist Proof

I been thinking about releasing art-prints for such a long time now, and now it's finally happening. This week I received the artist proof of my first art print :) And it's looking great, the details in the print work are amazing. It's a 4 color screen print on 250 grams acid free paper stock, 50 by 70cm, in a limited edition run of 70 copies. I'm so pleased with how this turned out and can't wait to get it out there. So stay tuned for more information on sales it will be available soon.

So this first print is the first illustration I made in my chameleon series, a portrait built up out of chameleons piled on top of each other. Below are a few photos of the artist proof.

Musikforum

Just finished this illustration the other week. It's an illustration for a folder about music rehearsal spaces and courses in music and so on. It folds in 2 places and stretches across the front and back of the folder so the half on the right is the outer 3 pages of the folder and the left half, are printed on the inside 3 pages, and then on top of that is a text layer with all the information.

Below are my original ink drawings before coloring, some of them didn't fit into the final composition.






I made a few different color suggestions so here are a few more, I think we ended up settling on the red one at the bottom. (click for bigger versions)

Detail 02;

It's been a crazy sunny day here today, but I've been at the office all day so didn't catch much sun.
Working on a lot of new ink work right now, just started on a new record cover design, that has crazy amounts of ink work.
It should be done in a couple of weeks I hope. And then I have some new personal stuff in the works as well.

Anyway, speaking of ink I thought I would share a drawing from last year.
Forgot about posting it when it was done.
It started out just as an experiment in drawing fur, but ended up as an entire drawing, that I really like. Just black ink on paper and lots and lots of lines as you can see :)

Stay tuned for more.

Digital clean up

Finished the inking last night and just now finished the clean up. Above is a comparison of the two. More to come.

Kitchen collaboration pt.2

Picnic time

So it's getting colder and colder here, and I'm starring out the window and the snow is falling once again. Time to get ready for 6 months of winter. Anyway it's about time to bring life to this blog again. First up is a illustration I made back in the early summer, for a invitation-card to a picnic celebrating the birth of our daughter Myra.

I really like how some of the characters turned out, might just see more of them in the future.

Here are the first few character sketches.


And a rough layout sketch.

The final inked piece.
