Glesbygd'n - Välkommen Hem

Glesbygd'n is a reagge band from the north of Sweden, that do reagge in an old local northern sweden dialect.
And here's their latest video; "Välkommen Hem", Directed by Victor Lindgren.
I just had a small part in this production, I made the animations for the mouth and eyes of the strange white flobby creatures in the video. Enjoy!

Norma Jean - Video

Just before the summer holidays hit us last year me and Linus over at Popcore film, shot this music video for US hardcore/punk act Norma Jean.
We shot it on a Canon 7D DSLR. It was the first time for me working with that camera, and I really enjoy it.
But the rolling shutter problem is quite anoying. Hopefully that will go away or at least get better with newer versions coming out.

Below you can see a behind the scenes clip we put together for the video.
Parts of it was shot with a time-lapse app for the iphone, great fun. hope you enjoy them both.



Artist: Norma Jean
Track: Deathbed atheist
Directed by: Popcore film and Kenny Lindström
Animations: Kenny Lindström
Shot on: Canon 7D

Back in business

Hey all. I'm finally back to work and will do my best to kick start this blog back into life again, it's been more or less dead for far to long now, I know. I've been away for about 7 months taking care of my kid, but now I'm back at work again. I will start posting some work from last year that I haven't gotten around to posting yet, I'm also working on some new cool things both animations and illustrations.

Teaser of some new cameleon illustration work. I'm working on getting some prints out there as well. 2011 will hold some nice things, stay tuned.

Kitchen collaboration pt.2

Robert just updated his blog with some new photos of our collaboration, So I thought I would post them here too. Check out his post here for more information.

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.

Distraction

Sometimes it can be a bit hard to draw when you have a overly social cat :)

Kitchen collaboration - NK STOCKHOLM

This spring me and Robert Lindström did this illustration together. It will be put up on a wall in the kitchen at the North Kingdom office in Stockholm.

Robert worked on the overall concept/art direction and the girl on the left, and I did the octopus and jelly fish on the right.

Here's the first sketch that I received from Robert, and by that my starting point.

At one time it was just going to be jelly fish in the right area but we decided on a octopus as well to give it more life and for me to bring something more to this concept. Here's the first sketch I did, but it didn't feel just right.

So I reworked the octopus into a new style. But I liked that the octopus is asking her for a cup of coffee :) so that I kept.

Here's the flat colored version, mashed up with Roberts illustration.

Radio silence?

Hey, hope someone is still following my blog even tough I've been silent for way to long.

But it's about time I started blogging again, I got some new projects I will post in the following days/weeks so stay tuned.
