From the ashes and feathers of the thousands of dying sparrows comes Ocean of storms. Continuing in the same musical paths as thousands of sparrows but with new ambitions.
Just finished this design for our first merch, tshirts will be available this summer, and at our first gig at trästock festivalen in july, keep your eyes and ears open :)
Rough mock-up of tshirts, Silver on black and Gold on black.
We went to Norway with North Kingdom last week, really nice trip, Norway is so beautiful it's a bit hard to believe that it's so close to Sweden. Anyway here are some photos I took with my not so good but works well for a blog cellphone camera.
We walked around a lot. Hard not to considering we where on an island called Lovund :) the remarks and jokes surrounding the island on the tv show lost where constant :)

Roger looks kind of lost. We where trying to get to the top of the mountain but around here most of us realized we wern't rellay up for it and went back, Roger and Hans somehow finally made it to the top, 600 meter above sealevel.
Beautiful mountains.
Jake enjoying the view.
Henrik and Peter relaxing in the cabin.
And Mathias relaxing in the sun.
On a small boat going to another island. On the left me and Rob. On the right Jake.
I wonder what it's like living like this like 10 houses on a small island.
What a view.
Pretty steap walking/climbing down the another mountain.
I guess this is where Batman lives :)
Me on the left, man I need a haircut bad :), Daniel and mike on the right.
Driving home.
Just finished a tshirt print for "totalt jävla mörker" last week, it's at the printers now, and will be available at their shows this summer on tshirt as well as ziphoods, with gold and lilac print on black shirts.
The Trästock festival tshirts are finally heading for the printers, guess they will be ready and available to buy in a couple of weeks. This is what they will end up looking like, white tshirts and not black ones as was originally planed, so nice to have white instead of black to be honest.
Firefox is driving me insane with it's color profile beeing so untrue to the original colors grrrr, maybe it's just on mac I don't know but try viewing this in safari and you will see the true colors of the print and not some washed out version :(
Working on a new tshirt design for Totalt Jävla Mörker. Hopefully I will get it done this weekend, and then I will post the completed design.
Also just finished a album cover for my friend Christian Augustin, will post that soon aswell.
More to come :)
On repeat right now in my headphones:
Ladyscraper - the death of marry poppins
Muscles - guns babes lemonade
why? - alopecia demo
dj donna summers - remixes
Been in Stockholm this week working with a new project for Royal Mail, through North Kingdom, Above is a picture from NK's Stockholm office, Peter's having fun showing of his iPhone, and in the back you can spot a great canvas print by Jon Burgerman. Sorry for the image quality, it's taken with my mobile phone :P
Also went to see a concert with "why?", really nice but you can't help longing for the old days and the hearing older tracks such as "cold lunch". But still picked up a nice cd with demo versions of all songs from his latest album.
Just finished a project together with Erik at "formavd" called Gratiskondomer.nu, made a 15 second animated spot for the cinema this week, will put up a QT of it when it has been released.
And yeah last but not least a new t-shirt design I'm working on but it's not really finished yet it will probably be reconfigured a few more times before I'm happy with it. Anyway it's called "Edison I've fixed my glasses like new" maybe you can make out the words :)
Screenshot from me working on new threads, I hope this will get finished one hopefully sunny day not to far from now, This is just a rough mockup of a section of the design but I've had this idea for awhile to make a tshirt out of the quote "Edison I've fixed my glasses like new" so I should get around to finishing it. I'll post the finished version when it's done, we'll see if it makes the cut. I only want to make multi color tshirts prints now to bad it's far more expensive but guess that will have to work anyway, color goes a long way :)
Pictoplasma just released that the third conferance will be held in Berlin 2009 in march. I will defenetly go again, had a blast last time. To bad it won't be any conferance this year or well there will be a smaller one in new york but I guess I'd rather wait and go to Berlin next year.
Here are some more of my pictures from the 2nd conferance:
PICTURES
A illustration I made earlier this year for "Bio Marx" a small cinema ring in Umeå. Love the insanly happy popcorn :) hahaha
Chess is the next big thing for sure :) Or I guess it's always been I'm just a bit slow a realizing. Great fun anyway. up for a game?
Just finished the final touch up on the "trästock" festival t-shirts, I think it turned out nice, like the concept of animals in a band.
But it seems it will be black t-shirts so it will probably end up something like this.
