Hey gang!
I just finished silk screening a few tote bags, mostly to see if I could make it work. I could.
For this batch, I only made four, but I have loads more planned (but with a totally different designs). Since they are more an experiment than a real “product”, I’m selling them for just the price of materials. So this is your chance to get a unique design and a practical bag for the price of a cup of coffee… Available in the store!
And boom, it’s here.
This is the poster I just finished for Nabovarsel’s christmas party, featuring a pretty stellar booking. The whitest boy alive will be playing some all-new stuff never seen before, and our marvelous Advanced Language just released a free single for you! The event is on facebook, and so am I.
Only hours after the announcement, we got some pretty nice press coverage. Here’s our local BA, and here’s one from Gaffa.
While working on the new poster for Nabovarsel (which I will be able to show you soon), this form came to me. Too bad I already have an established visual style, I really liked the inherent symbolism and feel of this one. Thoughts?
Just in time for the holiday shopping carnival of madness, I am having some neat discounts in the store and I’m also finishing up a new print, set to arrive under your christmas trees as soon as I can get all the paint and emulsion off my fingers!
The discount madness starts on November 29th, be sure to click the like thingy on facebook, and I’ll let you know when the bomb drops.
In the meantime, dance around your apartement to the sounds of my newest little mixtape! Also, consider joining the most awesome newsletter on the planet (mine) to get even more awesome discounts.
It’s time to ease up from the recent serious posts and look at some pictures, folks.
These are all photos I’ve taken this and last week in Copenhagen. Earlier today I happened to come across a demonstration in the middle of the city, inspired by the occupy wall street protest it seems. Hope you like the photos!
I just re-made my entire portfolio, from being in its entirety on the Behance network, to a new, more concise and focused presentation. The site is powered by Cargo, which should be familiar to those of you in the creative business.
So take a look, and tell me what you think!
A friend and brilliant designer from Oslo, Jon Arne Berg, just made a funny type experiment he named cloud A.
So, naturally, I got all inspired and stuff. So here’s my take on the idea, far less readable, just because I can(mouse over the image if you wanna know what it says).
And of course, he actually worked on his version, I’m just waiting for the coffee to finish brewing here.
Nabovarsel is kicking the scene in gear once again in Bergen, hot in the heels of the Ekko festival. I would say that anyone in Bergen should make sure to come, but anyone living there reading this are already going. What do you guys think about the poster?
The wonderful girls at Fin magazine just launched their newest edition, with moi in it.
The interview was super funny, and they managed to boil down my batshit theories to an actually coherent article. Way to go, girls.
Untz Untz, a record label run by two friends of mine in Bergen, are about to release a single for Njaal, which is a guy you may have heard about before around here. The cover art was done by Uniforms and Dropouts, and label boss Eirik asked me to help out with the typography treatment. And I am happy to oblige, of course.
It’s worth to note that this is my all-time favourite track from Njaal, so I’m very happy to be part of it in any way. I’ve used early pre-released versions of this track as secret Dj weapons, and watched the audience go nuts to these beautiful arpeggio lines. I mean, just listen to it!
This is the first version I did, taking the dirty cover around for a spin with some glitter. The idea of fake gold I thought had a good connection with the rest of the cover. The typeface is Airship. 
In the end, I would up going at it from a different approach, to try to match the grittiness of it instead of contrasting it. Typeface is Tondu, here goes. 
In other, more personal news, things are going just dandy here in Copenhagen. I’ve made lots of new friends, and the hunt for clients and friendly agencies is going good. I just had a great meeting with Nille from Goodmorning Technology, and I’m meeting lots of cool folks over at Likemind.
I’m also keeping pretty busy with several projects that you will hear about soon on this very blog, so stay tuned and you’ll hear all about it!
