Yet another illustration I’ve done on my spare time. Inked the lines with an old calligraphy nib and added some scanned old bookcovers I found in the basement at home for colors.
Been working on a small series of pin-up posters lately, just experimenting and working with some theese shapes.
Been working on a profile and posters for a sci fi film festival here in Oslo theese last few weeks, and I’m finally finished. Shown here is the poster and the program book.
As I’m out there looking for work, I need to go around showing my portfolio, and so I came up with a complete concept for it too. This came from some of my personal observations and ideas about this experience of constantly being on the move from place to place, showing people what “tricks” you know. Obviously its inspired by circus posters and design of the early 1900s.
So, schools almost over for me, and I’ve done some drawing now that I have more time to sit down with it. Here’s a allover-print I made. Used pencil, inked on top of that, scanned and added color in photoshop. I’ll be using these skulls some more I think. Maybe make some stickers and stuff like that.
Some collages I did for a recent design pitch for a jeans client.
Long story short, we made a poster for a second year school project, and a year later they wanted to use it for real for their music festival!
I entered Far Coast’s contest for a promotional mural on a huge wall on Majorstua in Oslo with these two. The second one won me a pretty respectable 3rd place in the contest 
No surprise the first one didn’t win, but it was still very fun to make, hehe.
