I just got word from the great guys Zeixs that I have been featured in yet another one of their fine books. (I have previously also had my work included in Great New Characters and  T-Shirt Designs). Check out the newly released book New Textile Design.

I hope you like the new look – I’ve really felt the need to make it lighter and friendlier for some time, but haven’t had the time to do anything. Last week I finally had the time for it, and I set it up this weekend. Hopefully I’ve removed most potential bugs, but let me know if something isn’t working or you are missing some features. More content is also to come, hopefully pretty soon.

Oh, and let me know what you think. Any constructive feedback is welcome!

First of all congrats to Anti and SMFB and their gold awards, and to Morten and Hallvard for their silver and diploma. Great work all of you!

All things considered I’m pleased with our outcome too – two diplomas for TBWA\Oslo.

Obviously Creativity Online liked our Teknograd ad, as it’s todays Pick of the Day! Hooray Check it out here (or here).

So, I’ve had plenty to do the last weeks, after being hired by TBWAOslo during the summer. Shortly before summer vacation, Remi did this great illustration for our client Smartfish.

Then last week we did some more fun stuff for a new Ultra grocery store opening in Drammen. We made their logo in styrofoam, each letter about 5 meters tall, and placed it on a barge going up and down the river in Drammen downtown. Then Saturday there was also a fireworks display!

For the rest theres plenty to do, but it’s fun and people here are enthusiastic.

So, Tonje, my girlfriend, and I have started working together on a project. We’ve started making “softies”, little stuffed toys. Let me introduce you to our firstborn, Bob, who we are taking on a tour of Paris.

Well, I guess I should have recovered from Gullblyanten by now(“The Golden Pencil”, Norway´s biggest and most important domestic creative award show). Erik won our internal bet, which means we got two diplomas. One for the Teknograd campaign, and one for the website for Norli’s Antique Books. Well, a lot could be said about the award show and the winners, but I won’t delve into that here.. Anywho, it was nice to see some old pals, and to see our friends at Motion Blur get some well earned gold.

It’s been a nice month for us at 2008scandinavia with all the press coverage we’ve gotten in norwegian magazines. We’re featured in a three-page interview in Kapital and we have our Teknograd-campaign featured in Kreativt Forum. In addition we won an award called Ut-prisen for the best outdoors-campaign in january with our boards made completely out of Lego for Lego’s 50th anniversary.
