From what I can see of their book presentation, at least my logo for Litteraturuka is featured there.

That’s gaming as in role playing games, board games and such. It’s actually being held this weekend, so pop in for some zombie gaming action in Oslo. This years concept is zombie apocalypse, so watch out for slow-moving brain-eating enemies and the defending military forces at Arcon-26.

This is a packaging design I did for Apotek 1, which is the biggest pharmacy-chain in Norway. The BabyBox is a box full of stuff you need for a newborn baby, that you get for free at the pharmacy. Baby illustrations by Vincent J. Vestly.

The typeface i’s called Ariano and all letters and symbols in it are built using grid of triangles. So it is made on the same principle as pixel-fonts, only with triangles instead. As the poster states, it will be coming out soon.

I discovered the contest a big late, but I decided to make a design that was based on rorschach patterns and sent it in the night before it ended. First time I’ve tried something like this. I was awarded third place, and they sent me a very nice e-mail afterwards. Maybe I’ll get to make a custom for them some day. :)

Read more about the contest on their blog.

Here is some of the stuff I have been working on.

It’s for a range of hand made, mostly sewn “stuff”, in lack of a better word. Well, basically there will a big range of stuff eventually. A website is also in the works, so when I have something to show, that will be showing up on this blog too.
