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.
Here’s a small collection of some t-shirt prints I’ve been working on for 2008scandinavia. Obviously I’ve mostly been working by hand, to give it a distinct look and feel. I wanted to give them a personal, individual feel. Really looking forward to getting some shirts printed so we start handing them out to our friends. 
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.
Well, as my gf and I have three pet rats ourselves, I thought this would be a fitting motive for a card for today. Happy Valentines!
Thought I’d post a couple of wallpapers I’ve put together here at work. The first one is made in Lego. Or, at least, virtually built in Lego. On the second one I played around a bit with the typography, 3D-effects and some bright colors. For the third I used some tricks I learned from the great guys at PSDTuts together with my illustration where I played around with one of the 2008 logos.
Been checking out some of Von Glitschka’s great tutorials over at Illustration Class. That got me going, making an illustration based on a more or less random image I saved last night. So, here it is.
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.
