in commemoration of 22/7-2011

I am sure that we all are aware of the horrible tragedies that took place both in Oslo and on Utøya island the 22nd of July 2011, just a little less than a week ago. It is hard to state the shock that we´ve been struck with, and we are all lost for words. It was not only a blow for Norway, but a blow to the entire political sphere. The mood in oslo can be felt, it is all so quiet. In silence for the victims of this tragedy. 

I made this illustration to help us not forget, but to stand up united, united not only in tragedy, but united against our oppressors, fight for our rights. We have the freedom of speech and the freedom to have any political view our hearts may desire. Let it be a reminder to use our political rights, do vote, you do have a say. My deepest condolences go out to those involved and their families.

A birdman and a beer.

Chilling down in Cornwall, hanging out and having a beer, specifically a Doggy style pale ale from Flying Dog at Hand Beer Bar. Yes, I do love my beer. Unfortunately, I didn´t bring my sketchbook along, so any piece of paper would have to suffice. In this case - a bar napkin. This is a really good exercise to show you how paper quality affects your illustration. Anyhow, I went for a birdman this time.
