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.

I suck at drawing ladypersons, here is one I did for my girlfriend.
she insisted on having it in the "sketchy" blue, so I scanned it in before inking it up.

looky looky.

I´ve also uploaded a new self portrait over at illustration and coffee, but you are going to have to go over there to check it out. However, I am going to make it easy for ya. Just press this: http://www.illustrationandcoffee.com

Oslo

Someone´s always feeling blue in Oslo.. Another "MBA"!

Oslo for easter

Back in Scandinavia for a brief visit this Easter.
besides dropping my new tee at Hunting Lodge and Berlin Texaz.
I´ve also managed to pick up Beatbully´s new LP "Kosmisk Regn" available at Tiger. I also went on a quick trip to Stockholm. While in Stockholm, I managed to squeeze in a quick visit to the Sson/ilikebike guys and pick up the 028 bike box. Good guys and good products. check them out here: Sson
other than that I met up with Ole and had a cuppa whilst scheming and doing some sketching.

 

New tee

Here´s a quick mock up of a screen printed tee in a very short production run that I just placed an order for.  It´s a rasterized version of the "Bikes" motif. Hopefully I´ll have these before easter. If so, the few t-shirts will be distributed to select stores near you. ( That is if you live in Oslo, Norway) The colours arent 100% spot on, but just a meager representation. They´ll be printed onto continental N03 mens premium t-shirts which are nice indeed, the exact colour is called light lemon and will definitely fit in with the style of the season. Again, this is only a representation of how it will look. Sizes will be S,M,L,XL
If you want to pre-order one, drop me a line.
