The painter of goldfish
When you’re such a sucker for chinese melancholia and awesome animation as me, it’s hard to just walk past something like this. Awesome!

Feeling 777 is now available as a free download, just because I’m such a nice guy. You might wanna check that out.
best birthday party ever
For those of you in Bergen, I’ll be DJing at the closing party for the eternally awesome landmark with the rest of the guys from Nabovarsel on saturday. And it’s my birthday!
Just wanted to hip you to the nights secret weapon:
Makin’ comps like a boss

Phonofestivalen teaser poster
Finally! I’ve been waiting a while to be able to show you this, the teaser poster for this years Phonofestivalen. Designed by me, yippi-yey!
The starting point for the poster was the same as for the festival; discovery. The festival is all about discovering new bands and musical stuff, so my work becomes all about finding new details and things in there to look at. You should be able to see this thing quite a few times, and still find something new!
A detailed account of the whole design (both the poster, and the festival as a whole) should find its way to behance before long. The festival folks are having their own release party at the website.
Chart for april
Just wanted to hip you to this chart I made a couple of weeks ago, if any of you DJs are listening and want to know what’s on my turntables this week. Some bass music to jump start your short skirt season, that’s all.
Truth #1
In the midst of everything else going on, I’ve put out this print as part of one of my pet projects; The Truth In Hard Places. This is the first print in that series, aptly named Truth #1.
The series is, in very short terms, about finding answers through struggle. Proper knowledge never comes easy. I could go on about how this motif makes sense and yada yada, but I fear it only makes sense to me.
This first print is available as a giclee print through Society6, here. You can even get it as a phone cover or a laptop thingy, if you’re into that jazz.
My other big project, for the phono festival, is going peachy. After two full weeks of drawing non stop and making my hands look like broken twigs, the composition finally makes sense. Can’t wait to show you the whole thing! (It even shares elements with this print, actually). Sneak peeks at facebook!
When in doubt, make fudge.
Moebius + Myazaki + Nemo
This was a bit of a bombshell for me. I just learned that my favourite artist of all time, Moebius (R.I.P) was approached to make some concept designs for an animated feature film based on one of my all-time favourite childrens books, Nemo in slumberland, back in 1985.
Oh, and my number three guy, Hayao Miyazaki, was heavily involved in production early on, even making a test film, but left citing difficulties years before Moebius came on board.
Wow.
