web store in the works

As some of you might have read between lines and on twitter lately, I’m about to open up a little web boutique for my prints.

I’ve been getting a lot better at screen printing this last year, with a pretty large pile of good ones under my belt now. They got popular quite fast, selling mostly to friends of friends and other people in the know. And since feedback has been so good on the prints, I am now opening this little shop to spread the word. We aren’t open for business just yet, since at the time of writing I’m in France and unable to ship any orders.
But as soon as I get back home the virtual doors will open fully and I can put acid-free paper into cardboard tubes before you can say sunscreen.

For the sake of transparency, you can have a look at the store at its current state, although you won’t be able to purchase anything just yet. If you are interested in any of the prints, just check back in a couple weeks. And if you just like them, tell your friends!

I am going to release an all new, even bigger print simultaneously with opening the store, at a pretty steep discount as an opening offer. So be sure to check that out while the offer lasts!

Rest assured that I spend every waking minute here in France (that I’m not in the pool) sketching away at new stuff to make. And I’ll remember to bring a proper camera to the workshop next time, it’s a lot of fun to watch all these machines go at it. Allé á la Piscine! (or something like that)

Nabovarsel poster finished

Click to enlarge

The poster for Nabovarsel’s event in july is now finished! It was pretty special for me, a personal best in silk screening. Sixty prints in three hours with two colours and not a single misprint! There are of course some small alterations between prints, but that’s just the way it’s supposed to be.

The prints will be seen in select places around town in the coming weeks, and will also be available for purchase at my upcoming web store (how’s that for a suprise), and at a pretty extreme discount at the event.

Here are some shots of the process, including my own ugly mug:

Animation on norse mythology

The last course at school before summer was an illustration class, that later evolved into an animation class, taking the illustrations further. I feel like my illustrations fell 1% short of perfection, so I’m glad that the animation went a bit further. Click through to the article to see the animation!

Here are the first boards from the illustration part by the way:

The beatlite project

beatlite
One of my biggest projects over the last year-and-a-half has finally reached its 1.0 milestone, meaning that the first version of it has been finished, tested and has performed well in a real setting.

I’m speaking of course, of what has been called the BeatLite. This is, in really short words, a musical performance enhancer. Read on.

Space viking print ready to go!

I just finished a new screen print! If you have been following my twitter activity as of late, you might have picked up some hints as to what’s been going on.

The print is a super limited edition (35 in existence) screen print, hand printed, numbered and signed by yours truly at the graphics department at the Bergen Academy of the arts.

I’m about to open a web store, so these prints will be available for purchase quite soon. In the meantime, hang tight and look at some cool photos. (update: the store is open)

Proper photos of the silkscreens

I silk screened some prints  a couple months ago, but I didn’t get any proper photos of it. So here goes, properly documented this time.
These prints will be available for purchase soon. Hand signed and numbered, only 16 pieces in existence. Just pop me an email if you want to get on the list.
