Lots of Holga love

film_120_3-3Just got some wonderful rolls back from the lab!

It’s been a while since i was the most active lomographer in the country, but i still cling to all my old cameras. Digital photography is convenient, but seriously, if you want all the warmth and.. i dunno, goodness, of photography, film is the only way to go.

Unfortunately, when everyone else in the world have gone digital, developing film is a bit harder. Plus, i mostly shoot on cross processed 120-film, which is kinda like showing up at a party as the dj with.. cassettes or something. You get the idea.

When i finally found a shop that would take my funky films (after 1 phone call, 2 emails and a trip to every single photo shop in town), it turns out my film is being sent to Stavanger, developed by hand (the machines won’t take it), and presto. Maybe my best accidental photography work as of yet. Most certainly not the most technically proficient work, but by far the most fun to shoot. Take  a look!

PS. for any locals reading, the wonderful photography shop is the tiny one right down from Pepper. I reckon he makes his living changing batteries in wristwatches these days.

I did two drawings today that turned out kinda funny, so i chucked’em in the portfolio. Completely unrelated styles, but it’s more fun that way. Click to enlarge.

Patterns

the first pattern. Click to biggify.

I’ve been getting into patterns a lot lately; the different ways to make them completely tilable, and the creative aspects of course.
The first one i did was a rip-off from an old broken pattern i found somewhere, which i thought looked so nice i drew the whole thing back up from scratch, with new colors.
At the time i was simultaniously working on a poster for UPOP, but i had not come up with any decent ideas yet. Then i figured, i should try putting their logo in there, see how it looked. And it was nice! So the first pattern became the poster, and at the party the poster was for, I put the pattern up on three projectors, to tile seamlessly across the entire venue. No decent photos of that, though.

New drawings

These two weeks at school was a bit of a relief from the usual staring-at-a-monitor-days, with a live drawing class. The images shown are watered-down china ink on paper, painted with a stick. Drawing neck bones for eight hours straight is a bit of neck strainer (no pun), so I ignored the model every now and then to practice some calligraphy, which the drawing stick was practically made for!

Making a 80’s game-visual-thing

ultra magenta frames

While poking around finding strange software and being inspired by things such as The Mighty Boosh, i figured i wanted to make a game. Let me rephrase that; an audio-visual experience-thing.
Acctually, lets just call it a game for now.

Long story short, i wanted to see how i can package some awesome visual things, cool sounds, awesome music and of course myself as the protagonist, into a game setting.
This thing I’m creating is a really old school experience, the gaming experience will be much like old game titles such as Police Quest and Raiders of the lost ark.I’m using AGS to build the game, Photoshop and lots more for visuals and god knows what and everyhing else for sound. Just got my new 6 000,- sound interface the other day, let’s try and squeeze something outta that one.

I’ll come back when i have something more to show, for now some animation shots of me walking sideways with no pants. A-W-E-S-O-M-E-.
