Fin mag interview
The wonderful girls at Fin magazine just launched their newest edition, with moi in it.
The interview was super funny, and they managed to boil down my batshit theories to an actually coherent article. Way to go, girls.
Kokong Magazine release
I just got home from a great couple of days in Oslo, representing at the release of the third edition of Kokong, an illustration and literature magazine. The mag is made by Max Alexander Berg, Olav Starheimsæter, Kristian Haukland,
Marte Veys Berg and Natasha Lid Bjørdalsbakke, mostly coming from Westerdals school of communication in Oslo(if I’m not completely mistaken).
Max, one of the guys behind the magazine, approached me in a few months ago, the result of that conversation being a limited edition silk screened art print, included in every copy of the mag. The print is a variation on the ut å løpe theme, and fits neatly inside a pocket inside the magazine.
The whole publication is more a crazy experiment in package design and origami than an ordinary magazine, and a brilliantly executed and successful one at that, I’d say.
Other illustrators in the third edition includes talents such as Dan Stafford (did the cover), Ville Savimaa, Micah Lidberg, and Sergio Haisch. Words by Kaja Svarva Denstad, Jo Fenne, Mathias R. Samuelsen, Ola Knoll Nielsen, Victoria Durnak, Andes Lunde, Jakob Skjelbred and Thomas J.R. Marthinsen.
The availability of the magazine is still a bit in the blue, I’ll update the post as we find out where you can actually get your hands on a copy.
EDIT: The magazine (all three editions) is now available in the store! I’m amazed it all worked out so smoothly, and I am delighted to see it in my virtual store shelves, it fits right in. Go have a look!
The Nabovarsel magazine
Today is the day the first edition of the Nabovarsel magazine is released!
We have been working on this thing for about five months now. The bulk of the magazine is made up of some brilliant articles and photos, cooked up by the most brilliant young minds in Bergen, nothing less. Headlining is the biggest, baddest city guide to Berlin you have ever seen, covering ten years of club culture.
We also have gotten rather huge amount of DJs from the whole country to chip in and name their top 10 tracks between 2000 and 2009. Some safe cuts, some suprising ones, lots of great music. Just over fifty pages, it’s a pretty solid piece of work, if I may say so.
If you are unaware of the existence of Nabovarsel, it is a music and culture collective based in Bergen, hosting parties and various other events, managing several artists and bands, and we even have a podcast, featuring mainly mixtapes from Norway’s best DJs. Branching out, we figured it would be great fun to make a magazine, too.
My role in this project has been in the design department of course, being head designer on the whole rag. Keep reading for some design jibberjabber!
