New illustration for Bergens Tidende

This is the brand new double page illustration for Bergens Tidende, Magasinet. The weekly column (well its over two pages) is called Oss i Mellom. And the topic for this illustration was the 'importance of good communication between children and parents'. Hope you like it!

Charango! A book idea is born.

This is the first image from an idea I have for an illustrated book. It has been a good few years since I last attempted to write and illustrate a book. I guess I feel its time to try again. The book is far from being finished, but the cobwebs have been blown away and the old machinery is ticking:)

The Holiday Dream

New work in today's edition of Bergens Tidende. Double page illustration. Theme: various dream holidays and destinations. Some achievable, some not so much...

A Wedding

An unofficial card illustration I recently did for Eivind and Katharina's wedding. Hipp hipp hurra!

Panic

Another piece I just did for Ikon. Financial crisis scenario, stock market crash resulting in panic in the streets. Businessmen sticking their head in holes in the ground. Lots of symbolism here, hopefully not too much....:)

Insurance illustration

New insurance-themed illustration for Ikon. Lots of creative freedom here. Have used the colour black even more than I have done before, if that's indeed possible.

The Odd Crowd

A self initiated piece I just did - 'The Odd Crowd'. A study in bad hair and crimes against fashion.
This is my first post on this brand new blog. Really its my first ever attempt on blogging. Have to follow the times and all that. I hope you like it. More will follow....
