Here's a couple of pictures of this summer's very limited spraypaint production: two walls with Res and Meter of the infamous Your Mamas Favourite crew. The first pictures are from a big Graffiti jam at Lillehammer last week-end where we made a memorial wall for the victims of the tragic events in Oslo and Utøya this summer. Big love. These last two were made for a

Here's a preview of Elyas på glattisen – a childrens book by Pouria Ruhi I've illustrated that's beeing released the 7th of march at Cappelen-Damm publishers. The title means something similar to Elyas on thin ice, and the story is about Elyas and three of his friends in an epic battle for the right to play at the local, backyard hockey field. When everything is looking dark

The national newspaper Dagsavisen writes about the Bamsepanteautomat today. The article is fronted by the director of the National Theater Hanne Tømta, explaining the idea of a recycling station for teddy bears. The teddy bears are going to be used in a forthcoming play, before beeing washed and donated to kids at orphanages. The container is up until the 20th of december. And here's a picture

I haven't been this cold in a long time. It took me two days making what whas originally a glass recycling container into a recycle bin for teddybears, in minus 5 degrees and strong wind. First day the box had to be de-iced, manually offcourse. My fingers got quite num, but despite the cold the project turned out quite well in the end. Thanks to the inventor of warm cocoa, and the nice people at

Finally, here's the pictures of the finished production @Herlsebsgate. Parked cars prevented good pictures of the right side of it, but still, you'll get a good idea of it. So nice to have the chance to work on a production for more than a day or two! Neighbours going past were also really positive, an elderly lady even wanted us to try to get permission to paint a wall near her appartment at

Ever seen ‘Once We Were Warriors’? When it came out I absolutely loved it, and I watched it over and over again. I guess it somehow hit a soft spot in my youthful mind: the super bad boys and the crazy father Jake Heke, all the tattoos, the family drama that unfolds, and through all this the Maori coolness offcourse… Looking back I'm really happy I didn't get too inspired: having my whole face

I'm doing a wall together with Res and Meter of Your Mamas Favourite crew these days. Pretty happy with the result so far, but there's alot left to do – I haven't even figured out what to do with the background yet. I started out with a sketch, then modified it a bit along the way to make it work better with the pieces. I'll get back with pictures of the whole wall once it's finished. In the

Brushing the dust off some old boxes at the office this print appeared. (Note to myself: start cataloging things better!) Well, I made it at Granum way back, they used to have a nice print workshop with all the equipment for printing in various techniques. This is made in Aquatint and etching as far as I remember. I loved experimenting with the textures of the aquatint, and tediously working the

This was a nice and warm day in early june, summer temperatures and funky rhytms from Res' legendary ol' casette player. Just made some sketches on the bus going there, the theme beeing kind of a tribute to kids, I guess. Good times.

I just rediscovered these in a box in my basement. I printed them back in 2001 when I was studying in Bergen. They're mono prints, basically just drawings in a thick, oily ink directly onto a plate of plexi glass, before squeezing them through a press. I still really like the textures, inaccuracies and immediate expression. And that two of the prints are almost the same, but not exactly. I have

This was originally a Skin project we sent in to a christmas paper design competition. It was selected as one of 10 show pieces, but never printed. However, a good chance for recycling it came through Tonje Høyberget, a friend of mine at the time designing Utflukt #3 – 2007, an Oslo based literature magazine. She needed an illustration for a conceptual piece called Grupper (Groups), where the

The guys at Your Friends gave me an offer I couldn't refuse: make an illustration for the alternative Oslo guide named nothing less than Oslo – the connoisseurs guide to happy living in one of the most expensive cities in the world. What would I like to promote as something really worthwhile discovering in Oslo? The result: an advert for Gamlebyen Sport og Fritid, the skatepark/ hall of fame

Nice temperature for painting these days. First post in a loooong while…And it comes with some flicks from the Hausmania battle last saturday. David and me represented Bensinstasjon, rocking YMF to victory together with Res and Meter. All black and white on the theme “Noah's Ark”. I painted the girl character in the last image under the tunnel in Gamlebyen. All good!

Here's one from last year, I still like it so why not post it now? It's in gouache, lipstick, pencil, ink and cut out paper. A real fun project for a real fun bunch of girls. Their show named “Fanfaronene og den dumme, dumme kjærligheten” was linked to the European cabaret tradition, reflecting the humour, but also the controversial political themes of the genre. The show was performed all over

Bensinstasjon has created stationary for Bergen based music producers Souldrop. We've developed logo and illustration elements, and set things up to get a nicely crafted, unique and highly recognizable visual identity.

Late, but good. Pictures from this summers Hove Music Festival in the South of Norway. Bensinstasjon created a signage system for the festival area roughly based on the festival identity, but with our own flavour to it. We wanted to gather information on easy-to-find towers, separate them from existing signs and create funny meeting points. The typo is Kada on used wood.
