Gallery 1:10

In February I took part in a group show at Gallery 1:10 in Stockholm. The gallery space is located in a doll house wich is travelling to different places. Due to the dimensions of the gallery space, an everyday object – like an apple or a stone – can turn into a monumental installation. Gallery owner, artist and curator Anna Lidberg about the concept of the gallery: ›Our aim is to be able to reach an audience that might not always meet contemporary art and also to bring the art into places were it’s not often seen.‹

Landjäger Helden

I almost forgot to present the super nice special edition box by Landjäger Magazin from austria. My illustration was printed on a poster, a t-shirt and on the cover of the nice hand made box. Everything was printed and put together by the hard working hands of the Landjäger team in a limited edition. See the inside of the box below.

Good bye Konstfack good bye Stockholm

It is hard to believe, but my two years at Konstfack are already over. In a few days I will leave Sweden with a master degree in storytelling and a lot of different experiences. It has been a good time and it was great and inspiring to be surrounded by so many talented and hard working people. I will definitely miss my fellow students, the great facilities at school and the wonderful freedom of student life, but now it’s about time to get out of the cosy Konstfack bubble and head back to reality and freelance work.

Thanks to Konstfack and my new found friends for this exiting two years! Hope to meet you again in Berlin or wherever it may take me in the future.   

LEPIDOPTER RELEASE PARTY

There will be a small release thing for my comic album Lepidopter on friday night. If you are in the Stockholm area you are very welcome:

Grab a fruity drink, listen to some nice music, shake a leg, discover all the weird and wonderful things at Larry’s shop and buy a copy of Lepidopter for a super special release price of only 60 sek!

This might also be a good chance to say good bye before I pack my bags and head off to Berlin at the end of the month, so I hope to see all of you stockholmers there!

Snow Powder Tape

A few weeks ago the finished rolls of my Snow Powder Tape arrived. It’s a repeat of seven characters and symbols that work either in a row or also cut into pieces.

Comes in handy in any sticky situation!

Letterpress

I spent one day in the letterpress studio at Konstfack to use the school’s facilities as long as I have the chance to do so. The calm atmosphere in the workshop and the slow paste of this printing technique were just right to clear my head after all the busy weeks.

Forresten

You can find my short story ›The Glow‹ in the latest issue of the norwegian comic anthology Forresten. I had to translate the text to norwegian, therefore the title of the story changed to ›Gløden‹, and all characters suddenly use a lot of strange characters like ø and æ.

Artists who contributed in this issue are amongst others: Bendik Kaltenborn, Esben Titland and my three class mates Rui Tenreiro, Christian Brandt and Martin Ernstsen.

Above you see the nice cover, designed by Espen Friberg, below my 12 pages from the inside.

LEPIDOPTER

After four months of work my degree project LEPIDOPTER is finally ready for printing. It is a 32 page comic album in A3 size and it will be printed in an edition of 1000 copies. I’m going to sell it at several comic festivals this summer and hopefully you will also  find it in selected comic shops in europe and the USA soon.

More details about the story, the price and shipping costs will follow.

If you would like to get a copy, just send me a mail and I will send it to you as soon as it is back from the printer.

Master project presentation

I will present my master project ›Lepidopter‹ today from 15:00 until 17:00. A few minutes ago – at 03:27 – I finally finished the pdf for the presentation and feel just as awful as the character above right now. My opponent will be Alvin Buenaventura from Buenaventura Press. Cross your fingers that everything goes well.
