Zombie Potatoes!!

I spend most of my working hours now a days at a fantastic little game studio called HelloThere! I started working for them late summer 2013 and have had the chance to work on a big variety of games since then. We have lots of stuff in development and its often all about the quick sketch Straight into production. Here are a few things related to the recent release of a great little game called Zombie potatoes. It's free! iOS and Android

A little line-up

Here's a little line up of some stuff coming down the road.

The new Cazzette single!

Sleepless by Cazzette!

The new Cazzette single is hot out of the oven and I'm glad I got the opportunity to help a little through my postion at HelloThere. I did the illustration for the Cover on this one. A fine little group of people to work with up at At Night. Wanna sing a long to this catchy tune? They made a lyrics animation of the illustration as well. Right here!

Avicii | Gravity

Had the grand honour of working with Hello There on Aviciis game Gravity. I Art Directed, did concepts and some final 3D bits for the game. The project was crazy tight but a great amount of fun. Get your swiping thumb all greased up, you'll be needing it!

Showreel

Here's a show-reel summing up animations I did around 2012 and 2011. Have a glance and keep in touch if you're looking for some animation.

 

Munken och Kulan

My dads charming duo is back in a new book! For those of you unaware of these guys I can tell you that the "real" Munken & Kulan is told by Åke in front of a live audience. These performances are recorded and sold. Back in the day it was recorded on cassettes, now on CD's. There are more than 35 CD now with two stories on each CD. The CD's alone have sold more than a whooping 100000 copies! That's just crazy. This is the third book made from the stories. But I have to admit: it's much better to listen to it and get your own mental image than to look at these things. Long live the classically told stories.

Portfolio 2013!

This is the my portfolio for 2013. Click the big front picture and then flip through the pages in the lightbox!

New rule!

To keep my portrait up to date I've set a new rule. Need to paint a new one every time I change glasses. That's really not that often since the last time I changed was about six years ago, I think. But here's the new pair. Let's see how long I can keep these bad boys.

PS: No fancy making of video like last time. Sorry. This computer isn't really up to the whole capturing and painting simultaneously standards. Hope to upgrade some time in the not too distant future. Then I'll make some new ones.

Starstruck!

Had the grand joy of ending up exchanging a few electronic letter with non other than illustrator guru Svein Nyhus. He talked to me about the gravity of strong styles in illustration and how it effects the expression about finding your style and getting inspired by others. He had lots of great thoughts in the matter and it was all very inspiring. I'm finding my own creations very dull and uninspired from time to time and I need to step out of my comfort zone  Its of course a long process to change and clarify your voice. I haven't got much further since our talk but I feel very inspired. Have been sketching a lot lately trying to get in shape for the summer and autumn. Searching for new exiting project now. So if you happen have one. Give me a call.

Some scetch'n:

A big leap

Here's one example of a series of illustrations for Salming who are heading into some new territory. Now log of and go out there and exercise for a bit and you might just end up as fit as this guy. Some speed lines like this would definitely make running a bit more fun. Maybe just running naked with no eyes would make the run a bit more interesting? Find your style!
