Hi there! The reason for my increasingly rare posts on my blog is that I’m working on a completely new website for myself. When my new site is out it will contain my most recent work, e.g. silkscreen poster for 4H and a flora of medicinal zulu plants.

This is an instructional video intended to show you how to fold the lobster alien from my comic strip Nano. You can download a pdf with the parts by clicking the link below. I’ve also made parts for the space squid from the same comic – download below, but the folding of that one’s pretty self explanatory. The cut-out-aliens are made by me and Katrine Øverlie Svela. Hope you like them!
The music in the video is made by Whale Shark Attacks.

Håkon Bleken – Kulltegninger
November 8th, 2011Håkon Bleken (82) is one of Norway’s most recognized artists. He’s best known for his paintings (I’ve always preferred his drawings, though) and several books on this subject already exists. This book I did for Dreyer Forlag, Oslo, focuses on his charcoal drawings and contains over a 100 drawings and an essay by Tone Hansen. Håkon Blekens official site.

«HVA NÅ» – artist’s book
November 8th, 2011«HVA NÅ» is an artist’s book by Guttorm Guttormsgaard, and can be considered as a follow-up and a supplementary book to last year’s «ARKIV» (2010). It differs from «ARKIV» in that it deals more with documentation of the 60 exhibitions at Blaker Meieri from 2006-2011 (including the well received exhibition at Bomuldsfabriken Kusthall, Arendal in 2010) than the various items themselves.
The book has two parts that meet in the middle. It can be flipped around and read from both directions. The title is punched out on both sides with the addition of Roman numerals I and II. The spine is revealed and the two parts of the book are shown with different colors. The book is also sown with two different colored threads.
The book contains photographs by Guri Dahl, Espen Tveit, Kai Gjelseth, myself and many more. It also contains poems and essays written especially for this book by Torgeir Schjerven, Torgeir Rebolledo Pedersen, Einar Økland, Guttorm Guttormsgaard + +

Illustrations and t-shirts for Arcon 27
April 4th, 2011I did the brochure for this year’s Arcon – the biggest game festival in Norway. This year’s theme is “Tales of Arabian Nights”, so in addition to the cover, the brochure contains a number of illustrations inspired by the theme. Here’s the cover and a sample spread. I also made illustrations for the festival t-shirts which are at the end of the slideshow.
