Sommer kommer

Mixed media illustration "Sommer kommer" Finished it today.

Work in progress. Time?

For the time being I am doing a lot of reading, writing and researching. 4 of my 5 classes at school are heavily relying on theories and the practice of writing about ideologies, art movements and where I fit into the world as an artist. These are really interesting subjects that over and over again blows my mind the more I learn about it. Yet I am sorely missing my creative practice of producing art constantly. So I am really making an effort into creating my own props and art assignments. Here is the result of one I started working on a while ago, but haven't had time to finish yet. I hope to finish this sooner rather than later, and show you the finished work here on my blog. As I now have finished the first parts of my thesis (my bachelor assignment in Illustration) research and decided on my statement, I will be sharing sketches and planning of my thesis work here, so that you can follow me in my process. Over the next 9 months I will be steadily working towards a series of illustrations that will become the end of my four years at the Pacific Northwest College of Arts. Ready? Bring it on!

Food Mekka, Group thinking, Peter Pan

Here is a series I did where the assignment was to create 3 illustrations that would go along with 3 different articles from the New Yorker. What do you think the different images talk about?

Group thinking

This is for an assignment I finished yesterday where we had to illustrate a 2 by 4 inches image to go along with an article from the New Yorker. The article was about group thinking.

Back to the basics: sketching the figure

Three 5 min sketches I did yesterday at a model session, I added colors afterwards.

Animation Installation times two

Here are two animations I did in May 2011. It was the first animation installations that I had ever done, and my first gallery experience. I learned that just setting up the technical equipment is really tricky and takes a LOT of time! I had a cent(smell) in the room that was a part of guiding the audience to feel what I wanted them to feel, affecting them in as many ways I could. The same goes for the lighting with candles.
