MAGAZINE ILLUSTRATION - FHM France

For FHM France I did a 4 pages spanning illustration for a text about legal and illegal downloading. The brief was to draw a guy sitting at a desk with a computer in front of him towards which ribbons flow through the air in which things one can download are "entangled". Also, I had to include colours. With the brief I was given a sketch of how the layout had to look like. So far, so good.
Now here comes the cool thing: the guy on the computer is me! So I'm officially an FHM model. Haha. Yay!




MAGAZINE ILLUSTRATION - VICE Germany

For a VICE special guide on Hamburg I was asked to draw pictures of the Hamburg-based bands Bratze, 1000 Robota, Exits to Freeways and Digitalism which were interviewed for the guide. You can downlaod a PDF version here or pick up a copy in some trendy store. If you're currently in Germany that is...



MAGAZINE ILLUSTRATION - Standard Magazine

For the latest issue of Standard Magazine I was asked to come up with two illustrations.
The brief was to draw a picture of Niko Bellic - the hero from Grand Theft Auto IV - in an unusual setting or position. Well, I guess anybody who knows the game would agree that chilling in a sofa and playing a computer game is a very unusual setting for Mister Bellic.
For the second picture I was only given the main topic as brief and I thought that a burning house would fit the topic "pyromaniacs" pretty well.





Bling Bling

We finally installed the disco ball in the hall and I got myself a nice pair of matching trainers. Both, ball and trainers go very well with the S.O.S. Band I must say. :)

Norrlands Jewel

Over time I've drawn some pictures of one of my favourite Swedes who is a pretty good looking dude and therefore nice to draw. His hometown is situated in Norrland hence the title of the collection.



















Website - Henrik Andersson

I was asked to draw a portrait of designer Henrik Andersson for his website. Here it is:

Just a car in a ditch....

MAGAZINE ILLUSTRATION - USELESS Magazine

The illustration for Useless Magazine #8 followed a very clear brief: the magazine didn't have permission to use a photo of Damien Hirsts "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" so I was asked to draw the overprized shark instead.
