Magazine Illustration - INDIE magazine Dec/Jan 2010/11

2011-01-07T03:54:00.000-08:00

The topic here was "boredom". The client: the Austrian fashion magazine INDIE.

I wanted to make a fashion/fantasy/sci-fi mash-up drawing where I would tell a story in one picture. But the sci-fi part ended up being only a sketch (see last picture). Still I love the outcome. Maybe the best drawing of 2010. Yay.

The story: the Goddess of Boredom imprisoned the King of Fun and his entourage in her crystal prison because she felt threatened by him.

Creative Allies contest - Shirt for DJ Technician

2010-09-14T11:22:00.000-07:00

A while ago i descovered this website called "creative allies" that offers design competitions. It's really not that I have much time over for these kind of things but I decided to take part in one or two contests just for fun.

So I took part in my first creative allies contest where one was to design a t-shirt for dubstep dj "DJ Technician" from Ohio.
I didn't win which is a bummer because the winning design is ugly. Haha.
No seriously - it's ugly.

Anyway, these are my designs (which I still think are the best designs in the competition):

Installation for AVNA trend experience for PAUL FRANK

2010-09-09T10:31:00.000-07:00

The guys from AVNA trend experience designed the PAUL FRANK stand for the Bread&Butter fashion trade show this year in July here in Berlin and one part of the concept was a paper city of 10 square meters inspired by south California and Paul Frank that I built within 5 weeks out of ONLY paper, glue and tape. And a bit glitter.

I created a downtown area with skyskrapers and loft buildings, loads of single family houses, trees, plam trees, swimming pools, plants, a space center with a rocket and other stuff.

Also, if one googles one can find loads of pics from the actual fair. Like, for instance, here or here.

Further down you can see some behind the scenes pictures as well as a picture of Janelle Monae who played at the Bread&Butter (which definitely was one of the absolute highlights!) and the Sneakers Magazine loads of ppl picked up at the Magazine Lounge (which featured my pictures of Dave Cowens - see previous blog entry).

Here are some impressions of the work:

Skateboard commercial for iDeck - Create your own deck

2010-02-14T09:18:00.000-08:00

For the project "art meets board" which in turn is a PR project for iDeck me and other artists/illustrators/desigerns were asked to create artworks for skateboards to be later on used in a pr campaign for iDeck.

I decided to make 3D paper letters forming the sentence "throw your deck in the air and spin it like you just don't care" (because i love old skool hiphop too) and take a picture of that. :)

My board is soon gonna be visible on the website for "art meets board" as well as in the ad campaign in magazines such as PLACE.

So make sure you check out "art meets board" and especially iDeck to create your OWN cool skateboard.
Do it NOW and let your imagination run WILD!

2010-02-14T08:42:00.000-08:00

It wasn't quite easy and it had to be done rather quick but it turned out real nice.

My work (the tour poster for Betty Schön and friends) was on kiske a couple of days ago. I mean it still is, but one would have to scroll down quite a bit to see it.

Oh I was SO thrilled because I'm a big fan of kiske's tumblr site and I know that many, many ppl from all over the world check it out every day.

Brand new stuff I created over the holidays

2010-01-06T09:01:00.000-08:00

Here you can see mainly personal work but I actually couldn't stop working on the aka-aki stuff so here are some new things for the game - UNphotoshopped! Just plain photos. It's paper pizza, paper fast food, a paper old school radio (can be lit-up from behind due to transparent papers!! looks HOT!) and a paper chippy/chip shop/french fries joint. All paper!

And since I had been working so much with Margret and Martin from Nöjesguiden this past year I felt like immortalizing them with my black Sharpie marker.

Christmas card

2010-01-06T08:08:00.000-08:00

For a personal christmas card i teamed up with some people to create a snow globe scene. My part was to actually build the oversized snow globe. The cool thing: you can light up the small house from below. :)

Photo by the super talented Ulrich Hartmann
who is oozing street credibility. Hehe.

Model: Antonia for megamodelagency.com
Styling by Sebastiano Ragusa

(FYI: the second picture is a scan of the card with glitter on it .. I'm sorry that the picture here doesn't measure up to the brilliant colour of the real-life card...)

Game artwork - "aka aki GAMES"

2010-01-06T06:41:00.000-08:00

I mentioned it before: I'm currently working on a computer game artwork.
The game is called "aka-aki GAMES" and it's gonna be quiet a complex thing and so I don't wanna go into the details because that would take too much time.

What I can say is that I'm making everything that occurs in the game EXCEPT THE characters (they are done by someone else) out of paper. I'm actually building models of EVERYHTING. Be it building, car, tree, cake, .... you name it. It's A LOT of work but actually the stuff looks soooooo cool so far and I'm sure the game will look awesome once finished.

Also, the game is not completely ready, yet still we had a preview party in Berlin on the 17th of December in the 4010 shop with an exhibition opening where we showed some of my papercrafted "things". :)
Pics can be checked out by clicking here and some even better pics are here.

If you're in Berlin you can still check out the exhibition until the end of January.

Furthermore you can check out the game website with interviews with my colleagues and me. There is just one thing I want to say before I post the link: Roman, the guy who interviewed everyone, did NOT tell me that I had a strand of hair on my forehead which looks a bit .. uhm ... stoopid. But what else is new?!
Anyway, click here to check out the website.

Magazine Illustration - Nöjesguiden Dec/Jan - Part I

2010-01-06T06:40:00.001-08:00

OK, so for NG Dec/Jan I actually did 3 (!) different things:

1) the guest column as usual
2) enhance the cover photo with illustrations
and
3) illustrate the year-2009-list

This is the illustration for the guest text by Viktor Barth-Kron in full size.

Magazine Illustration - Nöjesguiden Dec/Jan - Part II

2010-01-06T06:22:00.000-08:00

For the cover I was given 4 different photos and first I decided to go with the photo later used for the inside spread (of course. haha).

Anyway, all details (parrot, speech bubble, the words "noll noll talet", pirate theme, title, magazine name, number) painted in acrylic colours.

Magazine Illustration - Nöjesguiden Dec/Jan - Part III

2010-01-06T06:08:00.000-08:00

Details in acrylic colours. Yapp.

When Sune Ehlers the AD of Euroman emails me I usually stop doing what I do and pick up the next pen to star drawing because he is a really nice guy AND it means I can start doing what I love: drawing.

For the january issue I drew 4 10x10cm portraits of ppl I have no idea who they are. Haha. Oh well as if THAT hasn't happened before. Haha

2010-01-05T17:26:00.000-08:00

For the November issue of NG I illustrated 2 things again: the usual guest column and a text about the new movie with Sylvester, Bruce and Arnold.

This is the illustration for the guest column. The text is about Roman Polanski and his past life that is treated with a certain double standard in the media world. Good text, good drawings! :)

You can heck out the online versions of both artiles by clicking here for the Polanski text and here for the movie text. Oh and it's in Swedish. :)

Magazine Illustration - KING November 2009

2010-01-05T17:17:00.000-08:00

Robby Williams on the cover but MY sh*t inside! HA! :)

What I really, really like about the KING jobs is the range: who else would ask you to illustrate texts about how to cook lobster, how to parallel park and how to become a rock star - and everything in one section.
I think it's just super (and challenging, which makes it super again). Thanks Niklas for working with me! :)

Not only did i draw a very, very nice picture of David Lagercrantz - no - I also was featured in a short interview in Euroman November.

The pics can be seen here, the interview follows later in a seperate post with the other 3 interviews I've given so far. (I'm a star. Obviously. Just kidding.)

Magazine Illustration - PLACE

2010-01-05T16:47:00.000-08:00

Just 2 posts further down I mentioned Holger, the AD of SNEAKERS and PLACE.
Well for Holger and PLACE I drew one of the best selling yet most ugliest shoes in - well let's face it - WORLD HISTORY (capital letters makes it sound grand). That's what the article is about. ;)

2010-01-05T16:28:00.000-08:00

I don't want to write too much.

Just let me say this: I LOVE BE STREET!

BE STREET ROCKS THE SHIT!

The topic of the issue is "Asia". Think East Asia. Think Japan.
The idea behind this spread is "Gundams" and accessories.
'Nuff said.

Magazine Illustration - Sneaker Magazine

2010-01-05T16:04:00.000-08:00

Some new magazine stuff! Yay!

As some of you might know I drew this portrait of the skater Brian Wenning for PLACE magazine a while ago.

See also here!

The cool things is that a lot of people seemed to like it because I discovered the picture reposted on several blogs worldwide and I also got some pretty cool feedback via email.

So Holger, the AD of PLACE, contacted me again because he needed some illustrations for an article in his second magazine - SNEAKER magazine. The mag really is about street fashion and especially sneaker culture.
The author of the article in question had interviewed porn producer Ali Lyck who is specialized in sneaker fetish films and now Holger wanted me to contribute with some classy drawings.
So I called up Ali Lyck and asked if I could draw a portrait of him and he was actually so nice to EXTRA take new photos for me I could translate into a drawing. Thank you very much and see you on some blogs worldwide! Haha

Magazine Illustration - Euroman October 09

2010-01-05T15:52:00.000-08:00

For Euroman October I drew 2 pictures:
One portrait of Michael Katz Krefeld and a small picture of a random cowboy for another article.
As you can see the portrait looks a bit different as my other Euroman portraits.
I'm thinking about pursuing this look in the future. Or at least experiment with it a bit. Looks kinda cool.

Magazine Illustration - Nöjesguiden September 09

2010-01-05T15:23:00.000-08:00

OK, before I tell you what I did for Nöjesguiden this time I should tell you this:

You might be wondering by now why it seems that I've only been working for EUROMAN, NÖJESGUIDEN and KING in the last couple of weeks. "Is he boring?" or "Is he lazy" you might wonder. But no: I'm neiter boring nor lazy. At least that's what i keep telling myself.
The thing is that some ppl developing a computer game saw my festival island and my sex statistic diagrams and asked me to exclusively work for them and create the artwork for their computergame and I said yes. Wooohoo.

But since i really really like EUROMAN and NG and all the people there and the challenging stuff for KING i simply couldn't stop working for those mags. On the other hand I didn't take any commissions from other mags for a couple of weeks....
Anyway. I don't wanna give away too much and will tell you more about the game in some later posts. (Besides, you will probably see me rise to stardom and fame anyway as soon as the game is released in early 2010. Ha!)

Having said that, here comes Nöjesguiden September issue's guest column illustration featuring a portrair of the very cool and nice Sandra Nelson (who just moved to Berlin. WELCOME SANDRA!!!) and some letters that are not so happy. Hehe.

Check out Sandras text here if you understand Swedish.

The second text I illustrated for this issue is a text about trends of how people use the search engine GOOGLE.
Again, there was a big part statistical stuff and some funny details so therefore I made a couple of diagrams and .. uhm ... some funny details. Out of paper.

If you understand Swedish you can check out the text here!

Magazine Illustration - Nöjesguiden August 09

2010-01-05T15:00:00.000-08:00

Nöjesguiden again. First off: Kristoffer Poppius' text number 3. This time writing about lying awake in a Stockholm suburb thinking about .. uhm .. stuff.

Besides the guest column I was asked to illustrate the guide "Welcome to Sweden". Some details are drawn and some are handicrafted again, to be exact: both Sweden maps.

So the first picture you can see below shows a 3D map of Sweden made out of different layers of foam. The map was photographed and photoshopped.
The second pic shows the Swedish king and Carolina Gynning who is kind of like a "star" in Sweden. Kind of.
The third picture shows a map of Europe, cut out of green paper with a small foam cut-out of Sweden.
The fourth pic was my layout suggestion and the fifth picture is a photo of the actual paper. YO!

Magazine Illustration - Euroman August

2010-01-05T14:57:00.000-08:00

For EUROMAN August i drew a portrait of Art Wilson but I just realized that I don't really have the actual copy of the July issue here. Oh well.

Magazine Illustration - KING August

2010-01-05T11:14:00.000-08:00

In this issue August 2009 issue of KING magazine you can see my drawings on 9 (!) pages. Cool, huh?!

This time Niklas Wendt, the AD of KING, had two projects for me:
1) For the regular "Manual" section 3 small texts had to be illustrated

and

2) The ppl at KING figured that illustrations in my drawing style would look pretty good in a 3-page article about status symbols throughout history.

First up, the "Manual" pictures with my lovely friend Lovisa as stewardess and my buddy Anders sitting in the washing machine:

OK, and now here we have the pictures for the status symbol text. You can see the actual drawings slightly colourized with photoshop as well as some layout sketches I made. (In the pics are my friends Gabriel, Nima, Anders, Princess Leia as slave and me with wig and black teeth.)

Oh and just in case you wonder what the status symbols were, here's a short list:
samurai hair-do, braguette, top hat, penny-farthing, blackened teeth, bird of prey, bronze neck ring, slave, periwig. If I had to choose I'd take the samurai hair-do. I guess.

Magazine Illustration - Nöjesguiden July 09

2010-01-05T10:54:00.000-08:00

Hejsan!
Kristoffer Poppius did it again! He wrote this issues guest column which featured - once again - some nice things such as people calling each other animal names, couples that rent cars together and appartments with 2 sleeping rooms. :)

After the big success of my little festival island and praise of the short amount of time I needed to put it together, Margret and Martin asked me if I would like to illustrate a bigger article once again and of course I said yes. This time the text was about a comprehensive statistical evaluation of the sex life of Scandinavians put together by RFSU (Swedish Association for Sexuality Education).

I knew that I wanted to do something with paper again and since the text contained a lot of statistics I figured the easiest thing to do is create some cool diagrams out of paper.
Of course it had to be done over night, but i finished in time and I have to say: I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. The whole things looks really great and finished. Cool shit!

Magazine Illustration - Be Street #5

2010-01-05T10:40:00.000-08:00

This is my second time contributing with drawings to the FABULOUS Be Street magazine which cleary is one of the best if not THE best street fashion and pop culture magazine out there!

I LOVE BE STREET!

This time I was asked to draw 3 specific models as, sort of, wanted posters. The whole spread was planned to be a collaboration with LEVIS but due to the financial crisis kicking in they didn't really have the money to start a one-magazine-only ad-campaign even though I was told they loved the artwork!

And you know what, I have to say I love it too. The details and everything worked out really really well. I'm proud!
Also, the spread got published anyway which is supergreat!

Magazine Illustration - Euroman July '09

2010-01-05T10:36:00.000-08:00

And Euroman again.
This time it's a portrait of author Tore Renberg.

Also, I drew 2 small portraits (for another article in the mag) of a Danish biker and a rather well known Danish sports journalist i forgot the names of . But than again I'm not Danish. :)

Magazine Illustration - Nöjesguiden June 09

2010-01-05T10:19:00.000-08:00

These are the drawings for this issues text by guest columninst Kristoffer Poppius.
The text has it all: drunk indians in Chile, cows on Gotland and people at Riche (bar in Stockholm) that we feel sorry for.

BUT that is NOT all this time.
Alright, now as you guys know I've been illustrating the guest column in Nöjesguiden a few times now and Martin and Margret from Nöjesguiden were quite happy with my stuff so they asked me if I could imagine illustrating a whole article. Or well, it was more like a big 2 page quiz about festivals and stuff.

Anyway, of course I said yes even though I only had, like, one day to actually do it. I figured I could never in the whole world draw something of that size in my realistic style so I decided to actually papercraft a festival island and take photos of it and use the photos as illustrations. And yeah, that is what I did and i finished in freaking time! Yo!

(rough layout sketch with the preliminary photos and 5 small drawings and island on my desk)

Oh and for this last minute shizzle I was named - tadah - EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH!

Magazine Illustration - KING June

2010-01-05T09:54:00.000-08:00

In May I was contacted by Niklas Wendt who is not just the art director of the Swedish fashion magazine KING (KING of Sweden) but also "Swedish Art Director of the Year 2008".
He asked me if I could illustrate 4 short texts in the magazine's "Manual"-section which is a regular part of the magazine with tips, tricks and short texts about everyday (and sometimes not so everyday) life. Sort of. He told me that it sometimes was a bit tricky to find fitting pictures for the texts and that he could imagine working with me on a regular basis if I do my job well.
Since then I've been creating quite a bunch of illustrations for KING and even I had to find out that it really isn't easy all the time to illustrate seemingly "simple" situations in life. :)

PS: In the pictures you can see my friends Aline and Hannes having a picknick, as well as me hanging out in summery clothes with my friend Anders. Hehe

Poster illustration

2010-01-05T09:41:00.000-08:00

MAGAZINE ILLUSTRATION .. and more! --> (llot llov)

For the Berlin-based multi-talented interior and product designing super crew LLOT LLOV I drew a picture of a guy in a suit in an environment furnished with their very own really hot furniture.
The illustration is going to be featured in the catalog of the Milan Furniture Fair Cosmit and in - hold yourself tight - PAGE magazine! Woohoo.

MAGAZINE ILLUSTRATION - Nöjesguiden 3/09

2009-04-07T08:01:00.000-07:00

For my second job with Nöjesguiden I got to illustrate a text by Daniel Nyhlén - this issues guest columnist - PLUS a second text by Johan Kellman Larsson who interviewed old classmates and teachers of 6 Swedish celebrities to find out if they were nice in school. :)

The illustrations even found their way to some websites. Check it out by clicking here and here and here.

MAGAZINE ILLUSTRATION - Standard Magazine

2009-04-07T07:43:00.000-07:00

Woohoo!! My favourite AD David (from the French FHM and Standard magazine) contacted me once again and asked me to illustrate TWO texts for their latest issue with the topic "Cosmos" (available in France only...): one about the new Virgin Galactic spaceship flight (attention: for rich people only! the costs are astronomical. hehe) and one about the cult sci-fi series "SPACE:1999" and the animated movie Wall-E.

For the first text I painted the Virgin Galactic spaceship (btw, it's name is Enterprise...) in earth orbit and for the second text I decided to let Wall-E play Space-Twister with Commander John Koenig and Doctor Helena Russell.

The perfect assignment for a Sci-Fi fan like me! Thanks David!
