Don't Cry Wolf Release Poster

A poster for the releaseparty of the Don't Cry Wolf cd. It's based on 80's skateboard graphics as same as the cd. The text below is there to make the illustrated text more readable for the untrained eye. But I can assure you that it says approximately the same above in the bloody illustration.

I went a bit crazy on this cause I got a lucky deal, so I printed it in four different sizes. Flyer: 210x74,25mm, normal poster: 70x25cm, medium big: 174x61cm and the big one: 200x76cm! As you can see from the photos, the big and rectangled size did it more efficient to put it up, as it covered a bigger area on the board, so we didn't have to put up 5 of them to make it more visible. It also saved us money on printing. All in all a good advise!

Manhattan Skyline

Cover and booklet art for the band I play in. Done together with my buddy Fredrik Melbye. It's basically based upon the title of the cd "Curses". We wanted to do it black and white, but not only B/W, so we did some of the illustrations in uv coating as well on the cover to give it a bit more dimension and feel. There's also added a silver pantone color to some of the text and elements.






The booklet is a fat one! 24 pages with illustrations that visualizes the text. Fredrik and I talked a lot about doing the illustrations combining both pictures and drawings, so that's what we did. I basically did all the drawings while Fredrik put together collages, then we mixed them together till we were satisfied. Here's some of the spreads.

Manhattan Skyline T-shirt

Here is the t-shirt. Not much left to say. It's based on the idea and print on the cd-design.

Safari yoghurt

My first game! I remember when my teacher in the fourth grade told us to draw what occupation we thought we would have when we grew up. I drew myself as a creative game developer. Well, that's not that far from where I am today. Not after this project anyhow! I mainly did all the illustrations together with Henning at Suddenly Oslo. Simen, at the same agency, flashed the whole thing. Great bunch of people!





An interactive advertisement game for Yopait Safari yoghurt. This is a game for them kids. The first of four. The story: A big lump of ice have slid into the ocean, causing the sea level on the "Safari island" to increase. The animals in the jungel are worried about how this will affect them and the island in the future, and they want to do something about it. The first task is for you to drive the monkey through the jungel so that he can deliever the message to the elephant. YOU CAN TRY IT OUT HERE! Good luck!

Don't Cry Wolf

The new e.p. for Don't Cry Wolf. Illustrations based on old 80's skateboard graphics. The whole cover is based upon a wolf's one-second-story. From when the wolf get shot, till it's dead.
Front cover illustrates the entrance of the bulletwound, and the entrance to/birth of his life:


The innside is basically further down the wound. With the slime, guts and all... The other stuff (bugs, deer, fog, moon...) represents things the wolf has seen in his time alive. His life flashes before his eyes, as we say:


The print on the cd is him running in some sticky, bloody slime. Away from danger, down towards freedom:


The back of the digipack shows the wolf dead with the songtitles splattered on the wall behind him. If you can't read the titles, it says: «Speed Thai, Facial Friendship, The Last Computer Kid, Second Solution, Fire Occasion, Next To Come and Million Men March»:

Suddenly Oslo

Did a quick ad for Suddenly Oslo, a digital communication agency. They are in need of some extra help. The text is set up as a quote.

City Slangzine logo

The logo is based upon a grotesk, but I altered the corners to make it more organic. Its classic and clean style brings out the contrast to punk, and the irony to fashion.

KRIG

A font for the Oslo based punkrock magazine, City Slangzine.
It's based on this issues header; WAR (between the bands in Oslo). The font is inspired by chaos in war. The random movement of a stroke that emerges from one action and becomes a chaotic pattern. This issue (#5) is also the first City Slangzine in colour, and is being sold in Narvesen stores around Norway. Props! I will make more fonts based on the theme of the issue as they come out.
