I’ve just started my final project at the Danish Designschool. I’m going to work with implementing illustrations in the online edition of the Danish newspaper Politiken. I rarely see any illustration work made exclusively for the online editions, and I think it’s about time that we do.

These first examples were made without taking the layout limitations into notice. I guess I was just doing one last free assignment before succumbing to rules and regulations
The illustrations aren’t used on the site, but maybe one day some of my work will be. who knows?

The articles are about surveilance of the Danish Population, and the original articles can be found (in Danish) here

One of the last illustrations from my school project that ends this friday. It’s from an article about how your boss should be tough enough to fire employees when necessary, but also be considerate and caring.

This is an example of the Newspaper cartoon project I’ve been working on. Most of them have involved Danish society, so they wouldn’t have made much sense translated. This one is pretty self explanatory I think

I did these for a competition where the winning artist gets to illustrate about 80 different songs.

In true movie-sequel style I’ve chosen to make another robot poster. I rarely find the time to do personal projects, which it seems is every designers regret. When I do find the time to do exactly what I want, I also think the passion shows. I’m quite satisfied with this, and would love to do commisioned work like this!

I asked my teacher to give me another caricature assignment. He told me to do Samuel Beckett, and at first I didn’t remember how he looked, but when I googled him I immediately remembered his face. And what a face he had!

An illustration for an article about how teens spend a lot of time on games, internet etc. and how it isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

I have made a self portrait as part of my project on caricatures. I’m really beginning to rely on shading via clipping masks, which Chris Leavens helped me understand in this article he wrote, describing his workflow.

I’m working on a project where I’m working as a newspaper cartoonist, and I’m trying to make caricature work for me. Some of the critique I’ve gotten is that I should stick to drawing with vectors, so that’s what I’m trying to do here. I think it came out ok.

The Danish Design school is hosting its’ annual christmas market on december 4th.

I’ve bought a stand and I’m currently working on a series of prints I’ll be selling there.

I looked at one of my older vector drawings (also on the blog somewhere) and got inspired to do a whole lot more of them.
