I knocked this together tonight. Its for an event I will be hosting in the fall. I was inspired by the famous Jack Daniels bottle

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’ve finally had enough spare time on my hands to make an illustration, just for fun.

I got inspired from the typical end-scene from the Lucky Luke comics, where the lonesome cowboy rides into the sunset. The idea of people riding giant robots has been with me for some time, but I haven’t been able to use it in anything worthwile. I really like the way it turned out, because It’s usually really difficult for me to keep it simple (which is propably why I felt compelled to bring it through photoshop in the end and put some texture and background on it).

I didn’t get nominated!! Damn it all to all kinds of places!
With that out of the way, I’d like to share the submissions I made in collaboration with photographer Jonas Lodahl. I ended up only submitting tWo of the illustrations, but I thought I might as well show it all here.

The idea was to mix photography and traditional illustration in a way that wouldn’t categorize that artworks as to belonging to either category. The technique applied was the same to all three: Hand-drawn illustration, coloured in photoshop, blended with digital photos. The picturesque setting is a forest called Dyrehaven just outside of Copenhagen.

I made this as a sketch for a banner. It’s an excellent example of how you can keep working on something that  you should’ve killed in the beginning. It’s a banner for my blog and that’s why I wanted it to be something weird that also portraits the style I work in (mixing illustrator/photoshop etc). I’ve decided to go with something else instead, and I’ll be sure to post it here when it’s done. For now, I give you… Bearcod!.. or Codbear?

yes, yet another old photo effect. This time it’s the picturesque landscape of Denmark, complete with white church. Made for the Danish Purchasing and Logistics Forum. Illustrator and Photoshop

This is a present for a friend. I really like mixing typical cartoony illustration with photos. And I’m really growing fond of the ‘old photo effect’.

Lovable tramp taking a stroll

old sketch i decided to color, using color pencils. I thought it would be a bit too plain on it’s own so I found a wood texture at cgtextures. I think it’s pretty good together with the cheezy cowboy motif

I’m working on a bunch of characters for at museum in Stockholm, Sweden. They’re going to have an exhibition about the environment, and they’ve hired me to illustrate the entire exhibition, including a large mural. This is exactly the sort of stuff I want to do more of!
