For the 16th

I´ve animated Our Christmas card from two years past.

13th of December; let it snow.

Unfortunately, there is no snow in London at the moment, however it is snowing on my TV-set.

It is a shame with all digital TV nowadays, you don´t get this anymore.

Anyway, happy 13th of december and enjoy my little animation.

Zeps - "Time2Spit" music video

Over the summer, I made the masks used in this video. Good stuff.
Enjoy this and more on my vimeo

Sing a song of sixpence...

Sing a song of sixpence
a pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds,
Baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing;
Wasn´t that a dainty dish,
To set before the king?

The King was in his counting house,
Counting his money;
The queen was in the parlour,
Eating bread and honey.

The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes;
When down came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose. 

They sent for the king´s doctor,
Who sewed it on again;
He sewed it on so neatly,
The seam was never seen.

getting down to the details...

I am sure that we all are aware of the horrible tragedies that took place both in Oslo and on Utøya island the 22nd of July 2011, just a little less than a week ago. It is hard to state the shock that we´ve been struck with, and we are all lost for words. It was not only a blow for Norway, but a blow to the entire political sphere. The mood in oslo can be felt, it is all so quiet. In silence for the victims of this tragedy. 

I made this illustration to help us not forget, but to stand up united, united not only in tragedy, but united against our oppressors, fight for our rights. We have the freedom of speech and the freedom to have any political view our hearts may desire. Let it be a reminder to use our political rights, do vote, you do have a say. My deepest condolences go out to those involved and their families.

portraiting on.

Keeping on keeping it on, here´s yet another update to my collection of portraits.
This one is my friend Jeremy from Alabama.

BEATS, BEATS & AFROBEATs

Few could disagree with the recent resurgence of electronic interpretations of world music. From the Kudaro bass of Buraka Som Sistema to a new wave of Cumbia and a welcomed comeback for tango-infused Gotan Project, even Gilles Peterson is back on the beat with a label hitting the high notes Talkin’Loud once did. On that tip, we are delighted to serve up a real heavy hitting BBQ of global beats from two talented artists representing Goa, Chile, Berlin, Ldn & Glasgow - places that undoubtedly filter into their explosive and highly regarded productions & live shows. Don’t play the fool if your in the Abz area, come and show your support for the prestigious global beat talents fLako and Auntie Flo this May 13th! Poster by SIO.


FLAKO live (Brownswood, Project Mooncircle / Berlin, DE)
Chile born and now living between Berlin and London, FLAKO is one of Europe`s top beats producers - whoever you ask within the beat world will give you the same answer. Though first appearing on Beatnicks Vol.2 with his banging "Inside" track, it was not until his outstanding "Vortex Cookies" remix in late 2008 that the world took notice. His take on the Robot Koch produced track, w/Cerebral Vortex vocals, has been championed by Gaslampkiller, HudMo and many more and was labeled "Track of the year" by Jay Scarlett. Renowned for being straight KILLING IT live, he plays out as energetic as it gets and far away from Laptop staring boredom. So far the likes of Vilnius, Koln, Amsterdam, Vienna and London have witnessed his talent in effect. Be sure to catch him for the first time in Scotland!

AUNTIE FLO (Huntley & Palmers, Slabs of The Tabernacle / Glasgow, UK)
Hailing from Goa by way of Glasgow, Auntie Flo (aka Brian D'Souza) takes in influence from anything as far flung as Villalobos, Four Tet and Caribou, to Fela Kuti, William Onyeabor, and kwaito, alongside Kode 9's Hyperdub, Chicago house from Fast Eddie, Tyree Cooper, etc. More recently Matias Aguayo's Comeme imprint and some of the current movers and shakers from the UK scene. His latest release just dropped on Huntley & Palmers (the first release on the label) & has so far gathered great support from the like of Villalobos, Jackmaster, Sinden, Caribou, Joy Orbison and Egyptrixx due to it's old school tribal house vibes and stripped down funk. We are happy to announce that he will play a live set & DJ on this night.

some drawing...

I feel like I´ve not done much characters lately, therefore...



...here´s a drawing I just did.

Egg painting for easter.

Continuing the tradition from last year, I managed to squeeze in the time to paint an Easter egg.
If you don´t remember last year´s egg, here´s a reminder: 2010 easter feaster

 This year, I wanted to go for something a bit different. Still with an animal theme, I wanted to play on a couple of other strings. The initial idea was to have some bunnies banging, then out come an egg. WTF? right? However not being at home with my art supplies I went another route. (incredibly difficult to paint without any brushes) In Norway, we love our Crime/ murder mysteries for Easter. Agatha Cristie has got some popular ones, Poirot being one of the personal favorites. Now you know what sort of feel I went for. Therefore I bring you..... (drumroll)

...Mystery (possibly a detective) Hare!

Enjoy your holidays and don´t go overeating on that Marzipan.

Only a few tees left..

You can still pick one up here:

Portraits, portraits.

Sorry for not updating in a bit and then suddenly bombarding you with new things.
I guess that only goes to show that i´m working on a lot of projects simultaneously.

With that in mind, I´ve been working on a bit of portraiture, sort of trying to define my own style and take on it. Please do let me know what you think of it.

And if you do need one for yourself, drop me a line by clicking the envelope on the right hand side.
