For our forthcoming exhibition, we performed some serious field studies of trolls in the their natural habitat, in an attempt to get a better understanding of their behaviour and ecology. We had a feeling we were on to something, but our findings surpassed our wildest expectations. As these extraordinary snapshots clearly show: Trolls do NOT [...]

In the “Mass Effect” illustration for the gardening column in D2 magazine I knew I needed three things: A mass of rubble, a stylish girl and a gun. People with guns are one of the most clichéd subjects I can think of, and a lengthy search on the internet did not do much to lighten my [...]

Our beloved client Mette Møller was amused, but not entirely convinced by our carpentry skills, so we agreed on a slightly different approach.

First sketches for a new textile pattern made for Mette Møller. Inspiration is drawn from the 50′s song book “Syng med Barna” (Sing with the Children) and this strange little poem: Den som er liten og ikkje fer sove, han kan gå i skogen og byggja seg ei stove, ospelauv og bjørkelauv det skal han [...]

First sketches for the Norwegian Weather pattern made for fashion designer Mette Møller’s summer collection 2009. We wanted to make something very Norwegian to emphasis on the origin of her clothes, and chose the ever changing Norwegian weather with 70′s prefab houses as a theme.
