If I Had A Hammer…

I’d hammer in the morning, I’d hammer in the evening… Seriously! Our beloved client Mette Møller was amused, but not entirely convinced by our carpentry skills, so we agreed on a slightly different approach. The final ad (which, we must admit, is more structurally sound) can be seen in the OFW magazine to be launched at the Oslo Fashion Week. See the final illustration here.

Compost Sketches

Some sketches for the “Ugress” gardening column in D2 magazine. The article was basically about composting, and the odour challenges thereof. The composition was really simple, meaning everything had to rely on a clear and strong pose. Bottom: The final illustration, which also can be seen in full colour here.

Hollywood Hair

bjorn — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 22:00:39 +0000

This illustration was for an article on Hollywood hair. I wanted to do something with the huge wavy hair style of the lustrous bombshells of the Golden Age, and used the (very platinum indeed) Veronica Lake for reference. I decided upon a monochrome look, and gave the face and the trees a slightly washed out look, to bring more sheen and volume to the hair. For the background I added some palm trees from the Sunset Boulevard.

Above: For reasons unknown, there was a moment of frenzy after the first sketch.
