Reaching the modern times and yoga drawings

Hi there! I have finally reached the modern days (5-10 years later than everyone else) and created a tumblr for my artwork and scribbles. These days I´m working on some yoga illustrations in watercolor. Feel free to check it out and follow if you´d like. I might update the tumblr a little more frequently in the future than this site :)

The Stitch

These days I´m art directing a 5 min informercial about " the multi generation house". The two architects Sophie Pahlen and Julie Reinau have come up with a concept for a new way of living and we are a small team working on making a film about the house. It´s totally old school cut out backgrounds and animation all the way through. This is our very first test of the characters and the environment together.

Little Gif Mermaid

I found out how to make gif´s in photoshop! 

This little mermaid was a rough concept for a client. They chose not to use this version so I used it to experiment with gif´s in photoshop. The animation is a quick rough animation done in TV paint...and then some psunami lovin in After effects.

The Noble Approach

Hi There! I have been busy with work so its been a while since I posted something. But today I found these sketches in an old sketch book and I thought they would make a nice post. They are from May 2012 where I attended Tod Polson´s master class in Design "The Noble approach" in Chiang Mai in Thailand. It was great week with lots of interesting lectures and exercises to work on. Here are some of my drawings from that week:
