The White buses

The 9th of May, there will be a great day at the cathedral here in Gothenburg. Where we will focus on, and talk and show the white buses. A rescue operation to free inmates from German concentration camps at the end of WWII, led by Folke Bernadotte. Actually the event will begin already tomorrow on Friday! Outside the church there is a bus in 1:1 scale whiteout it actually being there! It's really cool! Inside there is an exhibition that I've been involved in producing. So if you are in the neighborhood, check it out!

Take care!

A quick, how things are going!

I just wanted to let you know that I’m still here! The character design is coming along nicely, although it is going extremely slow, but I will get there. I have a plan for the update of the portfolio, it might come sooner than you think...!

In the meantime I’ve been curating another exhibition, more info coming soon!

Take care!

Proof of my curating capabilites?

Well, sometimes things fall right into your lap!

A few weeks ago I was asked if I could take care of an exhibition, that will be held in the Gustavi cathedral here in Gothenburg! Of course I said yes, and since then I’ve been looking at the existing material and finding new stuff. So basically I became a curator!

Well, uh, truth be told, what I’ve really been doing is to assist in the curating of this exhibition! But in my ears the assisting part is kind of silent!

So if you are in the vicinity I’d suggest you to visit an awesome exhibition of the cathedral through time, from the past to the present!

The exhibition will open at Saturday, March 7th 11.30 at the Gustavi cathedral in Gothenburg!

Welcome!

Take care!

Updates anyone?

Well, what can I say. As I’ve written before there have been some changes in my life that will affect my blogging activities. So therefore I have decided that my updates will be on a whenever-I-can-basis!

In doing so I hope that it will be quality and not quantity, here on the blog (...stop laughing!).

And as you probably knew the design process is still ongoing! Although I might be closer to an end result, than I was a few weeks ago...!

Take care!

The pose...

...for some days I’ve been trying to find a decent pose to get the character in the mood of things. To try it out. To see how it feels. It’s hard finding that pose, until I decided that I could steal it! Yes, there you have it, he who steals, gets!

I’m not to proud of this realization, but if it gets the job done...! The pose worked by the way, and the character also!

Take care!

Finally

I’m back on track and continue with the character design. It took some time, but maybe it was needed, probably it was.

I will probably not post works of the process here, during the process, I tend to play with the cards close to my chest, if you know what I mean.

Take care!

Charlie Hebdo

Today I heard of this attack against the French magazine Charlie Hebdo. My thoughts are with the victims and their families. I hope that this blow at the freedom of speech and criticism will not be the conquering one. I hope that freedom of speech and criticism will stand tall and strong.

I also hope that the journalists and critical cartoonists out there that are under pressure will find the strength to continue their important work.

One last thing, although I’m a man faith I find that criticism of religion is very important. Because a critical or satirical view of a subject might be a completely different view than your own, and therefore you might get a different take on things. And this new take might make you grow, as an individual.

Take care!
