Golden oldies

So. Got something to do already (thanks Klara!), and while awaiting the release of the new Pyramido album before I publish my most recent work for them here, I continue with the less recent.

Firstly, here we have my t-shirt design for Kamikatze from 2008. Still like it!

A simple logo for The Quiet Sings, 2009.

Cover design for Pyramido, 2009. They wanted a menacing-looking elephant and according to the reviews for the album, of which many commented the cover, I gave them one! It's nice indeed to know when you've hit your mark with something.

Same elephant as t-shirt.

My latest t-shirt design for Pyramido (2010) was a bit off the beaten path, so to speak. After an internal joke, of which there are many in that band - trust me, I got the assignment to draw an "apkatt". This is my interpretation. I guess I thought of those weird Victorian illustrations in children's books, Aesop's fables and such like.

OK, that's it for now. Still more to come. /A.

A Start

A self taught illustrator of sorts, until now primarily doing design work for bands of my acquaintance. Is at present attempting to make it on my own and this blog is the first step.

I work with the classic tools: pen, ink and brush on paper, take inspiration from many sources after studies in art- and book history and is up for jobs of any size.

To start with, I'm posting some of the older work of my production, both computer finished and just scanned originals.

This is the cover, front and back, for the record Hidden Wings with the band Silent Scream. Never released, but a nice cover all the same (2006). I also did some drawings for the booklet, to be posted later.

A 1970's- scented poster for the excellent band Pyramidos' first gig in 2008.

An ambigram T-shirt design for the eminent band Witchcraft (2009) which was printed purple on black. Medieval manuscripts and 16^th century woodcuts was the triggers.

Poster for a gig in 2009 with Sanctuary in Blasphemy, Sonic Ritual and Wraptors. I get inspiration from band names as well as their music, in this case especially the former. The occult is always near at hand, it seems.

T-shirt design for Pyramido (2010), sprung in equal measure from Yggdrasil and the Tree of life/knowledge. This is how it looked in print.

More to come and the more work the merrier me!
