<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I'm really a terrible
blogger, but on the other hand I'm glad I also have dayjobs enough to
pay the bills. It will take some more guts on my side before I dare
take the leap and actually take my work seriously. Blah, blah, blah.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Anyway, here is my latest
work for <a href="http://www.pyramido.org/">Pyramido</a>; album cover, inlay and a t-shirt design.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
This is the cover for
Pyramido's new album ”Saga”, which will be out this month.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I'm usually given a few
inspirational words or a picture to point out the general direction,
and this time I got the colour green and Hans Arnold's fantastic
cover for ABBA's greatest hits albums.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="en-US">There also came up
an idea about depicting the band members in animal shapes,and since
they're fond of the swedish phenomenon “fika”, which includes
coffee and pastry, I thought they should gather in the forest and
enjoy just that, around the camp fire.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="en-US">The surroundings are
scattered with details relating to the band and their collaborators
in different ways, and for the backdrop I drew inspiration from
renaissance art landscapes, from Giorgione, Dürer, Bruegel and their
likes. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="en-US">The album inlay also
required some illustration and I got the notion to stack the animals,
roaring, on top of each other, just like in the Grimm tale of the
Town Musicians of Bremen. The same picture is also made into a tote bag, shown here.</span></div>

The print will be on the front in a bloodish red.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And this is a concoction by <a href="http://www.pyramido.org/">Pyramido</a>, merely passed through the Anna- filter. Quite a tasteful filtering though. The bird on the pot is what we in Sweden call a "Kaffegök". The word is generally associated with little old ladies, cookies, crocheting and booze, or in this this case very, very old men with the same attributes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To my utter delight I was asked by <a href="http://graveyardmusic.com/s/">Graveyard</a> to make a poster for the Manchester gig on their tour with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Horisont/266451185025">Horisont</a>, starting tomorrow.

After the obligatory artistic agonies and a couple of killed darlings, this is what I came up with. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Lately I' ve been sorting out some of the vast family archives<br />
since work was a bit thin on the ground.<br />
When <a href="http://www.pyramido.org/">Pyramido</a> was to do some gigs with Lock-Up however, need arose for a new t-shirt.<br />
Hence, there came the sea-goat, a somewhat stupid creature of the deep sea, a cruel tool to make the bidding of his third eye. Or it was just an inspiration from Finding Nemo, which I had just seen with my daughter. It is silver on black and came out pretty damn nice.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
These last weeks I have been pondering what materials to use for a cassette- cover, believe it or not. The band is <a href="http://skogenbrinner.tumblr.com/">Skogen brinner</a> from Linköping, very agreeable indeed. <br />
They liked the cover for “Salt”, and gave me the cover of Ramases “Space Hymns” for inspiration, though with mountains rather than space. <br />
My mind as usual started tossing together things from the most disparate sources, and out came this: <br />
Bosch, Kittelsen, Tolkien's drawings, and the Roc from Arabian Nights blended, more or less.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjg7S2PIjCwD4EDLYDktGhRqciitL_ctel4wyJVd_JtspNBRfJ3m7fVqc-l_w57U3ctNwOsv89bAAoGVxdPlEOBiFzHzmLDj6epfAIsS8kj27doXqFhPPlyEqM0M39DY0Zo5umcMeQCbSi/s1600/Skogen+brinner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjg7S2PIjCwD4EDLYDktGhRqciitL_ctel4wyJVd_JtspNBRfJ3m7fVqc-l_w57U3ctNwOsv89bAAoGVxdPlEOBiFzHzmLDj6epfAIsS8kj27doXqFhPPlyEqM0M39DY0Zo5umcMeQCbSi/s1600/Skogen+brinner.jpg" /></a></div><br />

My guidelines were : white, sci-fi, 70's and desert, if I remember correctly. My inspiration was a little bit of Star Wars, Terry Gilliam movies and to some extent The Princess Bride for some reason or other. Reactions from reviewers and friends so far span between high praise and utter disgust. Everything Pyramido aimed for, then.<br />
It´s hard to do the colours justice in this medium, they aren´t quite as garish as shown here.<br />
<br />
<br />

Cover design for <a href="http://www.myspace.com/pyramidodoom">Pyramido</a>, 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.<br />

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.<br />
