New year. New job. Illustration for av website. I had a list with all the different elements to be used, and so I came up with this composition. No storytelling, just forms put together.
This year I decided to paint instead of just putting colors between the lines. It took me 5 times longer to finish, but it looks better so then it's ok. :-) (hm, I tend to use the same colors. I don't know about that...)
I still find myself struggling with characters like this, maybe because I feel that this is not my field in illustration. But when I spend time enough making them right it is kind of nice after all.
I remember I painted together with one of my kids an afternoon when I made this one. On just an ordinary sheet of paper, done in a hurry. I used a picture of some guy in a newspaper as reference, and the painting kind of happened incidentally! But I'm very happy with it!
This week I received my application work from Norges Tegneforbund witch is The FineArt Association in Norway. Before I put them back in my pile of illustrations I might as well post some of the work here. It's an illustration for an oil company, obviously.
Today I ate rice cakes. Not since way back, when I was a kid, I have felt this taste. Strange and wonderful. I got this box from from a friend returning from a vacation in Seoul.

Things I do at work.
And these I made for a small brochure.
So far I have only posted 1 drawing this year. And this one drawing did my client not approve of, so I had to change it a bit. Here's the original and 3 of the others I made.
I love to tell stories with people in it.
In some years I hope to be able to visualize some of the beautiful stories I've learned to know from the Bible.
But as for now I find it very meaningful as a Graphic Designer in Laerdal Medical.
