"Endring på vei", illustration to a column in Ny Tid
"Endring på vei", illustration to a column in Ny Tid, written by Qandeel Siddique.
The text is about the election in Pakistan last weekend. The man in the left part of the picture is Nawaz Sharif, a Pakistani politician and industrialist who, after his party won the elections of 11 May 2013, is expected to serve as the next Prime Minister of Pakistan. However, many of the young, the educated and the female voters voted for Imran Khan, who represent the party PTI, who many see as more progressive and modern.

"Ja, jeg elsker" illustration to a column in Ny Tid
"Ja, jeg elsker" illustration to a column in Ny Tid, written by Victoria Uwonkunda. This column was published yesterday, one week before the Norwegian Constitution Day (17 may).
This was a quite challenging assignment, partly because of time pressure (the magazine had to be sent to print one day earlier because of kristi himmelsfärds-dagen), but also, the subject was a bit hard to summarize in a picture. It's an interesting topic, but a little difficult to encapsulate so I recommend you to read it yourself!
You can read the whole column in norwegian here: www.nytid.no/meninger/artikler/20130510/ja-jeg-elsker/

Poster - Mats Dimmings graduation concert!
This was a picture that I think was very fun to do, because Mats and I worked out the design together. Another nice thing is that Mats, Måns Allroth and Robert Henriksson, will play on my exhibition, at Gallery 39, May 24!

Dave Brubeck
Dave Brubeck
illustration for Orkesterjournalen #1 2013.
The jazz pianist and composer Dave Bruebeck died in december last year, at 92, and I made this portrait for an article about him in the latest issue of Orkesterjournalen.
I got the disc Time Out, from a friend from school and I've liked it ever since I listened to it the first time. Above all, the beautiful composition "Strange Meadowlark", which starts with a long piece of solo piano.
So it was sad to hear of Dave Brubeck's death in december last year. But I thought it might be nice to do some kind of tribute to him, in picture form. It all resulted in a picture that is now published with an article in Orkesterjournalen # 1 2013
The picture on the front of Time Out is painted by S.Neil Fujita (who made many album covers, including Charles Mingus' Mingus Ah Um ") and I painted a part of the painting, as a background for the illustration.
Another disc with the Dave Brubeck quartet that I can recommend, is Jazz Impressions of Japan:

Utställning på Karlstad Universitet
affisch till utställningen som pågår just nu (7 feb - 1 mars ) på Karlstads universitet. Plats: 3C 315, utanför Stilla rummet.
Tankeplanket
Den här veckan är jag reflektör av Tankeplanket på Karlstad Universitet. Såhär skriver de på tankeplankets hemsida:
"Tankeplanket vill ge en stunds eftertanke mitt i nyhetsflödet. På Tankeplanket kan vi alla skriva personliga betraktelser om veckans tema, betraktelser som kan ge förbipasserande läsare något att fundera över."
Jag har i bildform överfört mina reflektioner över förra veckans nedtecknade reflektioner.
