Comfort Hotel XPRESS #2
- Lobby STOP sign, in the stairways of the Hotel XPRESS, was painted because some guests had problems to find the way out to the main entrance and lobby, so they continued down in the basement. Something which could be fatal during an fire evacuation. Therefore I had to paint some nice signs, telling the guest where to get off the stairs.
- The hotels touchscreen tv, Xpress Concierge, contains information about the hotel, events in the area and cool places to visit in Oslo. This touchscreen needed more attention, so I had to paint something around the tv.
- The Tiger Records typography was painted on a pedestal in the lobby, where Tiger Records, a LP shop, showcase some of their LP's for sale. 2012 Design, Painting, Visual Arts -
22 July Memory Poster.
This poster was made in relation with the trial of a monster, and the terrible terror attacks he conducted in Oslo and Utøya in Norway the 22nd July 2011. I will forever be proud of the way Norway reacted to this incident, and my warmest thoughts goes out to the victims and relatives.
"To me, 22nd July is only an important memory of flowers and care. Rest In Peace! "
But, when this is said, I'm not happy with some of the decisions that's been made prior to and during the trial. The poster can be viewed as a reaction to the censoring of the trial in the Norwegian media. The truth is rarely pretty, but it must not be hidden!

The Rolls-Royce Project
(PS: This project was for a private customer!)
A collector wanted his Rolls Royce Silvershadow '68 to be painted as a replica of John Lennon's infamous Rolls Royce Phantom. So I was asked to custom paint the car. The poster and booklet was ment to be used at exhibitions and such, featuring the car Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of the car when it's finished yet. But I'll upload them as soon as I got them ready.
I owe Jørgen Rodem, Stein Henriksen and JTMS9 a big thanks for all the help. Also, thanks heaps to Kongsberg Billakk verksted for all the paint and Bjørn Thomas Høen for trusting me enough to actually let me paint his Rolls Royce. And I reckon I should say thanks to Jørgen's parents as well, for letting us use their garage as a painting workshop for nearly two months. 2012 Graphic Design, Typography, Painting -

ERASE Exhibition
ERASE was an installation artwork made by students at Deakin University in 2010, as a part of the Kaleidoskope arts season.
In "ERASE" the audience became the somnambulist invited to negotiate a world where anything can happen. They became part of a world where the familiar becomes unknown and the the unknown resolves into the ordinary.
Equipped with UV torches, the audience was sent into the total dark exhibition space, and was challenged to experience the room using the UV light. Glow in the dark motifs had to be charged with the uv light to glow and shine, while fluorescent motifs was only visible when pointed at directly with the UV torches. One of the walls was completely covered in glow in the dark paint, allowing the audience to decorate the wall using the torch as a brush. The audience could draw with the trorch and make silhouettes, and in that way interact with the room on a personal level.
The ERASE exhibition was made by:

Crime Cities
After several recent criminal events in Oslo such as rape, murder, robberies and violence, I designed this poster. It's a statement to the society, that if nothing happens soon, Oslo is good on it's way (put on the edge) to be as criminal as the infamous Gotham city from the Batman comics.

TivoliAudio 10th Anniversary
This was my contribution for Tivoli Audio's 10th anniversary billboard contest hosted by Designboom. The winner would get his/her bilboard featured on Times Square in December month 2010. Unfortunately I didn't won, but I made it to the top 30 and was ranked among the top 3 out of
the particpants from my country. (Norway)
Henry Kloss is an important person for TivoliRadio, and I decided to design a clean and stylish billboard who shows "the Henry Kloss evolution", which features the radios from model one till model 10. Model one is portrayed as a small radio while model ten is the biggest. This has nothing to do with their real sizes, it's a way to illustrate the evolution. I used a real photo behind the illustration of model 10, this is to show the new model as it is, and to separate it from previous models. The white, simple and clean design really stands out in a positive way, as a contrast to the chaos on Times Square, and there's no doubt it's a TivoliAudio billboard. The billboard are also a tribute to Henry Kloss. 2011 Graphic Design, Illustration, Advertising -
Victory Consert.
Victory Consert is a drug-free and non alcoholic consert for the youth in Oslo.
The concept was started by the founder of the Moonwalker Danceschool, Jonathan Bjørland, and was started to provide the youth a place to be and something else to do other than just hanging around in the streets making trouble.
The consert is being held in the south/east of oslo, wich is a area with a lot of youth criminality with gang affiliation. 2011 Graphic Design, Design, Typography
