SKETCHBOOK

So I went through my old college artwork the other day and found an assignment I did. It was to create a stamp design featuring a celebrity from the state/country of your origin, given by @cfoxpayne . Back then I was still figuring out painting in photoshop and I remember liking the the assignment and my design, but could not get the execution right. Looking at it now, I felt I could improve on it, not just in the rendering, but the total design, so I decided to do some homework voluntarily and made a new version. I really enjoyed it, reimagining this stamp design with new colors and new composition. I still kept the same subject matter, that being Thor Heyerdahl, as his life was filled with adventure and exploration. I’ve also included the original version so you can be the judge if things got better or not.

Alan Jones became the second Australian to win the world driver’s championship and it was the first for Williams, a new and upcoming team that soon would become one of the big juggernauts in the sport for the next couple of decades.

The King was in a foul mood. Even fouler than his normal morose inclination. The reason for this was a message that had arrived in all haste.  He could not believe it. Those old, wrinkly and cobwebbed monks in the north had claimed the prophecy to be true. The gods where returning to the world, to live once again amongst men, which, in priest-speech meant to rule over men. This, clearly, was an attempt from the clergy to wrest power from his hands. As much as he resented the fact, the word of the gods held more sway over the people, and more importantly, the lords within his kingdom. As his sour thoughts festered in his mind, a plan started to materialize.

For 80 years the monk had sat guard in the shrine in solitude, like generations of monks before him in hopes of hearing the divine voices of the gods, like the scriptures foretells. 80 years in solitude, forsaking all material goods, but for the necessary items needed as a monk. 80 years with the bare minimum of sustenance. However, after 80 years of complete physical sacrifice and spiritual devotion, the gods had spoken to him. When they had spoken, an immense euphoria grabbed him. He could not believe it. They spoke to him, to him! And, as they said, they were coming, to live amongst men and rule over them, like in the beginning of time.

ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m a freelance illustrator and designer, based in Norway. My passion is telling stories through art! My artwork tend to be more complex than simplified, but still stylized. This is in part due to the intricate details of Hergé’s and Don Rosa’s comics I fell in love with as a wee lad and is the main reason for my pursuit of an artistic career. The complexity of the comics I read attributed to my hard working nature, making me always wanting to improve.

As a professional, I’ve illustrated several published children’s books as well as other things, but I’m always looking for new challenges! If you have a need for an illustration, do not hesitate to make contact!
