I was “scribbling” on a new logo for a store the other day… and all of a sudden this head-dude popped up with his big tongue. I just felt it was funny that this idea came up when I was drawing something different in the first place.
Hope you enjoy this happy-go-lucky little dude!
A cool surfer – with the right look in ink – just a few simple lines to give you the ”Magic Surfer”. He lives his life at the beach on the waves – it runs in his blood. Just a regular dude enjoying the wonders of the world…
Surfing! I like both wave and windsurfing. Not too good at either of them… but I sure enjoy them!
I have been out trying my new windsurf-board from Fanatic – really nice! Some good winds are coming here too – so off I go asap…
Surfs up dudes!
We lived part of the time at “Citizen M” – a very nice design hotel. You should visit some time if you get the possibility. A nice hotel with a lot of small details that gave it just that little extra you could want.
I met Iris and Timo from Hamburg briefly and had a little chat. It turned out that Timo had taken a lot of pictures while visiting Amsterdam… We got talking and he works with “Post” – designing and fixing pictures and making the best out of them. He had on a cool “monkey” t-shirt – so I posted this monkey cartoon above.
The monkey is holding a palm-tree or leaf if you please – standing on the letter “g”.
It was pleasure meeting Irene and Timo – might meet again somewhere!
You need someone to hang out with or someone to help you be everywhere.
Here is a cartoon dude that hangs out by himself as you can see. He is hanging on his back – barbequing underneath and as a dude standing around. Now it is nice to have lots of friends and family to be with and hang out with. I just felt it was a fun feeling to run around by oneself and do lots of things for fun – as well as lots of things one just has to do – lots on one’s agenda. One needs to be everywhere at the same time.
Enjoy the situation you are in until the next one arrives!
I made a couple of sketches on my folder from Berghs – as you might have seen the last few days. I used the folder to keep some of my papers in order during the course at Berghs.
I have drawn these cartoon-looking characters in ink pens from Copic – really a nice feel to those pens – and an interesting surface to draw on too. Almost like a dry canvas!
Have enhanced the feeling of the folder-designs by showing a chess-table in the background – a nicely organized pattern.
I have been sitting listening a lot to different lectures all spring and then some of the time I sat and sketched different cartoons and designs.
This is little cartoon bird. I gave him bigger eyes so he felt a little bit kinder and more innocent – a nice little bird with a big stomach and little beak. 
I have been attending a course at Berghs School of Communication this term. It has been a lot of designing.
Meanwhile I couldn’t help drawing a bit on the folder we got… There were a lot of creative people on this course so that made me feel like sketching away.
This is a dude shouting out the logotype for Berghs. In fact Berghs could be a bit more graphic in their branding – and a bit more “out there” in their visual identity – since they are all about creativity. Otherwise I must say it was a nice course.
I made “Protke” the other day – a little green cartoon or manga figure. As inspiration I had the Gogos. Small plastic figures that are about 20mm high – they are made in lots of different colours and shapes. Then I felt like drawing one for Wohill.
So it was time to make one more – this one has a space gun to defend “Protke” and himself from space-monsters. And to shoot bouncy flowers that can land on top of you!
This little dude I have named ”Negits”.
Made a little wallpaper too…
I have been drawing lots of nice things this week. I will tell you more about them when they are launched. Of course, I have been sketching more stuff too… including this duck-head.
Spring is here so now – we’ve got almost all the boats in the water… The sailing-boat was put into the water on Saturday. It will be super nice to go out in the archipelago and get lots of new inspiration.
This time I drew a little cartoon character in black and white. To give him a little more warmth and feeling I coloured only one part of his clothing red – the sweater. This enhances the picture a bit and gives him some more life.
Even though spring is just on the way I think he should probably take off that warm sweater and just have a t-shirt.
