Some random paintings and a drawing i finished today.

One of the tasks in Images & Narratives was to do a cd cover with a "compressed conflict". That is, words that go against eachother sort of. Sooooo i made this weird cd cover. We also had another task but im not that fond of if so im not gonna show it. :p

Say More..

"J'ai besoin de Paris"

The picture below inspired me to do draw this ^^. I also got inspired by these movies; Tatt Av Kvinnen (Gone with the woman), Paris Je T'aime and Amelie from Montmartre which i really recommend. All are set or have scenes in Paris where I very much would like to go to and sometime in the future, stay for a longer while. I was there when i was younger but I didnt really appreciate it back then. The sixth person in the portait in the drawing is my dad who took the photo below. The whole thing is a tribute to my family and the future, whatever that might have in store for me and them :). Unfortunatley my grandparents passed away a many years ago, but dang, i really miss them alot. Especially when i was started doing this picture coz then i had a dream about my grandad:

Me and my dad were cleaning out stuff from their old apartment after they had passed away. I walked into the living room and suddenly fell flat down on my face after tripping on something. Exactly when i hit the floor the sealing light turned on by itself. My dad came to the living room and wondered what had happened. I told him that i just tripped on something and that the light turned on by itself. Then he tries to turn it of but it doesnt work, he tries several times but it just doesnt turn off. I look forward and see my grandparents bed in the livingroom, which of course wasnt there in reality. I could also see imprints on the bed, as if two people were laying in the bed. I ask my dad if he can see the imprints and he can, he tells me that we should go.

After that we are in the hallway of the apartment. Someone knocks on the door, my dad opens and he sees someone who makes him very happy, he goes towards that person and hugs him/her. I suddenly see someone in the corner of my eye, a figure standing behind the wall into the livingroom. I get scared when the figure slowly dissapears behind the wall. But then appears again and its my granddad. He wears his grey trenchcoat he used to wear in the winters and walks into the hallway. He sits down besides me, i say: oh cool trenchcoat! He says: (in swedish) you were a little (in english) into fashion haha. I say: yeah haha... :O END.

A really good dream.

ScanArt

Holy shietttt, listen to this, I just received an email saying that T H R E E of my pictures have been chosen to be a part of an exhibition in MELBOURNE!!! ScanArt is the name of the exhibition and it is for Scandinavian design students in Australia. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! :)


These pics were the ones that were chosen:

Heroes

Yay! I finished (well almost anyway) my ads. Which is the second part of my assignment for the studio applications for advertising-class (the glassware was the first part).

I started a few days ago with some very rough sketches of the concept, but then i wasnt sure which direction i wanted for the pics so i tried a lot of different taglines for the ads which u can see in the sketches.
After i had done the sketches i went to Toys-R-Us in Morley to find the masks. Unfortunatley they only had really expensive full-set costumes so i thought i had to make my own masks for a while. Until i passed K-mart, good ol trustworthy K-mart. Or something. There i found these supercheap masks which was exactly what i was looking for. So i bought Spider-man, The Hulk, Optimus Prime (transformers) and Batman. I then had to organize the photoshoot and assemble the people; Joshua (batman), Stanley (the hulk), Nicky (spider-(wo)man and Tri (optimus prime).

And then yesterday afternoon (friday) we had the shoot in the business area of the city which had the perfect big-city-super-hero-kinda-feeling to it. On location i tried a few different things with my heroes and tried to find the right meaning for the pics, which eventually came through. Sadly enough, i can only hand in three pictures so unfortunatley The Hulk got left out. But im gonna edit that picture also and show it here eventually.

Started to edit the pics yesterday evening and kept on editing until 4am and then continued today. The ads are for a cinema company called Union Cinemas i made up (short for U.C, get it? :p).

I was actually really lucky with the finished shot coz i had only planned on to shoot in that area and in a bus stop, and some bench. But after first finding the bus stop for the Spider-man shot, which was relatively easy, we then found a little spot for another batman-photo that i havent edited, but turned out really good. We then walked by a building that we went into and asked if we could shoot in the lobby, but we had missed that it was a government building so no photography was allowed in there.

So we had to go out and as we walked down the street i noticed a really good area with some steps coming down and some tall buildings in the background, ideas started to come up in my mind and the perfect location for The hulk was found. Went in to buy a coffee in a café close by to use as a prop and then after i found the right angle we started to shoot. Everybody helped in that shoot by doing different tasks and we had a really good time.

After those pictures were done we found a van just opposite the stairs which was perfect for Optimus Prime to pose infront of. We didnt want to make it look like we were braking into the car so we had to shoot fast and then walk away. On the way from that location we walked by another really awesome lobby. Went in and asked if we could take a few pictures there and i got the above Batman shot from there. And then we were done and went home :)

See through

Glassware.

One of my assignments for Studio applications. We're just gonna use one pic so i cant decide which one im gonna choose. Stuff like this is so hard for me, decisionssss. Hate it :O I used these two vases from IKEA (smygreklam) that i bought last time i was there, after the shoot they served as birthday presents to Nicky and Stanley, wooh.

I just had a hallelulja moment regardin my other bigger photo assignment. So i have to take a break and draw it down. Laters
