Revelation of Doom 2

Well, seems like my never ending bad luck haunts me once again...  every person who got the offer to start at the national academy of Fine Art said yes. That means it´s not going to be Linda+Oslo this time...  It really makes you mad, and sad, and irritated... All the hard work and then nothing.. But I know that´s just the way it works in the world of Art. It´s hard, that´s it. Next year I´ll be back stronger..or more fucked up, who knows :p .....BUT, there is STILL a little chance to get in, if someone just don´t meet up or something like that... I cross my fingers!


And then, here is some of the drawings I used in my portfolio to the different Art Academies. Enjoy! 
The title is taken from one of my favorite poems, written by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson himself! It is called "Brede Seil Over Nordsjø Går" and tells the story of the time after Olva Tryggvason died in an EPIC battle ;) Eeeeepic...  The time after a beloved person has vanished...  But in the same way, "Stille stille i samme stund" or "quietly quietly in the same time"  is supposed to mean anything you want.....






Listen to this beautiful song if you have´nt heard it before! Glittertind-Brede Seil over Nordsjø Går

The day before St. Hans

The day before St. Hans (22.06) I was with some friends to Tou Scene to watch nothing more than 48 guitarists playing at the same time! Like an orchestra ...of noise!  I missed a high light in the piece, but it was cool to see nonetheless!
Cool!

Revelation of Doom!

I now have the answer from the Academy of Fine Art in Oslo... and I did not get in :(
UGH! But, I´m standing as number 1 on the waiting list. 1 of 5. So there is still hope!
I wish I wish I wish in vain that this is going to go well.... And I´ll be lucky to have the opportunity to once again go in an art class.  I´ve been working so hard for this, and I´m  SO close! But, is it all fails..well....one more year of randomness, who knows what the future may bring?



Maybe I´ll be doing this the rest of my life?? Heheh, hopefully not :p
But that´s what I did today at work...




DARKTHRONE! 



You now can pre-ordre this once!! The re-release of Darkthrones Goatlord with my cover art :) Follow the link below for more information.

Oslo! Art and stomach butterflies!

Last week I was in Oslo. First I had to go to a Glittertind concert at Karmøy, it was awesome as always! Loads of singing, dancing, beer, great persons, retardedness and loosing items and my voice.... :D
 Anyway, Oslo, I was invited to come to the Academy of Fine Arts in Oslo to work there for 5 days with...what I do best, drawing, to convince them that I was the right person to start there after the summer! I was there with  around 42 other fantastic talented people!! Hard days, HARD competition but a wonderful experience :)

Here is what I had time to make there. It's inspired by to works by Francesca Woodman, a photograph  from  America, and some norwegian news. And nature........








And of course, In Oslo live my beloved best freind Trine Grimm. I stayed at her place the whole time :) It was nice to be with here so many days in a row! She made me breakfast, I made her dinner, she got me free tickets to Joan Jett, I bought her flowers.. sweetness!!! <3


And Trines Candy Girl came by to party with us on Saturday, and brought home made cupcakes with tiny colourful dicks on them :D

I get the answer from the Art Academy on June 16 or 17..... Iiiiiiik
