Wednesday, September 29th, 2010The past days the weather has been so beautiful, I just have to share some photos from my little world. Welcoming visitors. Even fall. My house is sun-bathing… Yesterday and today I´ve been driving all along the cost up to Søviknes again, to deliver artwork for a new ship. (I´ll be posting about that very […]
Ruthie-girl
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010During my time teaching collage and a sorts of other techniques that could be used WITH collage, I demonstrated as I was speaking. Here are a couple of the finished pieces I made randomly in class. If the question is how do you use a feather and vaseline in a picture, this would be my […]
Exhibition poster for Brian Wallace
Monday, September 27th, 2010Brian Wallace is such a great painter, and I´m so glad I got to know him! He´s the artist featured in Bømlo Art Group´s annual fall-exhibition. If you live around here, you should absolutely come see his work. And if you don´t live around here, take a virtual tour on his site. The motif in […]
IF: old-fashioned
Sunday, September 26th, 2010Illustration Friday´s theme this week is Old-fashioned. I´ve been working a lot with old photographs the past months, for different commissions. By the end of this week, you´ll see a whole series for a new ship. But today, there is just a little, silly fun collage. Riding these bikes, maybe it was the old-fashioned way […]
Way big wayfarer
Friday, September 24th, 2010Things are coming together, pictures are being finished, framed and packed for the journey. It´s been a hectic week, but an efficient week is always a good one! Following the progress of the big painting. The sky and the main sail, the spinnaker, is in place. (Is that the English name?) Mr. Man is in […]

Friday, September 24th, 2010The graphics for Kulurveko 2010 (The Culture Week 2010) is just about due, and here is the poster I made for this week full of all sorts of cultural experiences. I also made a banner, that will be in the foyer of the culture-house, as a teaser.
Poster for a design-presentation
Thursday, September 23rd, 2010Ok, since my last post was such a boring one, with nothing particular to show for, I´ll post another one today, just to show you something that actually IS finished: Bømlo art Group is arranging an design-exhibition and design-presentation by Trond Atle Næsse during the Culture-week (in celebration of the 5 year anniversary of the […]
The fear of the big white!
Thursday, September 23rd, 2010I think that everybody who paints, sometimes feel the fear of THE BIG WHITE. So inspired by my students and their work with collage, I decided to approach this big canvas (80×120 cm) by first adding texture to it. (Well, actually, first I made a rough sketch of the outline of the image, so I […]
Student stamp-making
Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010We´ve been busy today, the students and me. In just four hours, we ventured at least as many different techniques. One of them was stamp-making. Using fun-foam, they cut out (using scalpel) different shapes. They found some odd ends in the wood-craft department, and glued the shapes onto the blocks. A couple of the students […]
Stempel
Tuesday, September 21st, 2010Here is a little something for my students at HSH. It´s a very basic how-to in Photoshop, on how you go from a photo, to an image you can use as a pattern for cutting stamps. I´ll do another one in English a bit later when I have time. Although this is a very good […]
