Dead Pleasures “The Thing Within”
Dead Pleasures are soon releasing their new EP “The Thing Within”.
It will be a digipack CD which I’ve done the artwork for.
The artwork includes the front cover (posted above), a back cover, as well as insert, tray and disc designs.
The concept for the front cover is based on the The Walking Dead comics.
I’ll post the rest of the art as soon as the EP has been released.

Death Ray Boot
New artwork for Death Ray Boot.
The band will be on tour in Europe this month.
I went to see them recently and they put on a great show.
Dead Pleasures merchandise
I got a package in the mail from England today with all the new Dead Pleasures merchandise
with my designs including stickers, pin, patch and the new digipak pressing of “A Symphony of Horror”.
I was excited to see it all, especially the new packaging of the cd.
The artwork looks great in the digipak format.
It’s all availabe at Dead Pleasures webshop

The Cremators sneak peek
Here’s a teaser for The Cremators upcoming album “The New Breed”
I did the artwork back in September of last year and you get a pretty good
look at it in the video.
The album will be released on March 16th on Heptown Records.

Had some technical problems with this site the last couple of days but we’re finally back online.
Sorry if you dropped by during the down time…
Several new projects are in the making so there’s new artwork coming.
Meanwhile, check out the new patches in Dead Pleasures webshop.

“Heart In A Vice” part 1 & 2
Completed a new illustration the other day and made two short videos of it.
Been thinking about making videos of the whole illustration process…from sketch to
the finished result, and this was just to test the software and learn how to do it.
But it was a lot of fun!

Badmouth – European tour t-shirt
When asked to do the design for Badmouth’s new tour t-shirt I immediately
thought of some strange, ancient, war machine, half animal – half machine, making
it’s way across Europe….wrecking havoc everywhere it goes.
It was a pretty abstract vision, so it took a little while to come up with a first rough draft.
But then it really took off on it’s own.
The tour kept expanding while I was working on the design so I had to fit more and more
names of cities into it, but it all worked out great in the end.
The colors were originally different, but this is the way it looks on the t-shirts.

New artwork
This is something I’ve been working on in-between projects.
I have been pretty busy with a couple of t-shirt designs lately, but ever since I came up
with the idea for it I have been eager to complete it.
Had to sacrifice a few nights sleep, haha, but it was worth it since it turned out kind of cool.
There’s room on the banner to write something, but I haven’t thought of what it should say yet.
What do you think? “Mean Machine”? “Hell On Wheels”? Any suggestions?
Next up, in a week or so, is the new tour thirt design for Badmouth….

The art of 2011…
…or, well, at least almost all of it.
There’s still a handful of stuff, mostly cover art for albums, that’s waiting to be released.
By the same principal, there’s some pieces of art displayed here that I did last year (and started even earlier in some cases) but didn’t see the light of day until 2011.
It has been a great year without a doubt.
I got to work with some really exciting and inspiring people and bands this year,
and I really started noticing my art finding it’s way around the world.
I’ve gotten so much positive feedback from all of the world, it’s amazing to me.
I have a clear vision of where to take things in 2012. Let’s make it happen!
Happy New Year!

Hardcore Superstar – Christmas t-shirt
T-shirt design exclusively made for the Hardcore Superstar show at Trädgår’n
in Gothenburg, Sweden on December 25th.
Only a 100 t-shirts were made and sold at the venue.
A collector’s item in other words. Did you get one? 
The “New Year”-blog post with all the artwork from 2011 coming up later this week…
