The Spirit Of Nature
I've just come home from a very special week in Oslo, a week mixed with both business and pleasure.
Unfortunately it ended with the horrible terror attack. My thoughts goes out to the ones who lost friends and family....
I have been sketching alot for the Norwegian metallband "Borknagar" the last months, and I brought a prototype for a Borknagar hoodie along with me.
I had a meeting with Jens F. Ryland from Borknagar in the rock merchandise shop "Rockmerch" located in Thorvald Meyers gate in Oslo, where I showed him my hand painted Borknagar hoodie
Jens also introduced me to Glenn from Rockmerch, and hopefully this meeting will result in a cooperation in the future.
And this was the pleasure.....
It's so easy !
This design was inspired of the good old Guns'n'roses days,
Axl Rose, painted on a grey cotton hoodie for my brother.
The Header
The header on this blog includes pieces of 4 paintings that deserves an own post:
Slash - This picture is made by using ordinary ink markers on paper
Myles Kennedy - a small oil painting (18 x 24)
Sixx A.M. - Another Oil painting. This picture is not quite finished yet, colours will be added to the background.
Last, but not least: Alter Bridge - A black and white Acrylic painting.
This was actually the first canvas painting I ever did for my rock art collection
The Days Of Grays - a Sonata Arctica hoodie
Just a quick update, showing pictures of one of my first complete works, with design on the front, back and the hood.
At first I painted their logo on the hood, with silver color and black outlines...
... and put the quote "I hope your wish came true - Mine betrayed me" on the front.
Topping the whole project with a backpiece painting of the lead vocal singer Tony Kakko
