“Det er ingen kunst”
Today I participated the launch of Region Nordjyllands new design manual. I was contacted by local advertising agency SHRPA some time ago, and asked if I'd be interested in doing a painting for the event, and it sounded like an interesting gig. It went realy well: three hours of live painting, lots of nice people who seemed genuinely interested in my work, and a client who realy liked their painting.
"Det er ingen kunst".
Invitation for the event.
Multitasking!
I brought two pieces so I could be working more or less constantly.
Kulkælderen.
The event took place at Nordkraft, Aalborg's old power plant, which is just oozing with inspiration.

Print shop!
I've already begun making lots of appointments for 2010, and I figured it would be a good thing to have some free giveaways. I didn't want to spend anything on standardized business cards, so I made my own. All you need is a piece of linoleum, a carving knife and some ink, and you're good to go. Besides being cheap, it just looks pretty damn awesome!
Use the roller to apply ink to your linoleum block.
Make a bunch of prints.
Set them away to dry.
“Jeg viser dig vej!”
The last couple of months have been pretty busy with all sorts of projects. Digital work, lithographic printing, lino-cutting and building have all kept me from painting, but I finally finished a new piece:
"Jeg viser dig vej!", 2010.

“Transformator”
Is everybody in? The ceremony is about to begin!
I just got a few samples of the poster I did for Aalborg teaters experimental stage, Transformator. Four colour print on nice rough paper, measuring approx. 39 x 58 cm. It turned out pretty good! If you want to get your hands on one of the posters, I suppose you could contact the guys at Transformator.

Let's make a scene!

Text sheet.
Vi må takke vores lyst og seksualdrift for,
at vi orker at skabe al den skønne kultur,
at vi er ivrige for at gøre os umage —
til glæde for os selv,
fordi vi finder en mage;
til glæde for andre,
fordi det udfolder skaberkraften og
samarbejdsviljen i os.
Kærligheden løfter os op,
hvor vi hører hjemme.
TOR NØRRETRANDERS
