Give the finger.

There is so much going on here, but the real story is the young skinhead. He just gives it all the finger, and then he dont have to worry about anything, he stays cool. Tribalistic aliens from a future past, women that are also machineguns and the little devil wont bother you, if you stay cool.

You know that I love ice cream, but do you know that Im in love with ice cream ?

I like to say Ice, just cut the cream out. We dont talk about the cream in Norway. But thats all right. This picture is about passion for that cold,sweet stuff and how ugly it cn get when it runs wild. And that female ice cream sure is good looking, right ?, the red one, that makes all this happen.. What a tease.

It will get to you, sooner or later.

The houses are comming down all over and still you have to deal with the little gnome on your back. Life is getting very hard for most people and this is my way of telling you that i understand you. Stay up Detroit, New Orleans and Skreia.

A negative meeting with some kind of death.

The children just wanted to play some war, but ran into a version of death. And all he wants to do is cut someone down. And that house they come from tell a tale of a strange upbringing. Its not as easy to see whos the badguy here as you might think.

Fight the problem.

The big space-zombiehead is the symbol of the germs that are flowing in over us. It needs to be stoped as soon as we can get some kind of lasers working, maybe in hats made of animals, who knows.. I dont have all the answers, but I try to help with my art. The Background is made with sparkling snowspray and it makes everything look really festiv.

The sweet, or cute, war.

Its world war two vs cute little figures from cards and books for young children, but whats really going on is that Im trying totell you about how people take the good with the bad. So, even if there is a big war going on, you might have a good day here and there. Its also about how something bad can happen on a normal to great day. One moment its all about puppylove and a funny song and the next someone might come rushing in and tell you to turn on the news and it will be all bad from there. But its not just about those things and the way of the world, its also about how much I love to draw war. Its one of the first things i drew as a child and it wont go away any time soon. Drawing some cool tanks makes my day.

Shady Lady

Some kind of she-panther of the Gestapo. I know its often she-wolf, but sometimes its good to try a new way, and this one feels good. Its all about how we would like world war two to have been, but know in our minds that it was not.

South from Bremen.

This is a tribute to Germany and life on its highways. But the blue Ford Granada is straight out of the Feiring 80s.
The picture can be seen at Bjørnstadbil, if you are there to buy a car. Dont go there just to look at the picture.

highcat hexing.

Two heads of a cat, one over the other, on the body of a sexy woman, a witch with a bodyface and a little hunter with toy-eyes. The content speaks for it self, but I hope you think about it.. In this picture the red right hand makes a return as well, wich means we have a devil in it. It aint me, but I am a fortunate son in my own way.

Route 66

The place where some people like to get "kicks". This picture was painted to jazz up the office of a local cardealer and its all about American roadsideculture, with signs, old service-stations and cars from the good old days.

The old new west.

Run down "frites" stands, old homes and retrofuturistic roundcubehoses all over and tired men trying to make something of it all. And then there is a youth gone wild, with some kind of funny t-shirt, probably high or drunk on something most people use for something else, probably "huffing" gas or paint. The man with the glasses is the smartest man in town, but no one will ever know.

Live in something

This one is about the depressionera and about living in big old trees in groups of men. And there is a funny little cat up here, looking for some fishbones, or fish-heads in the trashcan. Its great how someone living in a big tree might still feel a need for some of the fixings of a normal life. And its comming back now, even if we dont see much of it in Norway, the world is full of strange ways to live, with satelitedishes on the sides of caves and so on.. Its probably much easier to be delighted by this way of life when you see it from a nice stable house, but I know I wont see enough homemade homes any time soon.

Gemo army

This is a split tribute to my old war comics and to the graffiti twins from Brazil known as Os Gemos. I have always loved the colorfull heads and figures they paint and from time to time I find myself thinking "what would the Gemos do ?" when Im having a hard time figuring out my next step in a painting or something. The bodies is more like the small "combat" comicbooklets that were popular when I was a child. Popular for me, not something all the kids liked. But they were good, great and simple drawings of world war 2. I would sit and look at them and learn how to draw tanks and uniforms, while others would learn how to swim and play football.

The letter from the ape.

A new big painting about the joy of dance in a mad world. No matter if the faces melt or if you are some kind of cute animal, you can escape into some kind of state if you move to the music and float to the beat. And its all happening in some "west-side" no one has ever been to, but everyone knows something about, the mythical west-side.

Eat my guts.

The facebody is back, in the much less sexy form of a skinny old godesshag that likes to eat people. Why does it have to be so cruel ?

Nightmares of the fishperson.

This fishpersons nightmare is that starshaped cowboys want to ride it. And its close to happening here, in a chessboardvortex.
