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.

Dawn of the living.

And here it is, merry Christmas.. And a new picture. Its a big one, painted on some sleek and nice wood. Its what used to be modern, eaten up by the past and becomming part of it. The old pick up truck is now just as strange as the masked tribalistic persons.If you wanna live in the past you can live in the whole past, and if not, you can follow those happy modern kids in the circle in the left corner.
The past will rise again.

Eat some bodyparts

People eating people, its something to paint.. The inspiration came from african handpainted posters. They really know how to make people wanna go to the movies down there.
Its also about learning from ones elders. The older man is jazzed up in tribal robes, while the younger one might be wearing some kind of uniform, maybe for school.
