Mood -the Hybrid Craft Artwork

“Mood” incorporates the knowledge of many different skills into a single artifact.

Chicken On Steroids *edit: WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

I had this idea a few years back, when I heard that growth hormones are used in the U.S poultry industry. When I saw the Finnish “From Bits to Atoms” call for entries, I decided to enter the competition with this entertaining “Professional Fitness” character. The competition called digital artists to send their work to

FocusPocus-videoparadox goes Cuba

Our installation is selected in the 4th International Festival of Video Art, Camagüey 2011, Cuba. It seems to have an effect in many cultures.

Psychological portrait

It’s time to post some art done in “old school” medium; The Graphite pencil. Between 1997 – 1999 in my teens, I spent a considerable amount of time doing small psychological portraits.

New artwork

CloudZ. Clicking the image brings a bit larger view of the piece. Doing this, I ended up thinking about stereotypes, responsibility and social pressure, but it has elements and room for interpretation. It took some 10 intense painting sessions to get it where it is. It’s available in (insanely high resolution) physical format as well.

FocusPocus-videoparadox @ Digital Graffiti at Alys Beach

Our installation “FocusPocus-videoparadox” has been selected for display and competition during the 2011 Digital Graffiti Festival at Alys Beach, Florida. It’s an awesome setting for the piece.

Digital Art painted with an iPhone

This was my first painting I did using a nice little app, iDoodle Lite. I spent a good couple of hours in to it. Back then (spring 2010), there was an option to send it to Idoodles online Gallery, witch I did. I named it “The Portable Knot”. What do you see in it? The
