ONION LOVE ( BUTTON )

I made a button design for the celebration of 10 years "Hot One Inch Action" button show in Vancouver, Canada. I luv onions by the way.

SAN CAROL ( VINYL RECORD COVER )

I made the vinyl cover artwork for musician San Carol from Paris. His synthpop-styled debut album "La Main Invisible" reminds me a bit of 80's bands like Devo and Oingo Boingo. Check it out here !

SLØW ( JANGTON FILM POSTER SHOW )

SLØW.
The slowest movie ever made. A staggering 14 hours of Scandinavian arthouse film beauty about the struggle of the couple Björn and Lila who slowly seem to lose touch with reality. After their marriage and buying the barn they always wanted a discussion about the interior design leads to an existential crisis. How did they get there ? Why did they get there ? Who are they ? Why do they live on a floating ball in space called earth ?

This experimental movie is definitely not for the mainstream viewer, but for the lovers of Scandinavian storytelling and sufferers of insomnia this is a must see. To find the perfect beautiful Swedish landscape setting the directors went to that place where people dump all their christmas trees every year.
