media in a meaningful business enhancing way the answer is not to be too businessy or do blog posts by numbers but to tweet from the heart be personal opinionated and passionate posted by bjorn rune lie at 03 59 4 comments wednesday 9 november 2011 full gass full throttle on the occasion of their 10 year anniversary the good people at dinamo design in oslo asked 10 collaborators to design a t shirt based simply on the number 10 i ve had some some nice commissions from them over the years so of course i was delighted to contribute they re printed in 3 spot colours in a limited edition of 50 here s a picture of me looking like a tool posted by bjorn rune lie at 09 05 2 comments christmas cards 2011 i ve been busy printing a big batch of new christmas cards lately it s been a good while since i did any printing and as usual it was not a straight forward process all sorts of things went wrong testing my patience to the max but in the end they came out really well and i learned a lot from it lesson 1 check that the separations match up before you put them on the screen that will save you loads of hassle anyway they are now available from my online shop if you live in bristol drop by the jamica street artists pop up shop art box on college green open on december 8 i ll be selling all sorts of things there cards calendars tea towels books prints etc etc i m even in charge of the window display yikes posted by bjorn rune lie at 04 14 2 comments wednesday 12 october 2011 lobo perry a few months ago i was asked to make a label illustration for lobo a small micro brewery located in the adelaide hills south australia they have grown and produced fruit from their family orchard for 5 generations and in recent years diversified into making apple and pear cider perry lobo means wolf in spanish and portuguese and is also a variety of apple which they grow the brief was to portray the wolf character as sophisticated and metrosexual so i gave him a bit of a frank sinatra makeover in the end although i had to reign in my usual wonkyness to a degree i think the end result is pretty good some times you simply have to deliver what is right for the job client and rightly so i m especially pleased with how the box turned out it was fun working with negative lines and trying to do something a bit delicate in spite of the rather crude print process big thanks to anthony o sullivan at influx creative for the passionate feedback along the way this job really felt like a team effort posted by bjorn rune lie at 00 24 8 comments monday 3 october 2011 more reliable than

local hero it s been a while since i ve painted but the good folks at peix in berlin have yet again asked me to do a piece for their calendar the theme this time was heroes gods and garden gnomes i decided to ditch the gods and garden gnomes and instead focus on hero my original idea was to do a piece on american folk heroes who tend to be thieves and outlaws under a sort of robin hood guise but in the end i decided to go for something more playful like a reformed super villain doing nice things posted by bjorn rune lie at 04 11 4 comments wednesday 6 july 2011 sekret firmy editorial here s a

did recently for the russian business magazine sekret firmy they wanted looooads of strange details for this one lots of graphs and charts incorporated into the composition quite like the result though it was cool to write in russian although i have no idea what alot of it means posted by bjorn rune lie at 04 47 7 comments friday 6 may 2011 nobrow 5 at last another blog post not really breaking news anymore but here s my contribution to nobrow 5 some of my favourite things the brief was to create a repeat pattern out of 20 of my favourite things 3 spot colours gold the repeat pattern was extremely difficult to work out and was just totally against the grain of how i usually make pictures so i decided to keep the colours as simple as possible just using pink and yellow to create the black or dark blue as it turned out i m fairly happy with the result but it got a little bit too technical this time for me to really enjoy the process as for the actual image i decided to take on a different persona with a more interesting collection of favourite things than i myself have i chose to be an explorer botanist adventurer from the early 1900 s loosely based on the exploits of col percy fawcett a renegade explorer of the amazon jungle who vanished without a trace in 1925 serching for el dorado or the city of z as he called it the creature in the middle started out a tiger but morped into a bat his prize trophy a golden tiger bat posted by bjorn rune lie at 05 12 2 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom visit my website visit my online shop buy the wolf
