This years event, which is the third to be held, is to include a graffiti and street-art market which we've been asked to be a part of.

Here are some pics from another commissioned work, also painted in the entranceway to Kulturhuset Mazetti here in Malmö.
The piece is a tribute to Alphonse Mucha, one of the pioneers of the Art Nouveau style.
Alphonse Mucha has long been one of my favourite artists and his distinct style of Art Nouveau has long been a source of inspiration for me.
Thanks again to Ghenti from Kulturplats Lagret for making it all possible.

Here is another update with some older stuff.
This time some pics from a commissioned piece I painted in the entranceway to Kulturhuset Mazetti here in Malmö. The piece was painted during 2009-2010 and was made using a stencil which involved a whole lot of cutting, pretty good result though.
Thanks to Ghenti from Kulturplats Lagret for all the help.

Check it out here.

Just added a new gallery to the artwork section of the site. It is a gallery of artwork which is painted on canvas. Some of the pieces have been posted here on this page but now there is a link to the canvas work on the artwork page (along with the other galleries).
Still in the process of updating the other galleries so watch this space.

Thanks to Robert Rosenqvist from MKB for all the help.

Here are some photo's from another one of last years projects.
I was asked to paint the hallway wall in an apartment here in Malmö. The wall faces the front door and the towering robo-bear rampaging through the city is the first thing you see when you step inside. Cool.

Happy 2011 and thanks to everyone we worked with in 2010!

It's been pretty full on here with the new arrival to our family and it's been a long time since I put anything up here. My apologies. As a result of this, I have a lot of new stuff and some not so new stuff to put up over the next little while.
Here comes a few pics of some stuff from last year and a few others. It's a new format to the gallery also and I am in the process of changing all the galleries so keep your eyes peeled.

Hope to see you there.

Here is a little collection of works based upon the image from the last post - The Absurd Man. As written in the previous post, this image made it's way on to various pieces of artworks including t-shirts, posters, stickers and a wall piece, that now lives in the GrinAid studio.
So here is a few shots of the various pieces.

Check them out here.

Here comes a print that was actually done a little while back but has not yet been put up on the site. It is an image which has been a bit of a recurring theme in my artwork over the course of last year and was also printed on t-shirts.
The Absurd Man T-shirts can be found along with the whole range of Absurd shirts with the good people at Amalthea Bokkafe on the corner of Nobelvägen and Kristianstadsgatan in Möllan, Malmö.

Thanks to everyone who helped to make 2009 a success and a great year for us. We wish you well and all the best for 2010.

A new year is upon us and the energy is coming back after a nice break for the holidays.
2010 already looks to be an eventful year with lots of projects already planned and others in the pipeline. During the break I have been going through artwork pic's which hopefully will be up soon, so watch this space.

The Absurd All Equal T-shirts are now available to buy and can be found at Amalthea Bokkafe on the corner of Nobelvägen and Kristianstadsgatan in Möllan, Malmö.
The shirts bear a simple message; "All Equal, All the Same" and are to raise awareness to the ongoing struggle to overcome racism.

So show your support and wear the shirt as only together can we overcome racism.

With school being so busy lately, it's been great to have a few days off and get into the studio and finish off some canvas pieces which have seemed to take forever to complete.
Each piece is 150cm x 100cm and is painted on unframed canvas using spraypaint and acrylic.
These pieces are for sale, however the Mick Jagger and Keith Richards pieces have both been sold to a die-hard "Stones" fan from New Zealand.

Check out the pic's here.

Here comes some more pic's from the Graffitisounds project in Seved. This time it was one of EON's buildings getting the treatment and some real nice work was done. Due to the weather being quite cold and windy, we were forced to return the following day to finish off.
Brrrrr, winter is on it's way!
Thanks again to all involved!

A couple weeks ago I was involved with a project in Seved, here in town, called Graffitisounds, which involved a group of artists painting power-boxes in the neighbourhood, and making an outdoor gallery of the results. This was followed by a live performance by p.u.l.s.
The contibuting artists included Limpo, the U1 Collective, GrinAid, Mist and Eterica.
Thanks go out to the organisers (Limpo and Minna), MKB in Seved, Kulturexpressen and a big thanks go out to EON for letting us paint their powerboxes.

Well, its that time of year again where the Malmöfestival takes over our lovely city here in the south of Sweden and to pay homage to the Dropkick Murphys who played here at the festival, I decided to head down to P-Hus Anna and paint a tribute piece for them the day before their gig.
The music of the Dropkick Murphys has had a profound effect on me so it felt extra nice to do something for a bunch of guys who have given me so much.
Enjoy.

With all the good weather we had around the end of july we took the opportunity to head down to P-Hus Anna in Malmö and throw up some paint on the wall with our good friend from Luxembourg, Oreil along with M.P.S.A.K.A.A.K.E, Mrs Miyagi and myself.
So here are a few pics of what we came up with, nice stuff if I do say so myself.
