The natural things you do

Throwing a stone or some other object down from a high place is probably as natural as shouting in a tunnel. This is a tribute to the unexplained things we do.

The character used in this installation is not made by me. A group of guys gave this character to me after a workshop and I promissed to use it in a installation somewhere. This is where I left it. In a lookout tower in Finström, Åland.
Thanks guys, I love the character you made!

Minimal Street Art Workshop

The last month alot of thing have been happening around Minimal Street Art. I have a exhibition coming up and I have held about five workshops so far. Here are some pics from those workshops.

First we drew some sketches

Then we burned the characters

After that we painted them a few days later

Finally we put them out and photographed our installations.

For more pictures go to my flickr page. All in all I had a great time and I´m already waiting for the next workshop which actually is today.

Update:

And here is a video from another workshop I held. Enjoy!

The Icarus Deception event

Today I attended a creative event.
The deal was, present your art in 140 sec. And answer 3 questions.

What have you created?

What was scary?

What is important?

I found the idea so great I would gladly recommend anyone to attend a similar event. The room was filled with creative energy.

Inspired by fantasy

Lately I have been very inspired by fantasy characters and tales. That is why my latest characters are more fantasy like. I am very eager to get new characters out on the streets but the snow is still stopping me or holding me back.

I also start to have a big pile of unpainted characters that I should paint. I am very much looking forward to painting them all. Some of them are probably for a exhibition and some are meant for the streets.

Last week I was very busy telling teens about street art and what I do. I think it was a succesful week from what I´ve heard and experienced. I just hope I inspired the youngsters to try street art in any form.

Coming up in march is a few Minimal Street Art workshops with the Helsinki City Culture Central. More about that later. Peace and love!
PS. I have 666 facebook followers, muhahahahahahaa!!!

The Mountaineers (video/pics)

During the last days I have been busy editing pictures and video footage. This is the result of hard work and a lot of fun.

This installation might remind you of the installation I made in Sweden a few months ago, and yes. I loved the idea and wanted to make another one with a similar style.

Broadcasting Live on @Bambuser

So, I decided to show you while I work on a installation tonight. The big gray thing is exactly what you think it is. A vacuum cleaner. Or was a vacuum cleaner. Hope you enjoy the show and be my guest to join the bambuser chat.

Minimal Street Art - Short video clip

This is what is going on on my dinner table. There is going to be many more characters done in a while and a vacuum cleaner will also be included to the project. Stay tuned for more!
