BERLIN TATTOO CONVENTION 2011

Always so much fun at the Berlin Convention... just like last year, I travelled with one of my closest friends and a fellow artist working here in Oslo at Lucky 7 Tattoo; Nick Morte.

Like last year, since we just simply LOVE Berlin, it was more a vacation than an actual working trip. hehe...

Me in east of Berlin

Nick in east of Berlin

We were only there for 4 days, but was able to do more sightseeing then actually planned! First day we went straight to my favorite store; HARDWAX to by some vinyls that my dear neighbour at home orderes. I was able to buy some nice music and other goods myself. After that, dinner with one of my good friends FAT from Spain; and straight to The Pub with some tequilas.

Outside HARDWAX.

Coolest door in the world

HARDWAX

The next day was the first day of convention. Me and Nick was sharing booth like always. Loads of fun and so many people to talk with....

One of the coolest things with conventions is that you always meet people you know from other travels. Old friends  and new friends.

I did a poppy on this really cute girl; and some other small stuff. Nick was allready booked in,  and did a nice halfsleeve!

All in all; one of the best conventions in a while; and I am coming back next year for sure!!!

Next year is gonna be busy. &é different countries; stay tuned! The tour is on!!!!

Cool street art in Berlin!!! Wanna take it home

BLACK METAL RAT

THE RESULT OF TONIGHT

 Did some more on OnklP's lower arm today while filmimg.. some more details in the skull, the rose and some shading in the background. Starting to take some shape, but we still have a long way to go!

The whole sleeve is very spontanious.. He like skulls, chicano, roses and black n Grey. I pretty much came up with some ideas and sketches.. and here we go! A really fun project!!! Thank you for letting me do this one...

More updates will come soon when we continue.....

The rose is finally done...

OnklP

TV SHOW

So.. Tv2 came in to the studio today to do some shooting. Can't say much about the show right now, but all I know is that they are airing in February 2012.

SKETCHES

Been drawing a lot lately!!! Feeling so creative now when the winter is right around the corner... basically been skateboarding, discovering new music and drowned myself in new and exciting projects!

This a t-shirt print I made for a brand called FREAKS & Co in Paris. Sacha brought it over there last weekend during the Paris Tattoo Fest... Hopefully will get some shirts out of it.. 

Other than that.. lots of new sketches and flash for my upcoming project and book. Here is a sneak peak of them!!!
