Today a new Art Director came to the studio, met him this friday though and he seems really nice. Hes name is Adam Weiss and he is comming straight outta Burtons creative team. Pretty stoked on having hom at the studio, he made some sick stuff, check out his portfolio here. Also made some masking to a pretty dope movieproject Jason has been doing the latest two weeks. Here is a gif from that! I love gifs, its good stuff.

So had a real nice weekend, my back is starting to get better so now its just my foot that is fucked up. I think when a part of the body is injured or bad it needs to be taken care of, thats why i bought some new t-shirts and a hood for my back and a fresh new pair of shoes for my feet.

So saturday was really nice. On the day me and Emelie went to a small park on some Attik gathering. It was beer, barbeque and volleyball. It was nice weather and nice food. After that Emelie went for some shopping and i went home to cook some food. Made some really good potatodish and enjoyed it with some american budweiser, haha. Really terrible beer that taste like water, easy to drink though, nuff said. Then i was off to a art exhibition with one of my top 10 artists. Shephard Fairey, for you guys that dont know who he is. He is a artist that do almost all the print for the big clothingbrand Obey. He has developed a style that feels like propaganda posters from the second world war. The show was supposed to open at 7pm and i was there like 6.30 and there was a line almost half a block. Pretty rad that so much people came to this small gallery. Anyway i was in there for like two hours just so i could get a signed book. So i bought the book for 60$ and waited for him to stop DJ so h could sign it. He did and i went home and had a pretty wild evening, not like crazy wild, but mellow wild. Thats another story though.

Today i walked around in the hippiearea again, i like it there. There is so many cool stores that you always buy something though, rad stuff. Heres alot of pictures from the exhibiton, and some other aswell…

Way to tired to write something really important. Nothing special happened today. Had dinner with the new AD though, he seems lika a real nice dude. Looking really forward to start working with him. Also scanned in some negatives from my new lomo. Enjoy it, i know i do…

So, ill do one of theese list things again.

My heel hurts really bad now. It sucks, cuz now i cant skate at all…. Sucks.

Today i got hit. By a motorcycle.
I was bombing (cruisin) with my longboard down the hill from where i live to the trainstation. I was in the buslane where there is no traffic and had pretty high speed. Then a bus came up and i was going to turn for it so i turned into the other lane. What i didnt saw was that a motorcycle came (also in high speed) towards me, last thing i remember whas that he honked the horn and then BANG. He hit me right from behind so i actually sat on the front of the motorcycle for some meters before we both fell down on the ground. He hit me right on the backpack which i had my computer in so it got pretty bad damaged. Lucky i had the backpack though, or i would have pretty bad backinjuries. Although now some hours after the crash it starts to feel kinda bad in my upperright in my back and my heel is kinda bad too, hard to walk on. Anyway i am pretty ok, a bit shooken and some easy injuries that hopefully will get better.

I was sad so after work i head to the applestore and bought me a new iPod. Wanted one for long though and they released a new one yesterday so i bought one today. Also got my wacom at work so thats kinda stoked. And a new guy is starting at work on monday so thats fun. Here is a picture of my workplace, if you guys wanted to see…
Nighty.

Sometimes you just need to put some eyes on a chair. Sometimes you might just hate every pixel on your computer because the program you use just die. Sometimes you need to make a ugly illustration of a moose mixed with a unicorn and call it Unimoose and suddenly it becomes a unisex homosexual moose instead. Sometimes you just need to quit writing the same thing over and over and actually go to sleep. My new co-worker Charlie the Chair that came in today as a Junior Directos says hi. And he smiles.

Cant really say i have been up to much today. Overslept and came 20 minutes late to work though, not good… Anyway we had our morningmeeting and set the goals for this week. Then i got what i should do today. Work in Flash.
Well, it went well, supereasy work that just had to be done. Kinda like, copy from illustrator, make it into a movieclip, name the clip to something good and then make i ready for AS3 code. Basiv stuff really it just took time. Then i acted tech support and called up support for a scanner. I hated that guy that answered, he though my knowledgelevel on computers were 2 out of 10 and bassicly told me where i should find the “w” when i was gonna type in a webadress… Also went to the gym today, pretty nice. Heard it starting to see some result and thats always un to hear. Time to sleep now, nighty.

What can i say about today, were supposed to shoot some but we are going to do that tomorrow instead, pretty stoked on diog some filmstuff, ot just use a supercool camera. Skated some today and met a guy named Ricardo, he was a hobo and wanted to learn me how to live in the city of S.F.
He was really nice though so i stayed with him for like 20 minutes just chatting some. Got home, went to the gym, ate some proteinrich food and watched the serie of “Chuck”. Kinda fun, im tired, good night.

I just love to wake up to this! The panoramawindow in my room just shows a blue sky and alot of nice buildings. Then skate down to work with my cruiseboard for about 10 minutes and then the day starts, today has been so hot so ive sweated just sitting in the chair at the office. Got some more stuff done for Tracy Chapman, other then that nothing else happened. Payed the first rent today aswell, that sucked… Tomorrow is going to be a nice day at work, i can feel it! Yeah, also made some random graphics today while i was watching some series. Kinda fun to do something outside work. To be alittle creative on your own. Dont think this is so creative though, probably seen this like 1000 times before, i kinda like it though. Night.
