death
Role: Graphic Designer/Illustrator
Agency: OWD
Poster / Illustration / Typography
Limited Edition Poster. Mushroom cloud drawn by thousands and thousands vector lines.
Quoted is J.Robert Oppenenheimer saying 'Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds" after witnessing the first detonation of a nuclear bomb.
In making it as detailed as possible i wanted to envoke the
incomprehensible scale of the cloud.
Jonas Rosén - Som det är
Role: Designer / AD
Agency: OWD
For: Jonas Rosén
Art Direction / Typography / Photography
Single cover for singer-songwriter Jonas Rosén.
For his single “Som det är” I wanted to recreate the feeling of melancholic nostalgia given by the song.
When I first heared the song I instantly thought of a picture I had taken by mistake in a cave in Belgium. It had that same feeling of vague and out of focus memories.
I also wanted to create a unique wordmark that sort of fighting itself. A half-serif.
It needed to have character enough to work well on its own yet still easilly pare with many different styles of imagery to be future proof.
While the title of the track had to convey the intimate and honest lyrics of the song.

Kilsviken Sans Serif is a display typeface with an kind demeanour. It comes all capitals with åäö.
Based on glyphs originally drawn for the logo of Kilsvikens Husteknik I later built a full display typeface. I wanted it to be strict legible and masculine.

Agency: OWD
For: Åke Westh AB
Logotype and costom typography for Åke Westh Konsult AB, a company working with future-proofing libraries and workspaces.

Rachael Tyrell
Role: Graphic Designer/Illustrator
Agency: OWD
Poster / Typography / Illustration
50x70cm Limited edition poster.
Blade Runner is one of my favourite movies of all time and in part this is my loveletter to it.
It’s the first movie to ever make me question my thoughts on artificial intelligence. Where we draw the line for what life is and what it isn’t.
The question of the soul and the subjugation of the things we precieve to be without it.
With thousands of vector tear drops, drawn one by one, we built the face of Rachael Tyrell from the 1982 classic Blade Runner. Printed on matte paper.
The deep red lips represent the role of Rachael as the question of love and sexuality.
The tears represent her sadness of being questioned as a sentient entity and also a nod to the Rutger Hauer monologue: “I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.“
All typography is custom made.

Badvice Official
Role: Creator / Graphic Designer
Agency: OWD
With: Pej van Urk
Social Media / Graphic Design
Badvice Official was a ‘motivational’ Instagram account on which I posted proverbs I completely disagree with.
I hope you don't like it.
I wanted to play with what we percieve as deep and profound thought.
More specifically on a surface centered platform (Instagram) where pretending often is seen equal to doing.
I wrote, designed and posted 111 grams under a period of two months.
I find it very interesting how we, as designers, can make things look and seem more real than they really are.
In a sense the power we’re given when surface is king. No matter the content.
Nancy’s Dead - Out of time
Role: Art Director / Graphic Designer
Agency: OWD
For: Nancy’s Dead
Nancy’s Dead is a grunge band based in Stockholm, Sweden.
For their EP ‘Out of time’ I wanted to visualize the song’s blistering grunge.
Using a picture from the bands chaotic rehersal space, gritted down and colourized together with a typography illustration of clock hands, showing time running out.
Fox Jumps
Role: Graphic Designer
Agency: OWD
For: Exploration
Fox Jumps is a sci-fi movie about scientists on a depleted planet earth, finding a new way of transportation through space and time. But the jumps are unpredictable and the journey dangerous.

Nancy - 1981
Role: Art Director / Graphic Designer
Agency: OWD
For: Nancy
Nancy is a grunge band based in Stockholm, Sweden. All typography custom.
The album revolves around the lead singers upbringing so I wanted to use a picture from the his own life at that time, enclosed by hard drawn typography almost cutting through his childhood.
The songtitles are hand written, everything coloured deep red to emphaize the harsh and torn feeling of the songs.
Shadi G - Where we go
Role: Art Director / Graphic Designer
Photographer: Johan Schmetzer
Agency: Rithuset
For: Shadi G / Goldamin Records
Shadi G is a electropop artist / producer out of Gotherburg, Sweden.
On the cover for the single 'Where we go' I wanted to translate the sense of floating wounder I got from hearing the song.
I chose to put Shadi inside a spacesuit. Face lit with intricate lighting. Using her face and expression to show that she's watching something wonderful and dreamlike. This something reflecting on her visor.
Audio Self Portrait
Role: Art Director / Graphic Designer
For: Personal project
Self protrait made by my voice recorded, drawn and arranged.
I wanted to make a self portrait that shared something different than an enterpretation of my physical being.
There are many things that I feel make me who I am. What I look like have little to do with that. It’s also something I can’t control.
What I can control is what I have to say. So I recorded myself, drew the soundwaves created and arranged them on a 50x70 poster, printed on matte paper.
