Logo competition

[Your Name Here] — Tue, 25 May 2010 12:54:34 +0000

I recently entered this logo into a competition for Agora's new identity. Agora is an Icelandic startup
business in the making. Four designs were selected to take part in their crowd-sourcing experiment.
My logo did not win, but I got second place!

Here you can see Agora's winner.

I won a Oliver Jeffers book!

It just arrived. The AOI had 4 copes of the book The Heart and the Bottle to give away – and my name came out of the competition hat! It is also signed by the talented illustrator Oliver Jeffers himself.

Happy Easter!

New Logo

[Your Name Here] — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 22:24:50 +0000

I just finished designing this logo for Ragga, a great Icelandic knitting lady. After buying her yarn, book and dvd I decided to get in touch with her to se if she needed some knitting illustrations for her future books – and what do you know?! – I ended up designing her logo and hopefully some more will come.

Logorama the movie

[Your Name Here] — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 21:12:06 +0000

Just came across this animated short film Logorama. It's been nominated for the 2010 Oscar. Everything in Logorama, the characters, the buildings, even the universe is made up of well known logos, mascots and advertising images. 16 minutes of kick ass brand action if you tell me!

Knitting and knitting illustrations

[Your Name Here] — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 13:10:46 +0000

My fingers are itching to knit so I ordered some scrumptious yarn online called Nammi (nammi means candy), hand dyed Icelandic laceweight wool, the first Icelandic knitting lessons DVD and a knittng book, also Icelandic, called Prjóniprjón (Knitti-knit).

I am also hoping the knitting will inspire me to draw more knitting instructions. I really would like to draw some step by step illustrations for a knitting howto book.

Happy new year, again!

It is time to start working again after a long holiday in Iceland. I have put some more illustrations and designs on to the site since the new launch in November. Take a look.

Wacom Cintiq is definitely on my wish list.

Finally launching my new website!

[Your Name Here] — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:18:06 +0000

It has been over a year since this site has been life. I had a baby 16 months ago and it is
first now that I have taken the time to make a new website. Let me know what you think.

Happy New Year!
