This is my last blog post. But don't despair! I have now started up a Tumblr blog instead. Hopefully I'll be a bit more vigourous with the updates! Perhaps see you there? I'll keep this one running as an "archive" though.<br />

Here's a piece I recently did for the Italian sportswear brand Dainese, featured in a digital magazine that celebrates the first decade of the company: the 1970's. The brief was to create a busy scene with iconic characters from the decade. You can see the magazine <a href="http://www.thechurchoflondon.com/work/customer-publishing/dainese-presents-legends/" target="_blank">here!</a></div>Bjorn Rune Liehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16218311513724150442noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831690134277620960.post-8789768973513484562012-05-09T03:13:00.001-07:002012-05-25T02:19:52.474-07:00Visuelt 2012 Nomination<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am really pleased to say that my cover artwork was nominated at this years "Visuelt" competition in Oslo, Norway! The gold award went to my old childhood friend Magnus (MVM) and was well deserved! Check out the website for the competition <a href="http://www.grafill.no/visuelt/illustrasjon/emballasje-og-omslagsillustrasjon" target="_blank">here</a> . A lot of amazing work from Norway's finest graphic artists. </div>

A bit different this. I had to draw a cast of Russian politicians and oligarchs battling it out in a variety of ways. Most of these guys I knew next to nothing about and I guess I captured the "likeness" with varying degrees of success. I also came down with a proper flu before the deadline, and had to sit up late into the night, high on Lemsip and cough syrup, wrapped in blankets blankets, clutching a hot water bottle. </div>Bjorn Rune Liehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16218311513724150442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831690134277620960.post-83491332104176170772012-03-28T04:01:00.003-07:002012-03-28T04:12:10.747-07:00Bikes!<span class="Apple-style-span"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_KLbqQoDN19C_wBri2zg3N8-3L7lcB2IZ5DETzYa4f1OuqWu9YfB-xwy7q6Fs1EA0MSrnPDZGaZ3rFrJAdWALNt2nvZfEYqrLPnFOClNiXF4peuTJ7u3L6zaFDtk1wYw2PzC66yM31PG2/s1600/TANDEM.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_KLbqQoDN19C_wBri2zg3N8-3L7lcB2IZ5DETzYa4f1OuqWu9YfB-xwy7q6Fs1EA0MSrnPDZGaZ3rFrJAdWALNt2nvZfEYqrLPnFOClNiXF4peuTJ7u3L6zaFDtk1wYw2PzC66yM31PG2/s400/TANDEM.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724902203160127010" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1pNN514LRsuq5Ss_V_g6fWqVW6dVCz7X4rNGXd6hyphenhyphenOxiMZimTRdyHyImCBnq3tPlCwzUvfonF8eW_41UsGHpGePQf5JdWr9PH2AwaAbgC-qM4acIOCeubFfOhtLZ0XI67H00nJdesiazJ/s1600/Racer.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1pNN514LRsuq5Ss_V_g6fWqVW6dVCz7X4rNGXd6hyphenhyphenOxiMZimTRdyHyImCBnq3tPlCwzUvfonF8eW_41UsGHpGePQf5JdWr9PH2AwaAbgC-qM4acIOCeubFfOhtLZ0XI67H00nJdesiazJ/s400/Racer.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724902195398400818" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxVRD3nw1m0fgUTrpD90OTOn1cajTMhIsp-oFN0jZljCmRhnQppnKEmK5mj3-LLvN6XCoMRXf82zBQ6ASF0jB_JUbMWs2v5BnvTMoETOFVBgJm4No10w6pdwyUTx5PQYwxoJYRidhJqrqu/s1600/Lady+bike+.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxVRD3nw1m0fgUTrpD90OTOn1cajTMhIsp-oFN0jZljCmRhnQppnKEmK5mj3-LLvN6XCoMRXf82zBQ6ASF0jB_JUbMWs2v5BnvTMoETOFVBgJm4No10w6pdwyUTx5PQYwxoJYRidhJqrqu/s400/Lady+bike+.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724902189722740114" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdblcod60qluJkt84P9iZzMBQ0ah3AWfiSYwwhPOt22cnMrt4w3UTsMi8E0cBK0fnmtUxbKvB4BR23BGQaRdsrFw16n6h7iLjzX6B4Ivo9fGLLc5uB3G8lrBG3L3Lyrww7yzX_5gwiSt1b/s1600/chopper.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdblcod60qluJkt84P9iZzMBQ0ah3AWfiSYwwhPOt22cnMrt4w3UTsMi8E0cBK0fnmtUxbKvB4BR23BGQaRdsrFw16n6h7iLjzX6B4Ivo9fGLLc5uB3G8lrBG3L3Lyrww7yzX_5gwiSt1b/s400/chopper.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724902184802555842" /></a><br />Yikes!

They have grown and produced fruit from their family orchard for 5 generations and in recent years diversified into making apple and pear cider (Perry). LOBO means Wolf in Spanish and Portuguese and is also a variety of apple which they grow. <div>The brief was to portray the wolf character as 'sophisticated' and 'metrosexual', so I gave him a bit of a Frank Sinatra makeover in the end. Although I had to reign in my usual "wonkyness" to a degree I think the end result is pretty good. Some times you simply have to deliver what is right for the job/client.

Not really breaking news anymore, but here's my contribution to Nobrow 5: "Some of my favourite things". The brief was to create a repeat pattern out of 20 of my favourite things(...), 3 spot colours + GOLD! The repeat pattern was extremely difficult to work out, and was just totally against the grain of how I usually make pictures, so I decided to keep the colours as simple as possible, just using pink and yellow to create the black..(or dark blue, as it turned out!) I'm fairly happy with the result, but it got a little bit too technical this time for me to really enjoy the process.</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf9qn-nDuRJMjsmiVZd6h4jdCFdmBdTVqR2T8WqliEh1aLjCKwMiB8t0PbFXXwxWGlGU0utg8LKqi-STZkELmsLDyRepR7HHoqPE4SVh5uMEa-uIZ33jYTVgB0PlbjkGNH4_KYOf8HUeFQ/s1600/Nobrow+5-+Bjorn+Lie+flat+72.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><br /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzx9vkJJagb35BsrmBOjV5h4frLo1z0IjAf5pX8kespBUzmYVJgqqFjWMVN4hodnNXW-HAA-5DI377797wWHmmXNUE6fcj4U-j1YxhyphenhyphenH4px6ebPabcAe2lUoZXd9XQoiHLbYIPuapZmX1S/s1600/IMG_9287.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzx9vkJJagb35BsrmBOjV5h4frLo1z0IjAf5pX8kespBUzmYVJgqqFjWMVN4hodnNXW-HAA-5DI377797wWHmmXNUE6fcj4U-j1YxhyphenhyphenH4px6ebPabcAe2lUoZXd9XQoiHLbYIPuapZmX1S/s400/IMG_9287.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603594730665744642" /></a></div><div>As for the actual image, I decided to take on a different "persona", with a more interesting collection of "favourite things" than I myself have... I chose to be an explorer/botanist/adventurer from the early 1900's, loosely based on the exploits of Col. Percy Fawcett, a renegade explorer of the Amazon jungle, who vanished without a trace in 1925 serching for El Dorado(or the city of Z, as he called it)...The creature in the middle started out a tiger, but morped into a bat.
