A dream in a shell

Dear BZPower, this one is for you and all your supporters and fans. "You'll take it from here"

I have always wanted to show my gratitude for all the years of passion, ideas, feedback and greatness that has filled the BZPower blog and community from the early days of the legend until today, and what better way than to do some creative work to show my appreciation.

This design is actually a suggestion for the BZPower, Mahri themed t-shirt competition that is currently running on the BZPower site.

This is an original tribute piece done exclusively for BZPower and the fans.

Exactly this point of the legend means a lot to me. The point where Matoro sweeps in, grabs the Mask of Life and takes the challenge and saves the day. The words are for all the fans who wear the t-shirt and keep the legend alive: “We’ll take it from here”. Especially at this point in time, the fans are the legend.

Here is a 2 color versions of the possible t-shirt

The INKredible Adventures of Drawboy. Ready For Summer!

Drawboy has found the coolest set of wheels to go cruising for sun and surf. The cute Bubble car from BMW and from a different century.
See it, draw it, own it (in your mind) Once you have drawn an object, location or person the shapes and details are yours to keep so the pencil is always in the suitcase, ready for new well designed beauties, shorelines and adventures.

The INKredible Adventures of Drawboy - Making curves

Go make your own lines on some infinite pure surface. Make your creative mark straight from your brain onto paper. Consuming impressions is the most sustainable joy available and drawing is the best way to use your impressions and pratice your curves:)
If you want to feel the rush and speed of creativity you need to give in to chance and gravity. Falling or flying, that is a question of opinion. If you aim high you need to go downwards in-between. Drawing is all about the right mix of curves and straight lines.

"Getting the impossible shot" Tribute to Clark Little and the beauty of water

The Hawaiian photographer Clark Little is daily posting the most fantastic and inspiring photos from inside the waves and waters of Hawaii.
https://clarklittlephotography.com
To celebrate his great work I wanted to try to do the impossible shot as a drawing where you are both inside and above water with the photographer in the eye of the action. Right where the water meets the air is the spot where Clark catches his amazing pictures and with risk and great skill he really brings out the pure magic of moving water.

The water surrounding Denmark is quite a bit colder but we all know that all water on the planet somehow is connected and what we do here will have affect in far away places. Water should be treated with the respect that it deserves since it is the only single thing that makes this planet different from any other dust ball floating around in space. 

Thanks Clark for getting into the eye of the action and getting all those impossible shots.

The INKredible Adventures of Drawboy #26

"You are what you draw and each drawing is an image of you".
DrawBoy is originally a title I gave myself when people asked what my job was at the advertising agency I used to work at. The name kind of grew on me because it describes the craft of drawing in it's purest form. This was and is the craft I love and it is my favourite meditation and expression.
So DrawBoy is my superhero and alter ego. He tries to catch as many impressions as possible, stack them in his memory and merge them into visuals and concepts. It all starts with the simple pencil and the white surface of the paper or whatever media you choose.
"So go chase those images and make them your own. Consuming and creating images are the most sustainable type of consumption you can imagine"

Getting closer to Res Waveborn

"I'm told I'm human, whatever that means?"
Res Waveborn and Rebel Nature has taken a new small but very important step on  the long journey toward the "movie" dream. Thanks to the dedicated crew. This is what a reallife adventure should feel like.

Merry Christmas from Goodman Rock and Rebel Nature

Snow falls heavy around the rocky outpost in the middle of the ocean nicknamed Goodman Rock. The lights are on and we are planning that 2017 is going to be Rebel Epic on many accounts. The amazing crew at Ghost has been busy doing a lot of other mind-blowing new projects that you will hear about very soon. But for now have a fantastic holiday, merry christmas and get ready for an epic 2017. #RebelNature #GoodmanRock #GhostVFX #FaberFuel

A tribute to all the true heroes of Bionicle. You the fans!

"Mask of time" made from pure protodermis, lie waiting in the sand, waiting to be discovered. Waiting to give it's bearer the ultimate power. Even a Turaga who have seen it all will search for that. The power to change time. The power to create legends. It is right there, grab it and grab it now!

"The stories we hear and the stories we tell, shapes who we are and what we do". This is what I have learned from working with creative storytelling through almost 30 years and no story has proven this stronger than Bionicle. The fans was, is and will be the true heroes of a story that becomes a legend.


I made this piece of Bionicle fan art earlier this year, on request of the french fansite Bionifigs.com. It is a tribute celebrating their 10-years anniversary. At the same time it is a tribute to all who have been a part of this great adventure.
Please share this with all the fans you know. This one is for you!

Res Waveborn's leap of faith

Creating the new RebelNature story universe and launching the startup feels a lot like taking a "leap of faith", jumping into the unknown. You have to believe in the future and the survival skills you have learned through the years. One thing is certain, it is not going to be easy or routine.

Inktober 2016 - The INKredible Adventures of Drawboy #12

"As I walk through the valley of the shadow of waste"

 

worried is putting it mildly. 

Is this really the legacy we will leave behind on planet earth. Maybe creativity is the answer. draw what you dream about instead of consuming it and leaving it as waste.
