for the TV-programme "Junkie - whats your drug?" at DR3

I did a lot of visual work for the 6 "Junkie" episodes that ran recently on National TV DR3. In January I did portraits of the three test-persons/Junkies : Nikhil - addicted to social medias, especialy his phone, Jacob addicted to food - both cooking and eating it ... and finally Nanna who has been a smoker since the age of eleven. The 6 programs deals with addiction - how the brain works when we first get addicted and when we try to get out of addiction.
Besides the portraits of the three "Junkies" I did a bunch of Adobe After Effect Animation films with the amazingly talented Hvorforikk-studio guys (Mikkel, Ditlev and Martin) = small breakers, that explains the science behind the different test each subject is put through.

Giving a talk about Graphic recording at a Design School

April the 9th. I gave a talk about Graphic Recording, Sketch Notes and Graphic Facilitation in front of the first, second and third year visual communication students at my old school: Designskolen Kolding. I had prepared everything beforehand and hardly did any live drawing examples in front of the students .... it's kind of difficult to prepare and talk about something that in its nature is unprepared ..... I mean you listen, synthesize the content and connect the information = write and draw ... you are behind the process = picking up the points, as when you give a talk/ speech, where you know what you're gonna say (hopefully) ... and everything is very prepared. Its my feeling that it went well and the students liked it ... especially my "what you can do with illustration"-chart

Dubai sketch and Khalifa-selfie

Last month I was doing graphic recording in Dubai at a business workshop for a shipping management company. I arrived thursday the 20th. early in the morning ... spend the day getting briefed + planning the workshop ... and friday to sunday I was drawing all day long in a conference room at the 4th. floor of the world tallest hotel = The JW Marriott Marquis Hotel, Dubai Business Bay ... 70 stories tall ... but I only stayed at the 21st. floor where I was able to do these two sketches early in the morning (adding the white later). If I looked down left I could see the worlds tallest building = Burj Khalifa

Everytime I go traveling its my ambition to do a quick sketch of the place ... Last time I was in Dubai for a workshop in 2012 I did these sketches

I turned in these three cartoons for the Niels Bugge Cartoon-Award - I hope I'll get invited to the award ceremony / party, that I've heard should be an event one should not miss out on ...
