The Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik has been sentenced custody of min. 10 years and max. 21 years in prison, which means that he has been declared sane and not insane.

Anders Breivik has previously said that he would appeal the verdict if he was declared insane and was given a treatment sentence. So mass murderer can be happy judgment states that he was aware of what he did on 22 July 2011.

The budget for 2013 is in place. Agreement has been reached between the government and The Red-Green Alliance.
Finance Minister Bjarne Corydon (the financial Godfather of the government) describes it as a financially responsible agreement, but The Red-Green Alliance is not satisfied with the social aspects of the agreement..... they tried to put presure on him during the negotiations, but didn't succeed...

The annual bookfair - Bogforum

Last week the annual satirical magazine "Blæksprutten" (The Squid) came out for the 124th. year. I have been a part of the group of political carttonist and writers who creates the content for the last four years, and hope to continue for the years to come.
This year I collaborated with two of the writers: Mette Frobenius and Jens Ole Rasmussen, and did a couple of my own ideas as well.
Today I was interviewed about political satire and my big graphic novel project at the annual book fair Bogforum by Matthias Wivel. If you read this before sunday evening and are in the Copenhagen area, I would strongly recommend you to go and experience the annual bookfair .... and check out the new area for comicbooks.

Here are some pictures of me from todays interview, and a one page political satire on the primeministers lack of popularity - based on the old childrens book "Palle alene i verden"
Jens Ole Rasmussen came up with the idea and wrote the text.

I recently attended a three day introduction-to-animation workshop with my fellow book illustration colleagues from the danish writers association. Bringing book illustrations to live seems to be the direction for the future, so it was great to be giving this opportunity to experience and hear what it takes to animate and what the different possibilities are.

I did this illustration for and article about the three day workshop, that will be printed in our membership magazine.
