making a miniature garden

The the kids pages theme for june is: the garden.
Donkey and his friend the pig is trying to figure out how to make a garden. The pig is pretty sure it's all about digging deep enough. So they both dig like maniacs and end up with a big hole in the ground, when donkeys mom all of a sudden discovers what is going on and make them stop.
There is an instruction to how you can make your own miniature garden in three easy steps.
The spread is intended for kids 3-5 years old.

sketching animals

Yesterday I took a trip to the Copenhagen Zoo to sketch animals, with my friend Magnus Værness.
Here are the results from the day + a photo of Magnus drawing a Kattalemur. The young ones can crawl out between the bars of the cage, as you might be able to spot. Here you can see a little movie my friend Ib Kjeldsmark shot at the same Zoo a little while. Here you can see how a Kattalemur manage to get through the bars and crawl outside the cage.
Theres also a photo of a cow with a bra on its utter. Very strange...the only place I have seen this before is in Jørn Villumsens cartoons in Politiken.

Rockstar quotes - a book pitch

I am doing this book-pitch in collaboration with graphic designer Leo Scherfig form The Legalizer and Turbine Forlaget .
Hopefully a bunch of the big bookstores will get excited with our book-pitch, and pre-order a whole stack of books.
Until we hear some feedback from the big bookstores, the project is on hold.

Drawings from the play "Ordet"

Earlier on this month Theatre drawer Flemming Nyborg from Politiken, invited me to come with him to a play at the Royal Theatre and sit with him and the other newpaper theatre drawers: Tove Nørgaard (JP), Erik Werner (WA) and Claus Seidel. The play we were going to draw was "Ordet" by danish poet and priest Kaj Munk. A play about having true faith in God and miracles.
It's a huge challenge to try and capture not only the characteristics of the actors, but also the drama, from first row. Well this was my debut, I had a lot of fun and hopefully I will get better by time, so it'll look more like a drawing and less like a wanna-be poster.

Thanks for stopping by
