I painted 28 super-quick A2 posters in support of a new campaign in Copenhagen, Denmark called X-Felt. The point of X-Felt is to encourage young people and politicians to talk to each other. Then hopefully, young people get what they want and also get involved in the political process. There was a private launch in the Cafe Gallery ‘Din Nye Ven’ and I put up the posters for a one-night-only surprise show.

There’s a good story behind some of the images – to find out more visit my blog page.

Just got back from Berlin after the Illustrative ‘09 opening, a real honor to be there alongside artists like Keiichi Tanaami & Erik Sandberg. The exhibition looked really great in the beautiful venue, Villa Elisabeth, a century old building that was originally constructed as an office for the church next door.

If you’re in Berlin before November 1st, be sure to visit the Illustrative ‘09 exhibition at Villa Elisabeth, Invalidenstr. 3, 10119, Berlin.
