Over the last few days I’ve been doing some teaching workshops in Berlin. On Friday I was sitting at the end of the table, with 16 students around me. I asked them to draw me from their perspective in whatever style they wanted to. This was the outcome.

Some Type Of Wonderful asked me to do a poster that somehow had something to do with the month October, and with typography. The image is done in 3 layers, but everything kind of blends together. In the background there is a distorted landscape image that I worked from a photograph that I took on my island, Hrísey, last October. On top of that, using the shapes from the illustration, I wrote the name of the month with big transparent letters. Then in the foreground I drew thin white letters, also built by using the grid below. They spell out what the dictionary told me about October; “The month following September and preceding November.”
