I'd deeply appreciate it! I've been searching for one for ages. In return I'll give you something cool, dunno what yet but trust me it's gonna be pretty damn cool :)

First;
Heres a commercial I made for a news paper, starring my very own sister :)
[link]

It's in Swedish, but you'll get it.


In other news; I QUIT MY JOB! :dummy:

I've been working as an animator/vfx dude for a looong time. And it has left me with ZERO time for personal projects, that's why you've seen a lot less plusone and just submissions in general from me.

Here's the new plan: Making a hell of a lot of short videos/films, post them on the net and do some random job on the side, just to pay rent. Expect more bumblebee and cat videos, but with more awesome attached. Trust me it's going to be great :batman:

Thanks a lot for your support, I probably wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for your encouragment over the years. YOU ROCK

Oh and heres a sneak peak at my new production company logo: [link]

Recently I directed a music video for a local band in my town called Trainspotters. I didn't wanna make the "cash-bling-money-hoes" hiphop video but rather something that felt more real (aside from the naked knight with the magic sword).

Check out the video here: [link]

If you haven't heard, Kanye West a.k.a "Gay Fish" went banana-sandwich on the VMA's yesterday. In the spirit of comedy o I fired up After Effects and did a quick remix, just for fun.

First, here's the original video: [link]

And here's my remix: [link]

I cannot believe they didn't pick this up. Check out the pilot episode of "Korgoth of Barbaria" here: [link]

I hate television nowadays, creative and funny stuff like this gets cancelled while cumstain shows like The Hills, My Super Sweet 16, Cribs etc etc gets all the air time.

Hello friends.

A couple of weeks ago I worked on a music video for the band Amorphis. I had one week to complete all the visual effects shots and there's visual effects in virtually every shot so it was pretty insane, but with coffeine pumping through my vains I managed to pull it off just in time. :phew:
Of course there's a lot of things to improve, but considering the timeframe I'm happy with the result.
Check out the video here: [link]

Here's an image example of the process: [link]

It's not supposed to be 4:3 though, someone at Nuclear Blast Records needs to learn how to upload a video to youtube..

Currently working on a music video for The Rasmus and the singer from Nightwish. Very exciting!
But I plan to take a break from animation/vfx for a while and focus more on personal projects, like posting stuff here, making short films, maybe even some music videos who knows.

I talked to a friend the other day about working in the U.S. He had worked at a motion graphics studio in L.A for about a year and from what I heard it didn't sound that great. He said that everything was very hierarchic and that as an animator he didn't have much say in the production, basically nothing at all. In fact he would get a lot of sh** for expressing his opinion to a "superior". In Sweden I guess things are similar in some jobs. But in the creative section, jobs that relate to advertising, animation etc the working conditions are usually very laid back and everybody is treated equal regardless of "rank". So I'm looking for some insight in all this from people in the U.S. Generally how are the working conditions? And I'm not looking to bash the U.S in any way, just want to know if this is generally true or if it was an exeption to where my friend was hired.

I'm looking to buy a new mp3 player, not an ipod though. Just want to be able to plug it in, insert my music in a folder and press play, don't need itunes to over complicate things. It should also handle videos. Do you guys have any tips/recommendations?

Don LaFontaine died on september 1. :(
He was a great guy, he even recorded a answering machine message for me a couple of months ago.

R.I.P Don, you were super-awesome.

I'm not very familiar with illustrator and need some help. I'm sure this is incredibly easy stuff but I have no clue what to do right now. I've exported some paths from photoshop and now I want to fill those paths. Problem is that it fills everything, even the intersections that I want transparent. How do I fix this?

Got it to work, thanks to :iconkevmeister: !

I'm reviving the ol' plusone comics and need a good domain name. As you may know getting a nice .com domain that isn't taken can be somewhat difficult. Okay listen to this, you're not gonna belive it; plusonecomics.com is TAKEN!!! plusone.com okay I can understand that, but plusonecomics?! Come-on!!

I've been trying to think of a good alternative but I just can't think of any.. So I'm asking for your help. It needs to be a .com.

I've also contemplated renaming the whole comic to something else, still keep the name plusone for the main character though.

Anyhow, I'm out of inspiration so please help me here.

I've got a couple of job offers from some higher profile firms in Los Angeles and I think working there would be a great way to push my creativity and skillset to a whole new level. + it seems like a really cool place to be. But I haven't made up my mind yet, anybody here from L.A with a little insider info on how it is to live there?

The one thing I'm most worried about is getting mugged/stabbed/shot. Haven't even seen a real gun in my entire life.. And from what I've heard there's alot of them over there :fear:

Also, in general, how are the people in L.A?

Hey people!

I've just submitted my entry for an ad-competition, please go to [link] and vote 5 stars, I would really really really appreciate it. Could use some extra $$$ right now ;)

Btw, it's a really cool site where they have continuous competiotions and you can earn some extra cash if you win.

I enjoy posting stuff on Deviant Art and I like posting my works in high resolution without any watermarks so you can enjoy them in its full glory. What I don't like is when some assholes decides to steal my work for their own beneficial gain. That's happened to me a couple of times now and it's really starting to piss me off.

Yesterday I found out that [link] are using my plusone wallpaper to promote their stupid-ass website. I especially like how under "terms and conditions" it reads: "All graphics, logos and branding contained on the MSNemoticons.org site are the sole property of MSNemoticons.org; distribution or copying of such content is expressly prohibited."

Great going assholes, now apply the same fucking terms and conditions to yourself.

I've tried emailing them but they ignore me. What do I do? I don't wanna be associated with their stupid smiley-site. Is there something DA can do to stop them? I really need advice.
