Our ”new” Fiat Multipla 100, 16v 1.6l ELX (the juicy version with all the options), with 97k on the clock arrived on thursday! One of the few cars out there which actually has an original and distinct design. Weekend was spent taking unnecessary long drives to buy bread etc; stereo loaded with italian spaghetti-western-music and both sunroofs open...
Return from Berlin
27|04|10
Back again from Berlin and working in our studio. Not to much time to update the blog these days but we’ll post some random pictures from the trip. The Pictoplasma conference gave as usual a visual overload of character design, we met some great people and signed up a new talented artist for the Papp exhibition. Read More...

After some three months mail correspondence with the real estate agent our house is paid for and the contract signed. While searching the webarchives of the Drangedal history preservation project we discovered this old photograph of our house. We guess it to be a photo taken to document the newly built house since the sidings of the groundfloor, the store, are not yet painted. Not yet sure of the age of this house or the identity of the different people on the photograph

Datsun Fairlady Hotrod Project
26|03|09
Spring is here and we made a test run with the Fairlady: at three quarter throttle the front wheel lifts from the ground, and a two meter high fountain of debris is kicked up from the rear end. The Force 32 big block engine delivers insane amounts of rpm and hp for its size.

Framvannet
24|08|08
Ingrid poses for the camera during our evening fishing trip with grandfather Kai-Erik. Framvannet (Frontwater) is the foremost of the two first lakes of Grytdalen in Tordal. The lake is a bit too heavily populated resulting in fish which are too small for the seasoned fisherman/woman, but still great fun (and taste). Read More...

This is the second time we took the kids too our favourite place in Norway. The Bunes-beach on the west-coast of Lofoten is a fantastic place, a kilometer wide and equally deep with finegrained white sand. Here are some pictures from the trip and a 360 degree Quicktime VR-movie. Read More...
