Det Andre Teatret is a new place in Oslo for improvised theatre and I make many of their posters. This time they wanted an XXXXL poster for the billboard outside the theatre at Lilleborg! If you're ever at Bjølsen/Thorsov make sure to stare!

Saatchi & Saatchi hired a bunch of illustrators for the new Toyota Yaris campaign and I was one of them. The piece above is my contribution. After having Yaris as a converstationpiece in many of my earlier comics, it felt sort of right to make a illustration for them for real.

Jokeren - Kjell Askildsen - stue from Bendik Kaltenborn on Vimeo.

I was sort of a VJ the other day, when Litteraturhuset in Oslo arranged a night in the name of the great writer Kjell Askildsen. I made a keynote show containing illustrations and animations that I screened while actoress Ane Dahl Torp read his novel The Joker on stage. Since I didn't want the visuals to get in the way of the story I focused mostly on atmosphere and the interior of the house in the novel and not on the characters. Artist Shwan Dler Qaradaki was doing the same thing with another of Askildsens great novels. The room was packed, people liked it and I got to meet Askildsen, who seemed to enjoy the whole thing. Given the nature of this show it was a one night only, making it impossible to present it in a right way, but I still wanted to post some of the images here.

SORRY - my first solo exhibition is closing in on all of us! It will take place at Galleri Storck at St.Hanshaugen in Oslo, and will contain new watercolours, posters, signs and a wallpainting.

If there's a theme, it's businesslife and trolls. To enhance the atmosphere, Daniel Herskedal has prodused a ambient soundtrack specially made for this exhibition! The whole show is kurated by the great Gerd Elise Mørland. Thanks to Arkan for delivering prints!
