In the beginning of february I started officially working as a project assistant at development and tourism in Træna Municipality. It was a busy first couple of weeks with the Træna Winter Festival, during which I caught the flu, which kept me home for a week. The last weeks we arranged a workshop and prepared for another workshop in march. Besides my work as a project assistant I've been considering taking up new projects, and working a little on commissons.

Instagram: Month of the thousands!

I had a pretty nice month on instagram in february with the first picture (the one of Jocundra, the sabertooth), was my very first image with over 1000 likes - a nice little benchmark. Soon after I also reached 1000 followers! Yay! Obviously instagrammers like big cats, so naturally I kept the kitties coming. They're all characters from Shadowtainted, a story I started working on years ago - I've wanted to pick up this project for ages and renew it.

At the end there you can see the beer labels I made for the Træna Winter Festival, and next is the only picture I made during my week of having the flu.

Panimated (commissions)

I worked on three commissions, an animation, a poster and a logo.

#1: continuation of the werewolf-animation.

This one is chugging along nicely, although progress stopped up completely during the first two-three weeks. I've done 50 out of 80 frames, so it's really not long until this piece is finally done! I think it's starting to look really nice. Also, my Toon Boom trials ran out so I finally went ahead and subscribed. Yay!

#2: Træna-Hawaii-Spelet poster.

This one I did for the local school-play. Did this one fairly quickly. I was also asked to paint a backdrop for the play, but when they asked I had two days to do it, and I had the flu pretty bad at that point. But at least I was able to make this poster.

#3: Logo for the Træna boating association.

This was the last thing I did this month, and one I've been thinking about doing for a while. I ended up with the sketch seen here. It's still a WIP and I'll polish it a little more before it's done.

Panimated (Personal work)

Most of the personal work I've done this month was seen on instagram. I've been writing and thinking more about renewing shadowtainted, but haven't made any art as of yet. I know I said so last month, but maybe you'll see more of this in march ;)
Perhaps worth mentioning is a snappy little video I put together and published the 3rd of february of my trip to Germany with two friends! It's just in my google drive right now, I might have to move it to somewhere permanent eventually.

Project assistant work

We had a super busy few weeks until the 13th of february, which was the last day of the Træna Winter Festival. I was responsible for pretty much everything that had to be printed, including posters, programs, maps, diplomas, beer-labels and welcome-letters. Most of them were edited or compiled versions of things we had made previously, but I still had plenty to do. During the weekend itself I was all over the place doing whatever needed be done - including cleaning cod-liver for a dinner and being a cashier behind the bar. A very busy weekend!

Below are some things I made, including the map and beer labels for the festival. The weekend after the festival we coordinated a workshop (that's what I made the wordcloud for) to map the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities in tourism and industry in Træna. It ended up being a fun, creative workshop, even though pretty much all of us had the flu. The beer was also a great success, and was served with the afforementioned codliver dinner.
