2007 retrospective

What did I do in in the year 2007

# I must have been quite active this year when it comes to art projects. My 4.2GB 2007 folder contains 20 folders with different paintings and photo manipulations. Some of them aren't finished yet, but I think it is a satisfying number in fact that I also have 5 folders each containing about 2-3 practices and pieces I did in art school spring 2007.

#I started to post videos of my speedpaintings on youTube. I have also started to go more traditional lately.

# As for education. I finished my year at art school. Parallel to that I am doing my bachelor in computer science. Right now I have 1.5 years left.
Fun subjects this year was data structures, human computer interaction (HCI), software design (the stuff with UML), project managment and web development.
Subjects I didn't enjoy was probably maths and business economics. My grades got super great this semester as I didn't have to focus on two different schools at the same time

# Exposure and fame! I still have to smile a bit when I found a blog or article where my name was enlisted among "Happy Famous Artists". I don't think I am really there yet, folks.

# I had my painting Kamicarus exhibited in Bucharest, Romania. That was cool, because it was my first exhibition where I was treated well as an artist and had my work printed and numbered. I already start to receive checks in the mail

# Was projected on some gigantic LED screens in Hong Kong. They had an art project with a couple of selected artists.

# Featured in Expose 5 with my piece Duchamp' Saw.

# A two-page article about MYSELF in a norwegian magazine called Pegasus.

# I got featured in the second issue of our very own dA based futureartmagazine future-art-magazine.deviantart…

# I have started to exhibit and sell art prints at a local cafe.

# I don't seem to remember more at this point

# Jobs. I haven't really done much commissions this year. I have painted collector's game cards for Fantasy Flight Games and Orion's Bell. But not enough to make myself a living out of it. I have actually rejected some pretty cool projects because I simply didn't have time or energy. But I have sold a few custom prints! I worked as a bartender/waiter at a hotel almost the entire summer.

# Life. I moved to Oslo during summer. The rest is pretty private and I don't really enjoy sharing that with all my scary +watchers. I have had my ups and downs like everyone else.

So whats my new year's resolutions? Hah, I don't think I have any. I don't remember my 2007'ones. Live unpredictable is my word of the day.
