2 days ago Robert Mugabe landed in Copenhagen to attend the climate summit COP15.
A dictator with thousands of deaths on his conscience (understatement of the year) is free to walk around and see the sights and to do his share for the climate. (keeping the population numbers down).

We, Denmark, should be shipping him of to the criminal tribunal in Haag, but since he is here on official U.N. business, a little something called diplomatic immunity is keeping us from doing (like we even would if we could)... good days to be a dictator and lousy days to be a Dane.

All this fuelled me with anger. I tried to put my feelings into this illustration.

One of the many reasons why our climate is getting warmer and warmer.

this was for a recent article in the danish newspaper Kristeligt Dagblad, about the game being played over the future of our climate.

and this is how it was printed.

this was a half page illustration for a danish economy union magazine, for an article about how the financial crisis has changed things quite a bit, even for executives.

Another illustration for Kristeligt Dagblad. This one was for the ethics page, the topic was assisted suicide.

and this is how it was printed. I hated how the colors of those ads to the left mimicked the colors I had used, well basically I don't like having ads next to illustrations, but without them, no newspaper and with no newspaper no illustration assignment, it's a pill I have to swallow ...I guess.

This was for the cover of Kristeligt Dagblad, for the first article of two about prisoners. This one was about a recent statistic showing that 37 percent of all danish inmates have been placed away from their birth homes from an early age. With foster parents, in institutions and so on... frequently moving rapidly from one place to another, thus making prison the most stable home they have know (the text where the keyhole should be reads HOME).

It was printed nicely on the cover of the paper.

This was for the second article in the series. For a page 2. This time showing the same inmate socializing with his family. This will statistically make his return to society much easier. The guy on the right needs a shave and is just in a foul mood.

this one has not been published nor assigned. It was made out of pure resentment and feeling sick to my stomach about the recent release of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi. I can only how the relatives of the victims of the Lockerbie bombing feel from this, but it sure makes me feel odd inside. Muammar al-Gaddafi can now cleanse himself in oil deals with Britain.

The burka has not left the public debate here in Denmark, at least not yet. And as much as I just can't understand why anyone would wear a burka, I can't help but feel interested in the graphic feel of it. the above brush sketch and the vector drawing below are simply meant as exploration of this and thinking on paper. No offense meant so please don't take any.

So similar and yet so completely different. Again this came of out moving shapes around on paper, not from thinking about expressing problems in a smart way.

And just to end on a lighter note. Door to door collection laws on debate. Should more organizations be allowed to ring our doorbell and ask for donations? This was printed in Kristeligt Dagblad.
