Last week, we were excited to receive our copy of 'Norwegian Illustrators no.4' featuring work from White Hole. The catalogue contains some of the best in contemporary Norwegian illustration, presenting work from 92 illustrators and cartoonists. It is a great resource for anybody interested in illustration and can be purchased from Magikon Forlag.
Our sister company, White Ink design studio has been posting some interesting collages made from fragmented remnants of old religious propaganda. Produced by Tine Merakerås at White Ink, the compositions disrupt and rearrange the printed matter to suggest new order and meaning.

One evening in December 2011, Ian attended a poetry and story recital by Oslo based photographer John Hughes. Inspired by his tales of chance encounters, missed opportunities, drunken lust, the joys of smoking, desperation, loneliness, success, failure and contradiction, we contacted John to ask if he would be interested in collaborating with us on a project that would combine John's words and White Hole's pictures.
We were over the moon when he said that he would work with us so we started developing ideas immediately. Unfortunately due to other commitments, we had to put the project on ice for a few months but we are pleased to say that we are now picking it back up again and are excited to see how it evolves.
The image above is a sketch based on one of the poems set in and around the Belle Vue pub.
