The tallest man on earth

Karl B — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 10:52:06 +0000

I highly recommend this artist and his two albums “The wild hunt” and “Shallow grave”. His voice sounds alot like Bob Dylan, only better, and his guitar playing is superb. Right now both albums are going on repeat on my stereo, on my portable device and in my head and functions as inspiration for my next exhibition (more info on that will come soon, really soon).

So be sure to check him out, The tallest man on earth. If you´re going to listen to one track on his myspace page, listen to “I won’t be found”. You can also buy and download the albums on emusic.com.

I just realised that this blog post looks alot like I am promoting emusic.com and The tallest man on earth. This is of course not the case. But if, by any chance, they see this and wants to give me alot of money for mentioning them – feel free to do so…

First exhibition in five years is about to become reality

Karl B — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 06:28:11 +0000

Just wanted to let you know the good news. My first exhibition in five years is about to become reality. All that is left is a few details and of course me finishing my paintings. So I can’t give you a date just yet, but I can say that if all goes well I will display my latest work sometime this fall.

I will post more info about this soon when everything is more clear to me. I’ll leave you with this Abraham Lincoln qoute as an explanation to my five exhibition free years: Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

Painting again!

Karl B — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 14:42:00 +0000

Been having a kind of writers block for painters for a while. It’s over now. I’m finally painting again. Looking forward to finally having an exhibition again. My first in quite a while…

I’ll keep you posted with updates and maybe, just maybe, some images of my new work. But I am the secretive type so don’t get your hopes up…

Do you own a painting I’ve made? Help me!

Karl B — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 07:31:41 +0000

Through the years I have, and this is me bragging, sold a lot of paintings. Almost all of them actually, I only have a handful left, which is nice. But this also means that there have been occasions when paintings has been sold really fast and I never got the chance to take a picture of them…or maybe I was too lazy to do it.

So, if you own a painting or any kind of artwork that I’ve made that isn’t displayed on this site please take a picture of it and send it to me. Preferably taken without flash in a well-lit room.

And who knows, helping me with this might be rewarding. I have a few things that I plan to give away to people who help me with this. I will make a random selection and send these gifts out sometime next year.

Use the contact me-page if you want to send me a picture. I will then give you my e-mail address so that you can send me the picture.

Album cover for Abhinanda

Karl B — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 09:45:21 +0000

My most recent work is an album cover for the Swedish hardcore band Abhinanda. I will post pictures of the album as soon as I have a copy. Meanwhile, enjoy a picture of the full painting. It was made especially for their brand new japanese compilation featuring a new song called Still united. I got my inspiration from this track and the painting is called Still united: It’s a long way to sanity.

Translated info on the album.

Be sure to check out more info on Abhinanda:

Almost done!

Karl B — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 17:01:07 +0000

I’m almost done with uploading pictures. Check out the page Paintings & artwork where you’ll find pictures from almost all of my exhibitions. I still have to give all the pictures the right titles, so you won’t be the only one that doesn’t understand the titles at the moment. Even I have trouble making sense of some titles…

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

New website

Karl B — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 09:06:08 +0000

Finally I’m about to create a new and improved website to hold pictures of my paintings. I’m still working on transferring content from my old website. You can still visit my old site to view pictures of my art.

Contact me if you have any questions.
