Quick sketch of self, done with Autodesks’s SketchBook (based on photograph in separate layer) on an iPad. Like a kid with a new toy. On-screen drawing without a stylus (bare fingers) feels a little strange, but a matter of habit, I’m sure.

(Of course, there’s wrinkles, too – details that I tend to omit from rough outlines like these. Doesn’t mean they don’t exist)

Yup, that’s what the blog’s been looking like for the past couple of days, while I thought I’d have the time to redesign it all – which, unfortunately, I did not. But I’m definitely on the right path, aiming for an ultra-minimalistic design.

Yup, that’s what the blog’s been looking like for the past couple of days, while I thought I’d have the time to redesign it all – which, unfortunately, I did not. But I’m definitely on the right path, aiming for an ultra-minimalistic design.

But I realise that I simply do not have the time to get the job properly done in a matter of days. This is going to take weeks, so I’ll just take it down for maintenance again, every now and then, if you don’t mind.

You will notice, in time, that the blog is going to be a lot less serious (for want of better words), much less ambitious, too, but hopefully much more frequent.

I am yet not departed. Actually, I’m not even sick, except perhaps, mentally. But I do struggle. With unimaginable loads of work, preventing me from blogging, twittering, facebooking – or leading a life of my own at all, truth be told.

For the better of a fortnight I’ve been my clients’ exclusive property 24/7, and am likely to remain so for most of summer, amid our family’s move from the Oslo region to the west coast.

I’m terribly sorry for late responses on comments, tweets, private emails and what have you, but can assure you that I’m very much alive, kicking and up and about.

Please forgive the absence, for the duration of I don’t know exactly how many assignments.

As for the rest of you: Enjoy summer (even if it pours down in these parts).

P.S. Some probably would have written something along the lines of Rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated, so I won’t. What is it with that phrase anyway? Do we think we introduce our readers to great wit by recycling it ad nauseam?
