Taking a break from illustration

I really enjoy the challenge of developing our new web services company, so I have decided to take a break from my illustration job until next spring. Maybe longer. The market for illustrations isn’t exactly booming at the moment, and has given me motivation to try something new. The one shown here is one of the last ones I did. I still keep a few steady clients though, who’s assignments fit in between everything else. Mostly on Sundays

I’m currently working by the pool outside our apartment complex in sunny Brazil. This is where the third partner of the new company is located. Jonny is our sales manager and head of quality control. He takes care of employing Norwegians here in Brazil, who work with clients via IP telephony and email.

My job is planning and organizing the development, and I’m also the user interface designer. I work closely with developer Eivind, striving to give our users the smoothest possible experience while using our upcoming services. We are going to have an international, multi-lingual website ready for launch in a little more than a month, and two other services for the Norwegian market ready for beta testing in December and January. Stay tuned for more.
