hiphop - Faktaløve (childrens book)

Øyvind Holen has written yet another book about Hip Hop. This one is slimmer and is aimed for a younger group of readers than the last one. The target is 7-9 year olds. It didnt require as much art as the other book, but i managed to do a few illustrations in it as well as the cover. Here is one version of the cover:

The cover that was used can be seen HERE. Personally i prefer the colors in the one above + the fact that RUN DMC and Chuck D is in it:) But who'd wanna learn about those old-timers these days, right?

hiphop - graffiti * rap * breaking * dj-ing (2009)

This book is written by Øyvind Holen and illustrated by me. It's a factual book for children about the different elements in hip hop (target group 8-14 Years).

There are cartoons inside (not pictured), but i feel that they were a little rushed and could have been better.

All these drawing were done pretty small (A4) so what you see in the book is the original size(!). They work allright, but i cringe when i see the rough lines!

Some of Norway's Rap elite...

With this book both Øyvind and me won the award for best factual book for children and youth from the Norwegian  Ministry of Culture. That was pretty cool.
