June 16, 2010 4 days til the London move. Have some stuff that need to be fixed before I go though. Also booked a seat at the Vray Masterclass at Escape Studios in early July. That will rock for sure! Signed up as a BETA tester for the Foundry's Mari as well, but haven't had the time to fiddle around with it yet. May 24, 2010 Looking over my projects done the past years, have at least 6 new things to put on the showreel. I also worked on a shot for possibly the angriest band out there - Raised Fist - together with Axel Söderlund and friends. Will be a cool video for sure! May 23, 2010 Back in Sweden for a few weeks. Just completed six tv spots at Nexus in London, and now off to some resting and bbq! I'm moving back to London in June, where I will start working at Jellyfish Pictures on a big production as a Lighting TD. Really looking forward! May 2, 2010 Been busy working on various productions recently. Also went freelancer from being employed for the past eight years. I'm currently living in both Sweden and London, and I work at Nexus Productions doing Nuke Compositing right now.
