Dorte's Design & Illustration @doelgolo-blog - Tumblr Blog

A few days ago I sent in my submission for the Brick Lane Bikes x Santafixie 2018 Crit Race Team Design Competition ---> https://www.instagram.com/p/BebGbKJAmKo/?taken-by=bricklanebikes

My submission here ----> https://www.instagram.com/p/BekoAAxHJ0Q/?taken-by=dortegl

This was super fun to work with since I love working with colour combinations, patterns and collages. And suddenly while I was drawing the bike frames they started to look more and more like animals...that’s how the whole idea came together.

New episode of Meningen podcast

Yesterday night we published the new episode, #12 of Meningen podcast, a poetry podcast that me and two friends are producing. It consists of poems that people read and send in to us, then we make an episode out of it, sometimes with music and sound art too. We usually have a broad theme to inspire people to write something. This time it was “Väntrummet” (the waiting room) and we received some amazing texts and sound art.

2018 work & plans

– Right now I’m redesigning my portfolio and also I’ve figured I should start a webshop with illustrations and prints. Looking forward to that!

– I’m going through my older illustrations and projects from the past years to see what could be interesting to make something more out of, it’s interesting to look at things I’ve almost forgotten about!

– Some days ago I delivered a bunch of zines for the small design shop Butikken in Copenhagen! 10 different ones. Visiting Butikken made me inspired to make some new zines/artist books.

– I’m working for Kulturgatan again, making some new graphic material for when they open up next summer again.

I’m just going to talk about what I’ve been working on for the past year.

Spring 2017 I got my bachelor degree from KADK, in Copenhagen, having studied Visual Communication there for three years. So about half a year ago I was stressing out a bit trying to finish up my bachelor project which was a hand drawn graphic novel - “Krympningen” and at the same time working with the visual identity for Kulturgatan Bodafors .

After that I took some time off to clear my head, then in the autumn 2017 I worked with Demokrativerkstan making a new website for them and a logo.

In october I got the opportunity to rent my own studio space in a house here in Malmø where about 19 other young creative’s work from. I’ve work with illustrations, prints etc building my portfolio.

In september I made an illustration for the magazine Brand .

In november I took part in a market at Ungdomshuset in Copenhagen, where I sold prints, zines, pins with my illustrations etc.

In the next post I will tell you about what I’m currently up to!

A new start

It was a long time ago I posted something here, recently I’ve only posted projects at www.dortegl.se which is my portfolio. I’ve figured I should also have a blog where I post what I’m currently working on whether it’s a graphic design project for a client or a personal zine or a series of illustrations. So - I’m gonna try and make this blog that place! :-)
