Sad Days Paintings made in a period of sad days.<br> I could not work in my life affirming style in simple shapes and bright colors.<br> It hurt to do it.<br> It hurt not to do it.<br> I have called my works from this period of time "Sad Days".<br> I don't usually tell about this.<br> But the paintings tell the story.<br> A story about a mental state of manic depression.<br> A story about life and death.<br> No more.<br> No less. http://www.lonvig.dk/exhibition3.htm http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss en-us Tue, 13 Feb 2007 12:21:27 +0100 Sun, 19 Dec 2004 22:48:52 +0100 FeedForAll v2.0 (2.0.0.4) http://www.feedforall.com Have a nice cup of Coffee: Buy Mugs with Asbjorn Lonvig Surround Art Motifs...

The first phase of my Art Portal project was based on on-demand print.
This next phase is based on on-demand manufacturing.
It means that the mayor, the priest and ordinary people can do their own personal designs
in ties, mugs, T-shirts, caps, mouse pads, stamps, posters, postcards...
I have prepared MERCHANDISE products based on my own art works.
70 MERCHANDISE products for New Hedensted , 55 MERCHANDISE products for Aarhus City, 18 MERCHANDISE products for Guggenheim Museum, 7 MERCHANDISE products for Shanghai Chambers of Commerce etc.
So far I have done 1200 MERCHANDISE products.
I found the software I needed in Silicon Valley - where else.
The customer must be able to customize my MERCHANDISE products.
The mayor must be able to decide himself where my motif is placed on his tie.

You will find the MERCHANDISE products on my web site or on Art Portals.
Find the Art Portals in English on lonvig.dk/portal-en.htm.
Customizing takes place in San Jose (Silicon Valley).
My friends in Silicon Valley are zazzle.com and my new name is zazzle.com/lonvig*.

My project is maybe very ambitious. I have difficulties explaining what it is all about.
I wrote an article in WWAR Art News the other day.
As I got not much response I thought: Shit!!!
Shit, now I was again not able to explain.
And I became so sad - so sad.
But.
Yesterday a reader of my article wrote to me from New York: You are a genius.
Today the world renowned Iconograpfer Ilina Filipova from Malta expressed her enthusiasm about my ideas.
And she even has used them on her web site.
Another artist from Phoenix, Arizona intend to use my ideas in teaching illustration and advertising...........

Christmas things.
I never was that depressed.

I tried to vacuum.
I had my three sons and my wife around me.
They tried to cheer me up.
Let's put the parcels under the Christmas Tree, one suggested.
We did so.

No joy. Thoughts: no thoughts - total confusion.
I did this painting.
Until now I have only thought of myself.
What did my family feel?
No joy, no thoughts, total confusion?]]> http://www.lonvig.dk/exhibition3.htm#the_pain_on_Christmas_Eve Tue, 14 Dec 2004 10:27:26 +0100 ups and downs - indeed ups and indeed downs
The most expressionistic painting I will ever make.
I used a wooden block and filling knife!!!!
Temperamentally.
Depressive.

The background tells about a mental state of depression.
And the rest is manic.
Thoughts: I can, I can, I can, I can, I can.
My family looked at me skeptically.
The next day I was in a hospital.
Later I found out it was a manic episode.
A mental state that doctors call bipolar.]]> http://www.lonvig.dk/exhibition3.htm#ups_and_downs Tue, 14 Dec 2004 10:16:23 +0100 sad days indeed Inspired from my state of mind - sad days indeed.<br> I did not know that I had a major depression.<br> Now that I look at this painting everybody can see it.<br> I ought to have shown it to a doctor at that time.
