The Thanksgiving Machine

This Artwork is a gift to my anonymous friend, The Moderats. Its a small way to show my appreciation for the support and encouragement I have received, not least during the more difficult times that have befallen me in the wake of the corona crisis. Your support is an important part for me in my Artistic career as it gives me the opportunity to devote time to creation and at the same time manage my livelihood. Once again Thanks for your encouragement and support, it really matters.

This Animated Artwork is created out of one of my earlier sketches, its from a time where i liked to draw comics. This is one of only a handful that i have left from that time.

Its also a kind of time divider, as when i painted this sketch, i was just in the beginning of my working career in the Graphic industry, and it was kind of a caricature of me working on this old printing machine. Now as i have left that industry many years working in almost every part of it, its a bit nostalgic to look back on that very first image i made of my self in the beginning of what became most of my working life.

Lots of memories, lots of nostalgia, lots of Joy.
