Swede in Amsterdam. He/him. 
I play RPGs on tables and screens, and I love world building.
During the day, I design and art direct very good brand identity and retail stuff. 
I have a husband and a Shiba Inu.

Testing testing. Pretending I do dark, dank stuff when in reality I do preppy window displays and brightly colored product packaging at the moment.

Forgot to post this here for my D&D girlies. I kind of actually want to print this...

Mockup of a person wearing a black t-shirt with white blackletter spelling out "Spell Slut." The photo is blue and white with a gritty, print-like texture.

Let's be honest, we all need this tee.
Mockup showing a person in a denim jacket and a t-shirt that says "content consumer" in lowercase sans serif. The image is a duotone white and blue with a low-res print texture.

Made this as a thought out loud. I have started testing Affinity out and already am hitting roadblocks of things it can’t do but I’m still excited to tinker with something else.

IF Canva can make collaborating with non-designers easier than Adobe, I can see a future with Affinity.

How about you?

Image of a very tired, displeased dog. A text box reads: when you reach the winter area of the game.

Continuously tempting myself to start selling merch.

Mockup of a person wearing a t-shirt with the text "a little bit tired" on the back. The text is all caps sans serif in black on a white t-shirt. The image is styled to look like a duotone print in blue and white.

Brush experiments that accidentally turned monotype-y.
Abstract composition in blue, green, and white. Messy, uneven areas and strings of color overlap and form a shapeless something. It looks like someone put in on a surface and then removed some of it with a brush or paper towel. It feels both fluffy and crunchy.

Sloppy doodles bring me life.
Sloppy pencil doodle of a skinny gnome is a skimpy outfit. He’s standing wide legged and with hands on his hips, looking confident.

Mockup of a person holding a black tote bag with the text “aware” on it in all caps. You can’t see the person’s face. The style of the image is grainy, halftone, and duotone blue plus white. It looks a bit like a newspaper clipping.

I entered a rabbit hole of making bad merch. This one’s based on a real reaction from a coworker upon finding out i was gay (back in 2011).

#graphicdesign #concept #creativeprocess
Photo-copy textured mock-up of a woman in a t shirt and baseball hat. The hat has the text ally-ish on it. The t-shirt says: so have you slept with all the gays in Stockholm? The image is a duo tone blue and white giving it a bit of an old print vibe.

A thought I had to make into a thing.
Mockup of a man wearing a t-shirt with the text Did you get my virtue signal? The photo looks photocopied with a blue tint.

Just gonna post this one everywhere because it's cute. Not that Jeffrey was actually enjoying the boat ride, but still.
Photo of Jeffrey the shiba inu in a boat. The boat is on the Amstel river in Amsterdam, with green trees and Amsterdam buildings in the background. The sun is shining, especially on Jeffrey.

I was haunted by graphic design even in the woods of northern Sweden.
Photo of a pine forest. On one pine trunk, there is a small, round warning sign forbidding snowmobile traffic.

In my homeland feeling weird! I really love not living in Sweden.
Photo of high rises across from some dark blue water. The weather is overcast. It’s a picture of Liljeholmskajen in Stockholm.

It is heartwarming (and so, so wild) to see my identity concept for Amsterdam Pride come alive across so many channels. Here’s a bit of central station!
Large screen featuring Pride Amsterdam 2025 branding: hearts in varying Pride flags’ colors against a purple background and some less visible white text. People are walking in from of it.

Next Thursday, @wacomatrixo.bsky.social and I are hopping on a Zoom call to talk creative process, concepts, things! You are invited to listen in, ask questions, or simply relax to two nice guys having a chill screenside chat.

Sign up: linktr.ee/studiootherwise ✨ See you next Thursday!
Simple white and blue poster announcing Studio Hour on Thursday, July 31st, 13:00 CET. On top is an illustration by Waco Matrixo, next to his name and his youtube link: youtube.com/@wacomatrixo. Below the event title is a portrait of Anders Tallvik from Studio Otherwise. The layout is simple with rounded rectangles around the different pieces of information.

...and a riso color combo test I should probably print!

#riso #risography
Abstract and symmetrical almost floral illustration in orange, purple, and blue. Four identical flowers frame the corners, facing diagonally outwards, framed by wiggly leaves. Two similar plants make up the middle of the composition, facing left and right, also with wiggly leaves. The flowers, or are they pods, are orange with wiggly stripes. The leaves are a gradient from blue to purple.

Been experimenting and it brings me joy.
A rectangular collection of abstract blobs that look a bit like melting, chunky combs, interspersed with dots. It's in 3D with a rough, plain paper texture on a black background.

Testing stuff!

Typographic poster in blue and white with the text: as soon as possible is not a deadline. The text is placed in varying blue frames that make the words look like stickers or stamps. Minimalist but playful! The studio otherwise logo sits below the composition.

Went to the countryside, which is always equal parts lovely and a reminder of all the feelings in the hometown I was so desperate to leave.
Photo of a green field at dusk. The field is framed by lush, thick trees, and the sky above is a pastel gradient from blue to light peach. It’s a peaceful image.

Riso print color tests, I'm only going to print one and it's very hard to choose 🫠 I may have a favorite but posting feels like a part of the selection process.

Look at him. Having one friend with a Hero Forge subscription and another friend with a 3D printer is going to be dangerous.

This is my halfling sorcerer Loranga Mazarin. He likes crime. Crime is life.

I blame @interqualia.bsky.social
Screenshot of a hero forge mini. He's a halfling sorcerer with short hair, a beard, a confident stance that indicates subtle magic use. He's wearing a cape, a harness over a bare torso, leather pants with chunky detailing, and leather boots. He looks confident.

Been going back to my roots recently.

My roots: overdoing photoshop filters.

#graphicdesign
A square design with a thick black frame. A grainy gray square inside the frame holds a rectangular cluster of wobbly ink blot-like shapes that feel vaguely organic. The ink blots are surrounded by chunky helvetica in all caps, one word above, to the right, on the bottom, and on the left, rotated to read clockwise. The words are: CHAOS AND CALM AND, for a repeating phrase. Everything looks like it was poorly reproduced on a copy machine.

Made myself a new Anti Protestant Work Ethic wallpaper with my new daily to-do list that includes no real to-dos but rather nice things that could be cool to do any day.
All-caps text layout on an angle that reads: Follow Whims. Wander, reflect, record, rest, express. But without commas. The text is dark gray, the background is off-white. The text has an ink bleed effect.
