Remi Juliebø is a designer and illustrator from Norway. With a His artworks are heavily influenced by American rock posters and skateboarding culture. Hope to see more great stuff from his in the future. Thank you to Mr. Juliebø for lending me some of his time and all the best for future endevour.

Q.Do you have any formal training and art and design?
A. Yeah, I went to art-school and also had some time learning from a local art-painter (Roy A. Dahl).
Also I had three years of Graphic Design at the Westerdals School of Communication in Oslo, Norway.
But I’ve always had the need to create things with my hands. I made some goofy comics when I was in high school.

Q. How do you describe your style?
A. I would like to say that my style is timeless, but then I’m only kidding myself.
I get a lot of inspiration from American rock posters, and the aesthetics that comes with the music scene and the skateboard scene. Also I find it very inspiring to look at retro type and 50’s illustrations. So, I guess you could call my style Post Underground? Also I try to be a Jack of All Trades, but leaving a piece of myself in everything I do. I tend to get very lost in my projects, using a lot of time in details. Also trying to keep my integrity on a pleasing level.

Q. So far, have you been in a position that requires you to abandon your personal style in order to meet a client request?
A. Luckily, no, not yet. It has been a great couple of years. Of course you use your best judgement to please the client, but leave enough of yourself in it to keep the passion for the project up.

Q. What or who are your inspirations?
A. As I mentioned before, a lot of 50’s illustrations. Look at the backgrounds of Disneys 101 Dalmatians for example. Pixar art, retro type. Music, movies… Video games are a great inspiration. The music scene with album covers, posters and merch is a constant inspiration and the retro skateboard scene. Also, my better half always pushes me to do better, and comes with feedback i couldn’t live without. She is my greatest inspiration.

Q. Do you have any tools or gadgets that you can’t live without?
A. Who dosen’t? I need my sketchbook, and my mac. And of course, a scanner, among other things.

Q. When producing an art piece, do you have a specific step-by step creative procedure or you just do it and improvise whenever necessary?
A. Usually, it starts off with a rough idea, and develops from there. But where and how the idea comes, and how it’s being shaped from air to something solid is different every time. I have sketched on canvases with coffee, awaken in the middle of the night and drawn something down that I can’t understand the next day and therefore turn in to something else and sometimes I can start directly on the final step, skipping sketching because the idea is clear enough from the start.

Q. Have you done any exhibition before? Who you like to collaborate with?
A. I have had a couple of art exhibits, some with paintings, and some with printed images on canvas. I had one at last years By:Larm, a music festival with some large prints and shirts. I have one ongoing with paintings, and are currently preparing for an exhibit at a Sci-fi festival here in Oslo.
The list of people I’d like to collaborate with is to big to mention, but I have a lot of friends I wouldn’t mind working with.
