1. What's your story? Where are you from?“People suck, and that's my contention. I can prove it on a scratch paper and pen. Give me a fucking Etch-a-sketch, I'll do it in three minutes. The proof, the fact, the factorum. I'll show my work, case closed. I'm tired of this back-slapping "Aren't humanity neat?" bullshit. We're a virus with shoes, okay? That's all we are”. Bill Hicks In short: Kine Andersen – a designer and illustrator living in Bergen, Norway. Originally from Porsgrunn which is a small city situated a few hours south of Oslo.

What role does art play in your life? How does it change the way you view the world?Since my vision is bad and most of my side-view is blocked, the physical world looks to me like it´s in a “frame”. I spend most of my time making pictures and illustrations. I draw and paint what I see, or cannot see, and add things that occupies my mind or stuff that I like. My political views and sexual references are thrown into a mix of the ordinary (and sometimes NOT so ordinary) like plants and animals, ashtrays and cigarette-butts, panties, beer bottles, different furniture, and TV-sets.
