Jørgen Vig Knudstorp #7: Åt den Jøb Centerr

2009-12-10T10:24:00.000-08:00

The seventh installment of the JVK not-so-trilogy is finally here! "Finally" I hear you gasp, and I totally agree. Things went a little crazy after I did the sixth one, but I'm here now and I've done it. Praise me, or whatever.

So, here it is. You'd better enjoy it, it's been over six months in the making! Now Jørgen is in a proper storyline, he's lost his job after a very bad April Fool's Day prank and is now looking for the two top jobs in Denmark: CEO of Lego, and CEO of Mærsk.

So that's it for now: I hope you enjoyed that. Expect JVK #8 sometime soon (hopefully). I can't believe I actually said that: I never thought I'd get this one done.

ps. No offense meant to Nannan: I just needed someone recognisable to put in, and I had already comic'd up his picture, so to save time I used it.

JVK #7 UPDATE

2009-06-27T12:09:00.000-07:00

Welcome to a short update about the next Jørgen Vig Knudstorp comic, episode 7.

Basically, I drew up the basic storyboard upon which I base the comic for #7 some months ago, and since then I've been caught up in schoolwork, tests, essays, going to Ypres, going to a drama workshop and various other thingamyhoops.

The tests are slowly stopping now, and in three weeks I'll be on holiday, for 6 long weeks of no school. However, I want to get #7 done before then, and I've made quite a bit of progress in the last two days - whereas before that #7 was just a set of frames and layout. Now there are character heads and most of the bodies. Below is a screenshot of editing the bodies.

What's the plot? Well, I can't tell you or I'll be breaking the secret law thing, but I can say that this is the start of a long plot. Yup, the JVK comics are now all going to be following on from each other, and #6 is the start of that story. Jørgen has now been fired, so what next?

You'll be finding out soon...

Behind the scenes: JVK 6

2009-04-02T12:08:00.000-07:00

Here's a delightful behind-the-scenes video of how JVK6 was made. #6 is more important than the rest of them since it's the first one to be shown on none other than The Brothers Brick! Wahoo!

Music is 'Trenches' by 'Koriigahn'.

It isz tiem to jøin den Cåmpæn!

This blog, Jåm, has launched its first campaign: to get as many people as possible to repsect the Vig Knudstorp.

We're doing this by releasing downloadable stickers, posters, buttons, banners, icons and whatever else the general public needs to show their love of the Vig Knudstorp!

Our first batch of Jørgen goodies is the 'Do not mock the Vig Knudstorp' adverts. You can find them all on my Flickr page here. You can print off a little business card-sized poster and swipe it out every time someone mocks the Vig Knudstorp. You can download our first free wallpaper, and be reminded of the epic-ness of the Vig Knudstorp whenever you're on your computer. And you can also print out a circular sticker to stick on Vig Knudstorp-haters' heads, hands, computers, bags, valuable, lockers, feet, mothers, whatever. Get the message out there.

So how can you get involved in this campaign? Easy. Download and print off any of our campaign stickers, put them somewhere to show them off, take a picture and upload it to The Official Jørgen Vig Knudstorp Fan Club over on Flickr. We're trying to get as many pictures as possible.

So what are you waiting for? For the love of Jørgen, go go go!

Hej there!

I'm here to introduce the newest feature of Jåm ....

JØRGEN'S HELPDESK!!

Just ask Jørgen a question, any question, and he'll answer it! A new feature for Brickspace 2009, Jørgen's Helpdesk is sure to attract some visitors to both Brickspace and this site, Jåm. All you need to do is think up a question, any question, and send it to jorgen@brickspace.org . Please note that Jørgen does not - and will never - have an email address for THIS site, ie jorgen@jorgenvigknudstorp.blogspot.com . To keep this site closely linked in with Brickspace, it has been agreed that all emails on this site, that of Jørgen and the admin, John, will always be "@brickspace.org". Questions will always be answered in the regular Jørgen fashion and an answer will be sent to the email which sent the question, and both question and answer will appear on this site, Jåm, and Brickspace. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and good luck!!

Jørgen Vig Knudstorp #3: Schüpermarcketing!

2008-12-13T10:51:00.000-08:00

Jørgen prepares for Christmas.

Now, due to the IMMENSE SIZE of this comic, and due to complaints about the last one, I've had to completely change the way you will view this JVK comic. Those with fast internet connections or those who want to download the whole thing, click this link to the Photobucket-hosted page:

http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/qq13/luke_watkins/JVK_cartoon3.png

I really hope you enjoy this comic! I've put a lot of work into it, Fireworks has crashed on me more times than I can remember when opening this and the second one simultaneously, and, of course, I've included the all-new Jørgen faces. This comic has set down a long list of design constraints that I need to remember for each comic in the future, like the top bar, the design of Jørgen's shirt, the font, text colour, glow properties and size of each and every speech label. Now, I've had a lot of help with this one, so here's a list of people and things I'd like to thank:

LUKE, for inspiring me and geting me going with this immense project
FIREWORKS CS3, for not crashing and losing all my unsaved data.
JØRGEN HIMSELF, for providing some pictures and a video of him on the Lego and Monacle sites.
APPLE, for making such easy keyboard shortcuts to 'å' and 'ø'
TINY HAPPY BLOG, for providing this following picture of Danish clothes, modelled by Jørgen in the comic!

Coming soon: JVK #3
