Here we will set up the VARSKO! by numbers stunt we did at ByLarm in 2009, with lots of drawings where you can fill in the colors yourself, and then take the whole drawing home with you. Have a look at VARSKO!by numbers for more information and read more about the festival on their Facebook-page.

And one more thing: Come and play with us at Bøgrend Autofest!

Aasmund and Alex preparing the equipment. Soon the magic begins.

Robert going through the steps of the Adidas Teamgeist case. The crowd applauded every showreel he presented. Very cool.

Marta talking in living color.

Alex on how he made the font Neo Deco. Marta and Alex actually did they first ever talk together as a team at helloVARSKO! We recommend their talk to anyone, everywhere. People came up to us and said they was so inspired they had to run home to draw asap.

Both the swede and the spanish couple got a small present from us. A book by Norwegian photographer Rune Johansen, and a pair of jeans from local jeans brand Johnny Love.

After the talks, the movie and the barbecue, The Last Ninja played to an exited audience.  Click here to see video.

Amazing Margaret Berger played with a full band. Super sweet. People danced till they spilled their beer on each other. Lovely.

If you missed out on our marvelous.

More pics and videos to come…

We understand that you are shocked *the sound of jaws hitting the ground*. If your jaw did not hit the floor, it´s probably because you haven´t heard about North Kingdom or Designchapel. Well, you are in for a treat. Robert and the North Kingdom guys are one of the most innovating dudes around. For the second time the last three years, they are on the 2010 Creative 50 list. It’s a list where Ad Age and Creativity celebrate the year’s most inspiring thinkers and innovators (other people on that list: Lady Gaga, Daniel Ek, Michael Lebowitz and Spike Jonze and a 45 others…

In 2004 North Kingdom created Vodafone Future which became the worlds most awarded website that year. They have won a pile of shiny awards at the Cannes Cyber Lions, a couple of D&AD awards, gold here, gold there. Gold everywhere. They work with clients like Vodafone, Adidas, Coke Zero, WWF, Toyota and so on…

So now, with the line up we have put together, you no longer have an excuse for not participating in our fabulous event.

While you wait, take a look at this:

helloVARSKO! will make you smarter, more creative and prettier. No Lie!

The exclusive line of speakers we have had in the four year history of VARSKO! looks like this: Bjørn Brochmann (NOR), Yokoland (NOR), Dizel&Sate (S), Chris Rubino (USA), Si Scott (UK), Ian Anderson (UK), Alex Trochut (ESP), Marta Cerdá Alimbau (ESP), Robert Lindström (S).

The Last Ninja is a band who makes their music with, among other things, old Nintendo machines. They are fast. They are visual. The rumor on the street tells us that they will bring some really sweet graphics to raise their show to a higher level. An unlocked level. We hope you have a secret extra life, because this is going to be a toll for your dancing shoes.

While you wait, see this music video ten times in a row.

helloVARSKO! gets better for each day. Yay!

Oh, one more thing. Our super sweet poster is soon out of the press. One side is custom made for VARSKO! by Alex Trochut….

(ah, and yes, if you like us like we like you, please join us on Facebook)

CAPTAIN CREDIBLE is pleasing our ears/eyes with his computer generated crazy music show. While you wait take a look on his site and enjoy this video of him from Pstereo 08

MARGARET BERGER is also coming to sprinkle sweetness over us at Byscenen on July 3rd. We so are looking forward to seeing Margaret do her thing and taking helloVARSKO! to the next level. (Bonus info: helloVARSKO! is all about typography and designer Joakim Jansson custom typography for each page in the booklet of Margaret Bergers album, Pretty Scary Silver Fairy. This we like.) Check out this and rehearse on your super groovy dance floor moves.

last but not least mr NILS BECH is joining the party and brings his friend BENDIK GISKE. So helloVARSKO! is going contemporary up in this. NILS says it best on his MySpace: “Nils Bech is a classically trained singer with a focus on performative aspects. An integral part of the Norwegian art, fashion, and music scene, he has taken part in exhibitions of contemporary art in New York, Miami, Milan, Zürich, Basel, Berlin,Cologne, London, Vienna and Oslo, as well as performances at the Norwegian Opera House and the National Theater.” And now he is making us look good. Our guess is that your dancing shoes will be worn out, and that you´ll learn a few new dancing moves while your at it. Enjoy Nils live at Øya 09:

helloVARSKO! -> it´s getting better and better and better.

This we like.

(If you got any helloVARSKO! material (in any way), send it to us (staale@varsko.org). Perhaps we have a prize for you.)
