For Children and Grandparents - for Dogs Fans - for Fans of Dog Breed Beagle.

Renowned Danish author Orla Nygaard and World of Art Award Winning Danish Artist
Asbjorn Lonvig have so far published 3 children's books on LuluPress.com who
administers print on demand publishing.

Two Books have been published in English. They are about a family who buys a dog (a Beagle).
The father is skeptical because he does not think he has time enough to look after the dog.
However, he becomes so fond of the dog that he decides to bring up and train the dog himself.
Unfortunately, things do not turn out the way he thinks and hopes. Time after time things go wrong
and very far from what he had expected, which results in a number of comical and bizarre situations.
You can see comprehensive previews on LuluPress of the books: Preview "The World's Best Beagy"
and preview of "Beagy will be Beagy".

You can order these 2 books by clicking on the motifs shown above - you will be navigated directly to the books on the LuluPress markedplace.

The 2 books mentioned above have been combined and published in Danish.
The book title is: "Biggi Verdens bedste Hund".

Nygaard & Lonvig, Denmark is very satisfied about feedbacks.
One of the most positive is this:

Dear Asbjorn.
I wrote to you when I received the books that I thought they are beautiful.
I liked the titles of the books. Very memorable. Children and parents can relate easily to the titles and
chapter titles. The colors of the covers and the art on the covers is very appealing for children as well as parents.
I love your geometric art and think it goes really well with the story contents.The inside of the books are very nicely done.
The page layouts are very clean and the art and story go really well with each other.
One can follow the story easily by looking at the pictures.

I liked the stories very much. Each had humor and a strong concept of family values.
The stories are lessons as well, but these lessons do not distract from the fun aspect of the book.
For very young children, each chapter could be made into its own book.
The books are WONDERFUL!
All my best,
Ellen Fisch *

The Complete Fine Art works of World of Art Award winning artist Asbjorn Lonvig, Denmark - based on concepts and prices of the 2010 International Fine Art Exhibition in which Asbjorn Lonvig participated. I'm an old man. I have children and grandchildren. I'm Santa Claus every December. I live in my dream house. I have this dream job as an artist. That I appreciate - every day. But. As old men often do, I suffer from this and that. I have several flaws that need medication. You never know when life's shirt is too short. Therefore I have selected the 328 best of my designs and put them for sale as Originals and 210 numbered and signed Fine Art Prints of each motif, clearly inspired by "2010 International Fine Art", which I attended in June 2010 in South Africa. The sizes on as well originals as fine art prints are 84 x 59,4 cm (33.1" x 23.4"). The prices are the same as those set by the art auctioneer and the art publisher of "2010 International Fine Art". The Originals are Ink on Canvas. The Fine Art Prints are numbered and signed, and printed on archival inks on cotton, that is on Hahnemühle Museum Etching 350gsm Fine Art paper using pigment based archival inks. Inspired by the thickest book I own - it is 9.3 cm or 3.7" - "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare ..." I modestly call this selection "The Complete Fine Art Works of World of Art Award winning artist Asbjorn Lonvig, Denmark"... Prices: Originals US$ 5,976 - 8,632 each Fine Art Prints US$ 2,000 each .ADVERTISEMENT It's a good idea to buy Asbjorn Lonvig's works. He was awarded "The World of Art Award" from an art publising house in London, UK. This autumn an art book "Creative GENIUS" is published, where 100 contemporary artists selected worldwide are portrayed. The art book is published by the publisher Masters of today in London, UK. Asbjorn Lonvig is one of the selected artists. Last but not least, various critics compared him with Mondrian, Miró, Kandinsky, and Warhol. The author Alain Joannes, Paris, France, who wrote about Asbjorn Lonvig's work "Soul Hurting Still" in his book "Comment communiquer par des images" has even compared Asbjorn Lonvig with Johann Sebastian Bach!!!!

"South African Joy"

A South African Art Publisher MMX Art in Cape Town contacted me.
MMX Art alias 2010 International Fine Art is licensed to use the phrase Official Licensed Products of the 2010 FIFA World Cup by FIFA.

5 artists from each of the 32 qualifying countries to 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa.
were selected to participate in the 2010 International Fine Art project and form the 2010 International Fine Art Collection.
After signing a contract I got the "Artistic Brief" from 2010 International Fine Art:

"The world is coming home to Africa, the cradle of humankind, the site where the story of our species started.  It is in essence the home of all humanity.
  It is also the location for the greatest sporting event in the world the 2010 FIFA World CupTM the first time in its history that the tournament has been staged in Africa.
The artwork must bring together the elements of this African heritage and fuse it with the energy and excitement of the World Cup, the heights of athletic excellence, the favor of football enthusiasts, and pride of your country?s participation in the tournament.
The original must incorporate at least an element of football in order to celebrate this extraordinary event being brought to African soil.

The symbolism of  "South African Joy" by Asbjorn Lonvig

edition 210.
Click on "South African Joy"
and download a high resolution
image for press coverage.

The Acacia tree and the Baobab Tree are significant trees in South Africa.
I am looking for my inner eye giraffes eating the leaves of an Acacia tree.

The South African Savannah in the East, the bush and dessert in the West are the domicile of a lot of exotic animals such as Zebras, Flamingos, Elephants, Lions, Penguins, and Giraffes.
To me the most outstanding of them is the Giraffe.
In South African Joy symbolized by a giraffe skin.

The sun is important to all of us.
In most of South Africa there is subtropical climate witch has an impact on everything.
On nature as well as on people?s conduct and behavior.

From maps we know the shape of the African Continent.
From the name we can guess where South Africa is, but I did not know exact shape of South Africa on beforehand.

FIFA World Cup stadiums in South Africa are scattered around the country:
The stadiums are in Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, Bloemfontein, Port Elizabeth, Nelspruit, Polokwane, Rustenburg, and Pretoria.

In a very short time when the FIFA World Cup has started - the world will recognize the shape and the colors of the Republic of South Africa's flag:
Red symbolizes the struggle for freedom.
Black and White the different peoples of South Africa.
Yellow the country's mineral wealth.
And green and blue symbolize the country?s fertility and its magnificent scenery and wildlife.

Desmond Tutu you know, the former archbishop who is always talking and always smiling called South Africa?s people the Rainbow Nation.
That was because of the country's wonderfully diverse, colorful, and utterly unique society.
Furthermore, South Africa?s National Motto is "Unity in Diversity".

I know about an explorer that drew in his car down through the African continent from the Strait of Gibraltar  to South Africa. He told that everywhere kids were playing soccer.To accommodate all the soccer playing children the soccer field is a double field. Double Soccer is the name of the game.There are 4 goals. Two balls in different colors.I have established a Facebook group to form the exact rules. ?Help making the Double Soccer rules: As a point of departure I have mentioned a few keywords to the Facebook group members: Fun, fast, exhausting, tactics, strategy, chess, exciting to look at, appealing to electronic medias.

The imaginative kids of Africa will probably some day amuse themselves by playing double soccer.  You may percept many different run patterns in South African Joy run patterns of players? movements as you will see them on the stadiums of South Africa. Zigzag, forth and back etc.  Stepping up the stairs maybe reaching fame.
Some day an African nation might win the FIFA World Cup.

It is the 12th time.
The 12th time that I made a motif for a award winning company.
The award is the Danish Industry Initiative Award 2009.
The company is the Fittings Specialist in Fredericia, Denmark.
It was a couple of months ago.
As always I initiate the job by talking to the CEO. His name is Finn Roy,
and he thoroughly informed me about products, organisation, etc.
We managed to drink three cups of coffee.
The chemistry between us was right.

Now you must see the robot, Finn Roy said.
The robot???
First I thought of Gyro Gearloose' Little Helper in the Disney Comic series
Donald Duck by Disney and then of Lego Robots by Lego in Denmark.

I recently heard about robots that could create 3D prints - but these have
just been invented and they are not yet tested properly.
Then there are CNC robots that I have seen in different companies.
But.
It was none of the above.
I was without a clue.

In plain English the robot collects items from stock for delivery.
Technically speaking the robot was a LOGIA WMS - an internal logistics-
and warehouse management robot, which was integrated in Concorde C5 -
the administrative computer system.

You might wonder that The Fittings Specialist can handle 35.000 items.
The robot is the secret.
It collects fittings from 88.000 boxes on two rows of shelves in a height of 7
meters (23 feet).
The robot rushes along among the 88.000 boxes - up and down, back and
forth- all day with 25 miles per hour.
Without sweating.
The robot is computerized and it optimizes itself all the time. Among other
things it places items with a high frequency together.
It doesn't use its full capacity - it runs at nearly only half power (60%).
The Fittings Specialist is increasing the number of item numbers due to world
wide expansion.

The motif, which was granted to The Fittings Specialist - winner of Danish
Industry's InitiativeAwardCompetition. To the left tubes with fittings. In the
middle the fairy tale about Robert Robot and to the right Robert Robot himself.
Robert Robot is constructed from fittings in the Fittings Specialist's catalog.

Through my talks with the CEO, by attending the presentation and listening to Finn Roy,
John Damkjær, chairman of Danish Industry Region and Uffe Steiner, the mayor
of Fredericia and not least by talking to the staff and guests, I had sure a feeling, that this
was something special. Why - I know a lot of companies - why is this particular company
something special.
I wondered.
And I wondered.
And I wondered.
And I wondered.
And I wondered.

And I wondered.
Oh!!!!

I see!!!!
They use - consciously or unconsciously - a very special set of corporate values.
I'll use ART to make this fact visible to the staff, to management, to customers,
to suppliers, to the surrounding organizations, to the surrounding society, to......
I constructed 6 keywords that matched the special set of corporate values.

Here are the keywords:
Interplay/Decency - Interplay among colleagues, customers, suppliers and
others - in a decent way...
Meticulosity - Means care, precision, solicitude, be careful. Quality at all levels...
Respecting Recharging - Employees have the right and an obligation to recharge...
Changeability/IT-Readiness - The company as a whole needs to be ready for change...
Think Globally - In the near future the company intend to approach international markets
so employees must think globally.
Strict Financially Management/Strict Equity Control - Strict financial management
ends up in strict equity control.

Inspired by these keywords I have designed 6 artworks, size: 132,1 x 132,1 cm (52 x 52") primarily
for a permanent exhibition in the headquarters, but as well for promoting the special corporate
values in general:

Interplay/Decency
An employee in the Fittings Specialist communicates on a daily basis with management,
colleagues, customers, suppliers, people in different fields of service etc. etc.
All communication and any agreement, deal etc. is based on decency.

Meticulosity Means care, precision, solicitude, be careful.
Every process in the company needs to live up to the highest standards concerning
quality.
Meticulosity or Meticulousness even means
Extremely careful and precise or
extremely or excessively concerned with details.

Respecting Recharging
Employees have the right and an obligation to recharge.
As a ground rule we do not do overtime.
It's important that our most valuable resource is fit at any time during work time.
This can only be accomplished by insisting on that the employees have
a fruitful leisure time, a fruitful family life etc.

Changeability/IT-Readiness
There is a rapid change in how to operate a company.
The company as a whole needs to be ready for change, the employees need
to be ready, customers need to be ready and even suppliers need to be ready.
Especially the field of Information Technology (IT) sees changes every day.
New opportunities.
It's important to be constantly aware of what happens in the IT field.

Think Globally
In the near future we intend to approach international markets so we must think globally.
We can reach every spot in the world by the internet.
We can offer our products and we can accept orders via phone or internet.
Hereafter the main issue is to observe developments in logistic possibilities.
Improving your English is another issue.

Strict Financially Management/Strict Equity Control
Strict financial management ends up in strict equity control.
This is extremely important in our company as we want to increase our number of items
and want to approach international markets.

The value motifs and the adjacent texts were presented to the CEO: Bulls Eye, he said.
The employees were introduced to the special corporate values in a folder in English
and a meeting with me.
In order to underline and distribute the value motifs much more than usual I have designed a
Fittings Specialist e-shop in which the company, employees etc.
can buy posters, postcards and merchandise like T-shirts, shoes, mugs, mouse pads etc. -
all of them based on the 6 motifs.
You can see the contents of the e-shop at www.zazzle.com/fittings. The e-shop is based on
the concept "Manufacturing on Demand", which means, that the products are manufactured
and shipped AFTER ordering. No stock needed, you can buy only one piece, if you like.

Fittings Specialist's e-shop is run by a team of computer nerds in PaloAlto, CA in USA. Nerds
that I have worked together with for some time.
They are crazy.
The most crazy thing they have introduced so far - as nothing is impossible - is an agreement with
US- Postal, meaning that I as a PRO-Contributor to Zazzle can design US-Postal stamps for any
company I like.

Asbjorn Lonvig, Artist

New kids' clothing brand LONVIG by MINYMO - Autumn 2008 Collection

In Aarhus, Denmark at Café Slabberas on 6 September 2008.

Today my destination was Aarhus. At Café Slabberas, 26 Frederiksgade in Aarhus at 10 a.m.

It was early in the morning.

I was preparing myself for the event.

My wife rushed into the gallery where I was - she had heard some "voices".

Calm down, calm down - it is nothing but me practicing - reading out loud the fairy tale "Lucca and Sam in the Zoo...".

After a couple of rehearsals I was confident.

At Café Slabberas I was welcomed by beautiful ladies.

A computer with fast internet was ready.

Everything was ready.

Depending on what happened, I had 3 possibilities.

Reading out loud, signing the mini poster "9 Bernhards" and showing www.LONVIG-by-MINYMO.com on the internet.

Signing of mini poster "9 Bernhards" was a hit. This was what I spent most of the time doing this 6 September 2008 in Aarhus.

I contacted the parents, wrote the name of their child down at the left and signed down to the right.

This was the perfect way to enter a conversation, and when I told that the new kids' clothing brand LONVIG by MINYMO was based on my fairy tales and fairy tale character - a very positive contact was established. And I probably talked, and talked, and talked...

For a start the computer was used - but it was not necessary to pass the message.

I talked to a Chinese, I talked to a German, I talked to one from Greenland and one from my home city Hedensted. I talked to one from Frederikshavn and a lot from Aarhus. Among the people from Aarhus there was one from a kindergarten.

I asked all of them to take a closer look at the wonderful kids' clothing in the LONVIG by MINYMO line.

I asked them to go home and read out loud my fairy tales on the web site.

I asked them to take a closer look at the web site with its book shop, shoe shop, poster shops, clock shop, fairy tale theatre, jigsaw puzzle games etc.

For a star I talked to people entering the second floor.

Later I went down into the outdoor Café Slabberas to ensure that all visitors got a poster for their children.

I talked to a granddad - he was an IT nerd - I showed the fairy tale theatre to him. This granddad had 3 grand kids and there is no doubt that he soon has built fairy tale theatres for them.

A young lady, she was called Karin, she owned a poster store at Sct. Clemens Torv not far away. She loved Bernhard. I have sent an e-mail to her and we will see what happens.

Only one "9 Bernhards" mini poster was left at closing time. At 4 p.m.

The last poster was dedicated Tristan and his parents. But they did not show up.

I'll see to that Tristan gets his poster.

I had talked to people since 10 a.m. - interrupted only by a wonderful brunch, which Café Slabberas served.

And then an unknown number of espressos and café americanos during the day.

I was tired but very happy, that my message was passed so very easily.

When you do such things - and especially if you are a little aggressive - you might have a negative response from some.

Not one responded negatively - everybody was happy and thanked me for doing it...

Super!

Sincerely,

Asbjorn Lonvig

Blog Entry - October 07, 2007

Sun, 07 Oct 2007 10:22:14 MST

I am continuously trying to find new ways to communicate art.
On 24 August 2007 during the ?Hedensted by Night? festival, I and organist Carsten Thomsen performed an ART EVENT.
It started shortly after sunset at 9.05 p.m. and it ended with a fireworks display at 11 p.m.
By means of a projector, a computer and other equipment I showed my recent art works in size 20 x 30 feet on the top of the crystal white Hedensted Church Tower.
At the same time organist Carsten Thomsen played an organ concert.
Beatles music of course.

A brand new composition of 18 Beatles melodies was created for this purpose.
This composition is conceived and performed from the point of departure which my art represents ?Colorful Simplicity?.
Never before has Beatles music been interpreted in this way. ?Colorful Simplicity?.
The Beatles' music is played very true to the Beatles' original concept of the music, but without the organist focusing on anything else but communicating the Beatles' music to the audience melodically in a seemingly effortless performance.
Very close to the essential ideas of the Beatles? music are the ideas of my art.

I had the idea about this Art Event and the Parochial Church Council of Hedensted Church has supported the idea all the way through, morally and financially.
The council's intention was to emphasize ?the roomy church?, ?the roomy Christianity?.
To emphasize that the church is a cultural centre on many levels.

120 art works in 7 categories were shown in 2 sessions of 40 minutes leaving 20 seconds to show each art work on the church tower:
Christ and Christianity: ?Christ?, Christ ? Blue?, ?San Francesco?, ?Adam and God? inspired by Michelangelo's Creation of Adam on the ceiling of The Sistine Chapel in the Vatican in Rome, ?Sagrada Familia? by Gaudi etc.
New Hedensted Motifs: Interpretation of the huge metallic sculpture by the motor way (by Asbjorn Lonvig), ?The Mayor's Wife's Golf Hat?, ?The TV2 Antenna at Kragelund Common, ?The Windmill at Agersboel Manor House?, ?Agersboel Manor House?, ?Hedensted Church? ?The Priest's Tie?, ?The Sexton's Mug?, ?Postcard to Ant Oda?, US Postal Stamp with Hedensted Church, ?Oester Snede Church?, ?Sindbjerg Church?, ?Williamsborg Manor House?, ?Korning Church?, inspiration from Gl. Sole etc.
Motifs from the surrounding area: Vejle, Haderslev, Aarhus etc...?Vejle Inlet Bridge?, ?Niels Kjeldsen?s Helmet?, ?The Egtved Girl's Belt?, Boerkop Water Mill?, ?Haderslev Cathedral?, ?Cafe Faust?, ?22 North Street? (Jyske Bank), ?7 North Street? (Kreditforeningen Danmark), ?Aros Aarhus Art Museum?, The City Hall Tower in Aarhus, ?Aarhus Theatre?, ?The Mansard House? in The Old Town in Aarhus, ?Marselisborg Palace?, ?Aarhus Cathedral?, ?St. Clemens Courtyard?, ?1 Cathedral Place? (Nykredit)
Beautiful houses in the surrounding area: Churches, Palaces, Manor Houses....?Oerumgaard Manor House?, ?Rohden Manor House?, ?Ussinggaard Manor House?, ?Loendal Manor House? etc.
Denmark: ?Christiansborg Palace?, ?Erich Erichsen?s Mansion? at the Kongens Nytorv in Copenhagen (Den Danske Bank), ?2 Guardsmen?, ?The Ugly Duckling?, Post Denmark?s ?Post Box?, ?Tranekaer Palace?, ?Koldinghus Castle Ruin? etc.
The world: ?Guggenheim?? in New York, Victorian house in San Francisco, Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay Area, Killer Wales in The Pacific Ocean, Grand Canyon seen from a helicopter, Chicago?s Gangster Past in 1920s, Canadian Maple Leaves, ?Toronto Skyline?, ?Thunderbird? from British Columbia, Mona from Paris, Champs Elysees in Paris, Septumus Severus Arch in Roman Forum, Rome, ?Spanish Bull?, Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtnis Kirche in Berlin etc.
The Mystery of The Orient: Is the theme of ?Hedensted by Night?...motifs from Fujiyama, Tokyo, The Wall of China, Shanghai, Mount Everest, Mediterranean etc.

As a spectator you saw these motifs quietly slide across the church tower while the Beatles music was sent out over huge loudspeakers from Nordic Rentals A/S.

Nordic Rental A/S.
Nordic Rentals A/S is one of Denmark?s leading rental and production companies within the field of technology for show business.
Nordic Rentals provide solutions which include budgeting, dimensioning, planning, rental, crew, transport and on site project management, while also possessing considerable experience from the planning and running of tours and other events internationally.

Nordic Rentals references show that Nordic Rentals A/S has the capacity and expertise needed to handle anything from the Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen to major business conferences, fashion shows, theatre musicals and small scale solo performances.

The Beatles.
The Beatles music that was performed:

There were two sessions with a break.
I showed my fairy tale characters during the brake: Octo-Pus the Cuttlefish, Crab-Mac-Claw the Crab, Frederic The Frog, Elias the Elephant, Farmer Jack etc.

We intend to explore the results of the synergy between my art and organist Carsten Thomsen?s Beatles inspired music in the near future.
More music composed in "colorful simplicity"?
A children?s song book with "colorful simplicity" songs based on my fairy tale characters and with whimsical texts?

The recording company REFLEKS considers publishing a DVD with the Beatles on organ and my show on the church tower. For this purpose the Beatles on organ might be directed even more towards "Colorful Simplicity".

Response - happy.
I'm so happy this event turned out to be a tremendous success.
Lots of people saw it.
People from Denmark and abroad said: "Great experience", "Wonderful" and much more.
"Inspiring", was a general feed back.

Letters, e-mail, phone calls tell me it was worth all the trouble.

Later in the evening the church disappeared in the dark night and you could see noting but the white screen with my art works in the sky and it seemed like the music made it fly.
And Peter O. was excited and he said: "Second to none, not even to Jean Michel Jarre".
Jean Michel Jarre is a famous French musician, who performs huge events using electronic music effects and light effects in spectacular places.

The minister who had supported the event in many ways was happily jumping up and down in the churchyard aisels smoking lots of cigarettes, mumbling strange words.

Our sound technician, who recently worked for Madonna and Rolling Stones was excited, too ? he shook my hand and said: "So cool".

You had to be present.
No photo, no CD, no video would ever be able to tell the story about this event.
You had to be present.
To see the art works in colorful simplicity shown on the church tower in simple shapes and bright colors, 120 motifs one by one every 20 seconds with a little bit of text.
To stand there listening to the Beatles music in colorful simplicity played expertly on the organ and presented in sublime sound quality in a specter of 50 to 18000 Hz.
To be present in a state of religious silence with this combination of impressions totally overwhelms you. So, the photos above only intend to document that the event took place. To the left "Vejle Inlet Bridge" projected on the church tower and to the right the organ virtuoso in action.

What's next - Thoughts?
Based on my cooperation with Nordic Rentals, which has powerful projectors (many times stronger than the one I used on the church tower) and huge screens, which can produce sound that makes birds somersault, which in short can support any event with sound and light.
Based on my cooperation with organist Carsten Thomsen.
Based on that most of my art is digital and can be projected anywhere.
The only limit is my imagination.......

The only limit is my imagination.
Every Thursday, starting tonight from 19 to 22, I'll show the images and play the music from the church tower art event as well as past and future art events in my gallery in "Lille Fejringhus". The art events are shown on a wide screen size 118.1 x 88.6 inches with a 3000 lumen HP projector and managed by a HP computer. The music is presented by a Bang & Olufsen stereo amplifier and 2 large loudspeakers.
And?
And?
And?
And?
An art event in Aarhus Cathedral showing my art works with Aarhus motifs and more on a huge screen in the square in front of the cathedral, while Carsten Thomsen skillfully plays the Beatles concert on the organ with loudspeakers in the square?
An art event in Haderslev Cathedral showing my art works with Haderslev motifs and more on a huge screen in the square in front the cathedral, while organist Carsten Thomsen skillfully plays the Beatles concert on the organ with loudspeakers in the square?
An art event in the Christiansborg Palace Church showing my art works and more on a huge screen in the square in front of the church, while organist Carsten Thomsen skillfully plays the Beatles concert on the organ with loudspeakers in the square?
And?
And?
And?
A huge white cloth waving in the wind hanging down as a screen to show my art works high above and across Fifth Avenue outside St. Patrick's Cathedral where organist Carsten Thomsen expertly plays the Beatles concert with loudspeaker on the pavements of Fifth Avenue?
And?
And?
And?
Auditoriums at US Colleges and Universities - followed by an interactive lecture?
And?
And?
And?
