He attended Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, and graduated with an illustration BFA in 2001. He uses brushes, ink, and Photoshop to create his work, which often deals with nature and geography. He takes liberty in translating his Swedish name into "A tidal stream that you should avoid rowing your viking ship through." His website http://www.driveintothesun.com/ is dedicated to a series of work he created while on a road trip from New Hampshire to Oregon.
