Mr. Awkward Show Presents Mr. Poser (2020)
The first book published under my new publication house Núllið Book Club, Mr. Poser {ISBN 978-9935-24-793-3} is a conceptual art piece which extends its wings into the diverse realm of art creation. The book is a photo, performance and graffiti project combined into one. In the book, the reader will get to see the works of one of the biggest and most prolific graffiti artists in the Icelandic scene, Opes_vs_Vato, who, with the help of Mr. Poser, poses in front of his art in his finest outfits.
The graffiti scene in Iceland is bigger than most people think and it is supported by a large number of artists who are able to express their artistry via graffiti art who would otherwise have to keep a low profile. The goal of the artist is to shed a light on the incredible art that is a product of this scene and to give people the opportunity to enjoy these fancy and colorful graffiti pieces in the comfort of their own homes.
A collaboration with artist Anton Lyngdal (Mr. Awkward Show) and Þórsteinn Sigurðsson can be bought at mrawkwardshow.com/shop

Grátmúrinn (2013)
Sculpture made from my grandfather's private book collection, Iceland often brags about being a literary nation where one out of ten people would write or publish a book. Where this much reading and writing happens there is still an undertone of toxic masculinity and the sculpture which bears the title The Crying Wall in Icelandic is an installation dealing with the connection between those two subjects.

A Book Made With Collages Made By Other People... (2017)
A book made with drawings and prints from my classmates in Gerrit Rietveld Academie class of 2018. I used their prints made for class and wrote my thoughts and ideas based on them. The end result ended in this book designed by myself, where I try to conceptualise the concept of the mediocre, self-absorbed, white, male artist that I am.
