Christopher Nielsen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christopher Nielsen (born April 20, 1963) is a Norwegian comics artist. He is especially known for his subcultural depictions. Nielsen got his first comics printed in 1980. It was sent in to a competition in the Norwegian anarchistic magazine, Gateavisa. Only three years later he got his first album printed.

His most famous cartoon, To Trøtte Typer (Two Wasted Wankers), depicts the life of the two drug users and petty criminals Odd and Geir living their relatively boring lives in Oslo, Norway. This cartoon has been made into a feature for television, running for 13 episodes plus a Christmas special. They also star in the animated movie Free Jimmy (Slipp Jimmy Fri) along with several others of Nielsen's more famous characters. Another well-known character is the notorious Hold Brillan (Hold My Glasses), a huge "redneck"-like character who terrorizes his so-called mates and always gets into a fight. Thus "Hold My Glasses" - he cannot fight with them on for fear of breaking them.

Christopher Nielsen is the brother of late musician Joachim Nielsen, and drew all of the album covers for his brothers band, Jokke & Valentinerne, except for one, because the artist was then in India on vacation.
