| The Fairy Tale character Hi World and the Fairy Tale "Happy Traffic" in the same poster. Happy Traffic is about children's safety in traffic. Before you buy this poster read the fairy tale on www.lonvig.dk/lucca.htm - if you buy a small poster, the letters might become too tiny to read. Then again you go to www.lonvig.dk/lucca.htm and this time you download a Word document with the story - free. The signs shown in "Happy Traffic" has been tested in Danish traffic. They have been tested in 3 cities on 20 different streets. People have told me that the signs functions according to the intentions. |

Piazza San Marco, Asbjorn Lonvig,
Better known to Anglophones as St. Mark's Square.
Inspired by a visit in Venice. Inspired by a stroll on St. Mark's Square, where I of course had cups of espresso,
listened to violin music and bought glass from Murano.
Inspired by Basilica San Marco, The Doge's Palace - Palazzo Ducale,
The tower on St. Mark's Place and sailing on the Grand Canal in Venice.
In The Companion Guide to Venice, Hugh Honour describes the Piazza San Marco
as "beautiful at all times of day or night and all seasons of the year.
It is one of the few delicate works of architecture that can absorb a bustling vulgar crowd without loss of dignity;
a great city square which retains a feeling of animation when there are few people in it."
Napoleon called the Piazza San Marco "the finest drawing room in Europe."

Christ, Asbjorn Lonvig,
Inspired by the large Jelling stone (in the city Jelling in Denmark) set up by the king Harold Bluetooth (d. 987).
The stone is decorated with an image of Christ, and the runic inscription announces that it was Harold
who united Denmark into one realm and made the Danes Christians.

Inspired by a stay at Banff Spring in The Canadian Rockies.
One morning I sat on a bench in the park of the famous Banff Spring Hotel, where I stayed.
The American Indian was there.
I asked him if I might paint him.
Yes!
And so I did.

| Education and biography | |
| Education: Autodidact Manifesto: It's about the fact that the art market is predicted to grow 3,5 times because of the Internet. It's about my decision to stake everything on the internet. It's about concentrating my efforts on the internet when it comes to sales. It's about my decision to make new standards and challenge art traditions by making my drafts on a computer and exhibit the drafts. And insist upon that a computer is nothing but a new tool. And insist upon that using a computer is as worthy as not doing it!!! Worthier????
