"Loose Ends" is an artwork that intertwines symbolism with a playful narrative. At its core, the illustration explores themes of connection, independence, and the unexpected twists of life.

The woman herself, shaped by the contours of the shoelace, represents the fluidity and adaptability of the human spirit. She holds a pair of Converse sneakers, iconic symbols of youth, urban culture, and personal style. These sneakers may signify a journey, both literal and metaphorical, as well as the steps we take in life's ever-unfolding narrative. Meanwhile, the dog running away with the loose end of the shoelace adds an element of whimsy and spontaneity to the scene. The dog's actions suggest the unpredictability of life and the way in which unexpected events can alter our course. Yet, there's also a sense of freedom in the dog's playful antics, reminding us of the joy found in embracing life's detours and surprises.

Thorbjørn Ruud (1974), an multi award-winning art director hailing from the vibrant landscape of the advertising industry, with highlights such as Kreativt Forum's Honorary Award and gold in Digital Craft in the Cannes Lions Festival. He defies conventional artistic norms with his unconventional approach. Rather than conforming to predefined techniques and styles, Thorbjørn draws inspiration directly from his ideas, resulting in a portfolio where each artwork possesses its own distinctive flair.

His methodology is deeply rooted in his experience crafting advertising campaigns, where he has specialized in the visual side of creativity. Over the past 25 years, Thorbjørn has delved into the realm of digital art using ProCreate, Illustrator and Photoshop, seamlessly blending it with analog techniques such as Posca markers, crayons, and oil paint. This fusion of mediums adds a dynamic texture to his creations. Thorbjørn's artistic journey traces back to his upbringing on the dynamic east side of Oslo during the 1970s. It was amidst the burgeoning graffiti and street art culture of neighborhoods like Stovner and Vestli in the 1980s that his passion for artistic expression ignited. He later moved to another part of Oslo, Mortensrud. Here he opened his eyes to the visual and graphic aspects of snowboarding and skateboarding culture and this has left an indelible mark on his artistic style.
