TESTEMONIALS

“Uanset om det har været til Tapas i Madrid lufthavn. I Uruguay uden søvn. I Rudeskov med alt for meget tøj på i forhold til vejret. Med millioner af dominobrikker der skulle ordnes i meningsfulde rækker. Med juleøl og tatar. Med ufortjent natarbejde på en skitur. Med kartoffelpsykopater på pap. Med mulige og umulige kunder. Mr indoor, skiborgmesteren og heavykokken. Det har været en fornøjelse.”
—Jan Sverker, Kollega

“They are scary. And that’s really what it should be like. They really complement the music and give the records that extra thing. He’s really worked it out of the lyrics as well, you know. I’m really proud that he’s done the artwork. Yeah, I have to say this once again: I am so impressed and proud that he even wanted to do this, because it’s an amazing artwork.”
— Peter Dolving, Client

“Frode er et varmt, positivt og meget engageret menneske, som er nysgerrig og holder af at udforske og afprøve nyt og har mange sjove kreative påfund – jo vildere og skævere, des bedre. Man føler altid sig som noget særligt i hans selskab. Frode er hjælpsom og betænksom med en dejlig smittende humor og et festligt sindelag. Meget loyal, sjov, inspirerende.”
— Gudny Arge, Kunde

“…That’s killer Frode, Thanks for being a part of it all, you did a great job, and really worked hard on this, and it shows it man! Touching it really is man!.”
— Mitch Harris, Client

Thanks for these they look great.
— Mark Hodgson, Client

“It’s a weird affair directed by one Frode Sylthe. Not your usual mix of live footage with studio shoots, but footage shot explicitely for the video, with the images replayed in a cartoon-ish black ‘n’ white style. Of course, this makes a posibility for ad- ditional effects, which the guys clearly needed. I’m sure you’ll be able to see it soon on most of the music channels, so look out for this wacky clip! No rating, although it deserves credit for its unorthodox approach!”
— Tony, Journalist

“Frode har været primusmotor for det visuelle udtryk i indtil flere af mine projekter, bl.a. de- sign af hjemmeside og artwork til vinylsingler. Det er sjældent det mest oplagte men oftest det mest funktionelle Frode præsenterer. Frode er en sand original, der med frie hænder udretter aldeles unikke sager.”
— Thomas Grønkjær, Kunde

”Frode er et fuldblods idékreatur: graciøs og kreativ selv i strakt galop.”
— Anders Harboe, Kunde

“Jeg synes at frode er super vild. han sparker igennem samtidig med at han tænker sig om.”
— Jesper Holme, Stragisk Planner

“… hate the shitty photo montage the band elected to use as visual representation of said title. It looks like the band took 11 minutes while hung over on a Sunday to create the cover, and if I were a less forgiving sonofabitch, I’d carry my dour feelings about their lack of aesthetic effort over to the music. ”
— Kevin Stewart-Panko,
Journalist Decibel

“… tænk engang at jeg ikke er listet som ven på dit site og det er Erik Skov endda. Fuck et trist røvhul.”
— Christian Ramsø, Kollega

“On voulait bosser avec lui et il était super chaud. On est très content de son boulot, il a su exprimer les différentes émotions qu’il y a dans le disque”
— Aqme, Client

“Min egen tusse er en visionær igangsætter og slavepisker.”
— Linda Gildberg, Kæreste

“Frode er sånn en snill gutt”
— Mor

“Onto the mindblowing artwork, and boy are you in for a treat with the Special Edition. The artwork is very simplistic, yet striking.”
— Ondeafears3, Blogger

“…Can’t get over the throwback artwork. So great. .”
— Christian Bair, Blogger

“Frode er superdygtig, men han skal ha’ nogen tæsk…”
— Chrisitan Nielsen, Kreativ direktør

“Frode er uden tvivl den meste kreative og ud af boksen tænkene person man kan arbejde med. Et kreativ indput og spark, der gør verden et meget sjovere sted og være.”
— Karsten Sand, Illustrator

Just to inform you that we have delivered the xxx to the client and he is really happy about it. He already shared it with his partners who love it as well.
Well done Frode and thanks for your great work !
- Marjorie Satgé Lopez , Client

>>Frode, you are a madman. I know it's in the pursuit of art...but I trust you and explained you we're not in the business of getting involved in anything cruelty-related.<<
- Barney Greenway, Client

>> Passer lige til dig …. Bortset fra at du hverken er udadvendt, servicemindet, energisk, fleksibel, mødestabil, ansvarsbevidst, opsøgende eller initiativrig…..til gengæld kan du måske være en god kollega…for andre socialt utilpassede…;). <<
– Arne Noack, Ven
