This was done as part of a re-appropriation of the runes and to make them more inclusive and interesting to people who have never been interested in them before. By research, sketches and and practical tests, this thesis shows the growth and continued process of the project. It details the incorporation of kitsch and graffiti art into the project, explains why metal is so heavily featured in it and teases at what might be created in the future.engArtMetal ArtModern ArtRunesNorseVikingKitschGraffiti ArtText
