mélange

It's been a while since I've posted anything, so here's a bit of this and a bit of that.
I wrote in an earlier post about the 24 paged comic 'Obsolete', which I've been working on for Nobrow Press for some time now. Well, it's all done and polished now and will be published in April. I'll do a post about it then, and add some of the pages.

Why is it so horridly difficult to decide even the smallest of things? I certainly hope that some of the artists I admire out there are as indecisive as me sometimes, cos that would really reassure me.


And here's some random sketches, tests and a birthday present:







Here's a selection of some single page stories I worked on for the Danish book 'Pære-Perker-Dansk' which includes 9 short stories about immigrants, being an immigrant, feeling like you don't fit in, trying to fit in and prejudice in general. It was challenging to write, but a great experience. The book was published some months ago by Rosinante&Co.

At the moment, I'm working on a 24 page comic called Obsolete published by Nobrow Press. Here's some tests I did to find the style of line and coloring as well as some sort of a solid palette.

Here's one of the many versions:

Here's most of them in color:

The previously ongoing jam-blog is now yet again, ongoing.
The break was mainly due to whining and creative blockage on my behalf, sorry 'bout that chaps.

It must be quite cool being able to flash a huge chest tattoo of a ship.


Approximately a year ago, I did this drawing while eating soup after spending two whole days in an art museum in Petersburg. Those Russian painters are such amazing craftsmen!
