Illustrations I've made for a comic magazine, "Transit", wich portraits a crossdressing woman,
her difficulties growing up etc. The author had an interview with this woman, Johanna, he asked me if I wanted to make illustrations for it. And I was happy to!
The comic is a biography about a male transvestite and his difficulties in life, growing up, fantasies and meetings with other people. He had 27 artist (including me) drawing for his manuscript!

The dreamy princess Gnat Swarm
This is a little princess, named Gnat Swarm, who crawled out from my mind in December.
I'm planning to write a book for children where she's the hero.
Not sure how the story will go but it will not be as creepy as her looks.
She's just curious, maybe too curious...

John Bauer
Source of inspiration, since always.
Who doesn't love John Bauer? I could go on for a long time explaining why his art is so dear to me.
Not just that I grew up with stories that he illustrated but I've always loved forests, mystery, fairy tales and myths. He illustrates it so perfectly beautiful. Sometimes it breaks my heart knowing that some places aren't real.
I've made a few fan-arts, but most of them when I was under 9 years old.
The most recent is from 2008, wich I gave to my father. Take a look: link.
And an older one, from 1997, six years old: link.
Take care and may all the creatures of the forest be with you.

I'm practicing on different types of faces...
think I'm in love with big eyes and eyelids.
walk with daughters
Part of an illustration about a father who is out for a walk with his daughters,
the story to it is inspired by my background and a song by one of my favourite bands CocoRosie, Werewolf.
Listen to it on youtube:

I'm on my way
I haven't been able to publish any drawings lately, or inspiration posts, because I lack it all. Tough I've been drawing I haven't been able to get them digital. My camera just broke and I have no access to a scanner.
But that will going to change.
What have happened?
I've been working on cover arts for two bands, Atomic Moonshine and Gravedefiler. I also got more work, art for my friend's book (for his music too: Half of a Hole), contributing with a couple of comic pages for a magazine (Transa på tåg), it'll be the first Swedish comic book about transvestites. And a couple of friends want me to help them with tattoo designs.
At the same time trying to find "real" work, thinking that it'll give me a change to get out of Sweden.
The personal work I'm doing right now is about family issues, as usual I guess. "The walk with my daughters" or something.
