Animate

Think I'm gonna get rid of my photo blog and show them here again.
Not that I take much pictures these days. But it'll come.

I quit smoking about 8 months ago, but still feel like having a cigarette every now and then...
ESPECIALLY when watching Girl, Interrupted. They're smoking all the time, even when having Ice-cream... but, I just noticed in Ghost World, not one cigarette is lit. Not even the satanists are smoking!!! Amazing.

Not even when sitting in a restaurant or drinking beer.
(yeah, as if bad boy-Seymore would smoke)

Atomic Moonshine

I made a CD-cover couple of months ago, for a local band named Atomic Moonshine (my sister's on the drums).
They wanted to have an 80s-cartoon style. You can find them on myspace and also here on youtube.

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.
