Some recent work!

Realized I haven´t updated this blog in forever. The move to instagram and facebook has affected that. Plus I´m working on a website. However, I´ll try to post some things here until the site is up and running.

Here are some things I´ve been working on as of late, if anybody still reads it ...

Here´s a new personal graphic novel. Don´t know when it will be released, as it´ll be quite long, and hand painted. But I want to share some pages from that one regardless.

This project is based on a movie from 2010 I worked on as a story contributor, creature designer and prop designer. I had lots of story laying around that was aching to be used, and finally I´ll be releasing the first of hopefully many graphic novels in the universe of The Trollhunter.

I´ve also started working more with abstract comics and whatever comes from that, and have had a couple of exhibitions the last years. The first big exhibition will come next year, but here are some results from what´s been going on already.

Work in progress.

Ny anmeldelse/ New review.

Review.

Darkly Uncomfortable it says .. in positive terms, nevertheless :)

Releaseparty, exhibition and response for Stumtjener (Portemanteau)!

As the exhibition is coming to an end, I remembered I´ve been too busy to post anything from it. Many things have happened since then, and I´ve received several amazing reviews and have done some very nice interviews. Very grateful for this. I was also in Stockholm at the SPX there, and it was a fun experience. Even got rid of some books :)
