J-horror

The wave of horror movies from Japan and re-makes from the States has been a good thing for the horror films.

I saw One missed call the other day. Good movie. It has a more western feel to it (you get to see the monster more and a higher body count). It was interesting to see. I liked the american re-makes of The Ring and The Grudge maybe even more than the japanese originals. They have a bit faster pace. I have not seen the Dark waters re-make yet. I really liked the original. We will see.

One film I hope they won't do an american version of is Uzumaki (Spiral). The slow and very wierd feeling of the movie would be lost. I really want to read the mangabooks.

I made a drawing combining different elements from the j-horror movies. It turned out quite nice. I look forward to doing some more Sadaku drawings. All that hair and wierd fingers...

Haarrrr! Prepare for a broadside, Captain!

Links added

A small step for blogs but a big one for me: I have added links... well, well...

Time machines and apes

A first small webpage for Anders and my new book Herbert och tidsmaskinen is up. More on that later (We have done some very spiffy buttons!). All in Swedish I'm afraid.

Working on posters for MiskatoniCon and some bookillustrations for a Sherlock Holmes articles book and some horror pictures for a magazine.

I saw some in-game movies from the King Kong game. Not bad. I'm not as hopeful about the game but it looks to be a decent action game. It's Kong for crying out loud!

Vacationpictures

Been away on a short vacation. When I was "isolated" on the farm I really got going with my monsters. A lot of Lovecraftian pictures. Some of the a uploaded in Gallery IV. Check them out.

Podcasting

Apple has added Podcasting to the latest version (4.9) of iTunes. I found
Dr Floyd there. It's a fantastic radio show. Fastpaced action adventure. Very funny.

New Mirrormask trailer

Neil Gaiman reported in his journal that there is a new Mirrormask trailer! Hurray! Dodgy music (not from the film) but new images I have not seen from the film. It really looks like this is going to be good. There is talk of a September 30th release in the US. We'll see when it comes to Sweden. 2006, 2007? Let's just hope for a DVD release soon.

A monster/Lovecraft related announcement: MiskatoniCon. For the first time there will be a Lovcraft convention in Stockholm, Sweden. Films, musical(!), games, art show and lectures. I am involved with the graphic design (website, posters etc). Check it out!

Monsters for sale.

Need to expand your family portrait collection?

I have started to sell some small, framed monster drawings on Tradera (like a swedish eBay). I have finished some vampire and zombie pictures. Check it out!

Some colors

More monsters out there

Finally I have got my horror illustration site up on the web. It is my first English language promotion site.

I have finshed the two children's books I was working on. I am quite pleased with them. The style and technique that I found for them feels good and I hope I get to do more in that style and with the characters. Lets just hope they get some good reviews and sell a lot.

I have been in contact with a guy i the States and I might help him with his PRGproject. The basic idea of the world is great. More later on.
