Skull

Another month has passed and Xmas i closing in.

I'm hard at work with two childrensbooks. There will be a lot of monsters in january when I will start to work on "The monster planet".

I got a nice A5 Wacom tablet last week. I'm starting to get the hang of it now. Here is a skull I did today.

Monstershop

Once again I fail to update my blog more than once a month...

I have started a small shop with some of my monster designs. It is based in Sweden so I don't know if it ships abroad. I have a small Cafépress shop that ships in the US. I will extend that further down the line.

And now for the Swedes:
Jag har startat en liten affär med tröjtryck. Där finns det vampyrer, varulvar och annat mysigt. Titta gärna in och handla en tröja eller två. Snart är det jul...

Illustration Friday - Quiet

My first submission to the weekly illustration exhibition.
An old picture but I don't have the time right now (workworkworkwork).

Topic: Quiet (or mayby "Too quiet").

Long time, no blogging

It has soon been a whole year since I posted anything here....

That has to change.
Here is the latest illustrations I made for the Swedish horror magazine Minotauren. It is LeFanus The White Cat.

MiskatoniCon done!

This past weekend we pulled off something fantastic. A Lovecraft convention! Three days of films, lectures, a nice artshow and a Lovcraftian musical!

MiskatoniCon is the first swedish Lovecraft Con ever and it went well. H.P. Lovecraft Historical Soceity helped us with alot. They showed and talked about their new film The Call of Cthulhu (it is amazing!). They wrote a LARP for us and the musical we played; A Shoggoth on the Roof is theirs as well. Thanks Sean and Andrew!

Many thanks to all the visitors and welcome back next year!

Kong is back!

On the latest of the incredible production diaries for Peter Jackson's King Kong you get to meet the original King Kong! Monster man extraordinaire Bob Burns has travelled to New Zeeland with his King Kong armature! The original puppet used to animate the big ape in the 1933 King Kong. Go check it out!

You find this production diary (Post Production Diary - 8 Weeks To Go) and all the other at: Kong is king

I just can't wait till the movie is out in december. Maybe I'll see the original to night again...

Free Lovecraft comic

The people behind the online Lovecraft game Arkham happenings: Spiders in the nightArkham by night has released a comic book! Lovecraft Country: Return to Arkham.
You can download it for free or by a printed copy from their Café Press site. Very nice!
You can read more about it here.

Trouble with pictures

I have tried to upload a new portrait a couple of times. It just won't work. Let's try this way.

You have something on your chins...

A noble monster. Maybe the Innsmouth look again.

Work, work, work

Hum, ten days with out any entries. My bad. The workpile is growing. A good thing but the stress is also building.

I have finished the posters for MiskatoniCon and started on the tickets. I have a week to finish the illustrations for horror zine Minotauren. Next week I will start at a proper job. Newspaper add-work one day a week.

I have a kid's book about wind (not that kind) that is to be finished next month. Fun stuff.

This weekend I will finally see the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead. I am looking farward to it. I'm not much of a gore-lover so what I have read about the movie has put me of it a bit. But, what the hell.

I have to draw more monsters...
