SAKANA

Have I told you about this comic before? Well, if I have, it's worth mentioning again!!

The name of it is SAKANA (written and drawn by Mad) and it's about this dude and his brother, working at the worlds largest fish market. May not sound thaaaat interesting, but shit is random and fun and the comic is well done!! I really like the style and the story isn't too complicated but still interesting enough to keep you reading and follow it. I've been following it for some time now and I recommend you to do the same~

What do you expect?

So, at the beginning of my internship at the Paris office of Partizan I was helping the director Bo Mirosseni putting together a treatment for his latest project. It was fun working with but I'm still wondering what people might have thought if they got a look at my screen while I was looking for reference pictures..
Take a look at the finished piece and you'll get an idea of the pictures I was looking for!

All alone (almost)

Yesterday I graduated from Hyper Island! I've been having three fantastic days here in Stockholm with about half of my classmates (those who could join us) and a magical ten months with my whole class!!
It feels strange not being a class any more, and I'll miss that sooo much.. But now I'll have friends and colleagues all around the world, and that's noting to feel sad about! I'm so impressed with them all and I'll be so mad at myself if I don't take time and talk, visit, work or think of them!

 
MGD12STO, I love you guys

 

Painfull inspiration

I save so much pictures on my computer for inspiration, a year ago I saved around 50 pictures a week.. I still save a lot but I've learned that if you save too much it'll just get lost and a lot of things will lose their "creativeness". Now I've started to use We Heart It more, to save stuff that is inspiring but not inspiration for my drawing/style. Of course you get inspiration from everything, but some things just feels better to put in another place, can't really explain it..~

 

On my account you'll find all these pictures, a lot of cute guys, delicious looking food and interior design.

The Hyper Sect

A week ago I was at a Hyper Island (my school) Meet up here in London, a really nice sort of event and I'm looking forward to more of them! I started talking to some current and examine students from Hyper and some of them took a look in my sketchbook. One of the guys told me he would like a chibi portrait of himself since he have had thoughts about it for a long time and he liked my style. So yesterday when I didn't have much to do at my internship, I started to draw him a little chibi~ I like the result and it seems like he likes it as well!

I made him some different clothes to choose from, but this is my personal favourite

Playing around with ink!

Today me and two other guys have been playing around some with ink! I really like to work when you can (or maybe HAVE to) do test stuff away from the computer. Sure, I've been looking at some videos on YouTube but it's so much more fun doing it yourself- even tho the result might not turn out as good. We for example didn't have a big bowl or tank to drop the ink in (so it could swim around more freely). But doing things yourself makes you understand it more; "Oh, we have to use more ink", "it has to have more force in it". Also by doing things by yourself makes you discover new things that you may have not thought of before.
Bla bla bla, here's still pictures of some of my favourites!

Brain Power

I'm trying to make something nice and fun, been doing so much animation lately that my brain is not functioning properly any more. Might also be because I've slept bad sine I arrived to London and yesterday it smacked me in the face.. Anyway, drawing things following a picture is quite relaxing and doesn't need that much brain power as animation!
