Canary Town

I started this while going down to Gothenburg, didn't manage to finish it on the train though. I used to do a lot of train sketching while I worked in Stockholm and libed in Gothenburg but found it extremely taxing now, I must be out of shape. I've started a course in Comic creation at HDK ( Seriekonst & avancerat bildberÀttande). I hope to get a kick start making some real comics, the progress will of course be shown on the blog.

  4. Do you make a sketch first before doing the actual illustration in the moleskin book, or do you just wing it?

  9. Hej Hej,

    Love your work Mattias. So playful and free of the constraints of most Westener art. Where in Sweden do you live? My girlfriend is from Sweden as well, from a village near Arvika.

    Best,
