Two reviews of Mattias unfiltered: nne over at my friend at Parkablog, and this one a staff pick over at Heroes.

Fear of an octopus planet

This is my 2000th post almost missed it, I used to notice this kind of things before.

Shipping news


For the first time in North America, brilliant Swedish illustrator Mattias Adolfsson’s incredibly lush sketchbook illustrations are collected in a facsimile Moleskine edition. Adolfsson, in between assignments for the New York Times, videogame design, children’s books and other major publications, spends his time filling untold Moleskines with intricate and beautifully detailed drawings of whatever strikes his fancy. From hot-rod spaceships to rocket-fueled fountain pens, from baroque robots to Richard-Scary-gone-berserk cityscapes, Adolfsson uses his imagination to create everything mad scientists world-over haven’t even begun to dream up. can be bought from amazon

Washed herring

I think I will hesitate doing another commission cockpit piece, it really takes it toll.

Brush works

In a rare spending spree I bought this Fountain Hair Brush Pen makes washing drawings more fun.

the Herring

Now only some washing, but not until next week

Carbon made


I've used Platinum carbon ink for this drawing, the ink has a big advantage over noodlers as it dries almost immediately. The final test will be how it works when I apply the wash.

The aching game

Doing a cockpit commission piece again, my finger is already aching...

Last in line


I guess I have about 20 books left (at home, I think my publisher have some random copies left as well) , then my first book is sold out: http://mattiasadolfsson.bigcartel.com/
