Today I'm going to tell you a story from my days at collage, but first progression of new Illu
Once upon a time I studied Architecture
There I found a lot of imposing rulers
The teachers all had fur, and their convictions had a clear tilt towards the radical.
Some hot chicks.
Here I learned: To drink wine
I got a new set of vocabulary
To over emphasize my lines
That all shadows are not created equal
That the strange gray contraption, was for sharpening your pencils
Pencil after sharpening
But we also was thought something more important, and that we found in the ART CLASS OF DOOM.
In this class we where meant to learn water color painting, our teacher wouldn't exactly levitate but you didn't here her when she came. She was a rather imposing woman both in height and weight. When you where painting she would float by and in a very monotone voice say:
"now you have killed it", (Nu har du dödat den) meaning you had added to muchcolorr, and you could throw it away.
Even today when I paint I hear her mantra, "now you've killed it", ringing in my ears, and making painting almost impossible.
I'm doing a new illustration this week for an other publication, have to prepare for a lecture I give next Tuesday also so hope I will manage to finish it this week .
Didn't do to much more on the Vienna piece but a sky, it's supposed to be old Franz Josef in the clouds if you wonder. If you want to enlarge the picture there is a small warning it's rather a high resolution.
Grüss gott! und wie sehen um uns.
Stef, has made a little homage to me on his blog, Stef was one of the first Artist blogs I found and his skilled dumb founded me at first, his travel sketches are so wonderful, hopefully he'll publish a book soon. Drank some wine and didn't dare to continue on the Vienna piece, made some in the sketch book instead.
The Duel
There might be a story behind this one, but you have to write it yourself
Jurassic skiing
Just because you're extinct doesn't mean you can't have a good time
I've added a basilisk thanks for the tip Sara Mank, don't really know how to progress now, if I will do the shading in photoshop (shudders). Must make something about the special winds in Vienna, the article speaks of this. We'll see tomorrow what happens.
You can tell it's there first performance because they are awfully un tight.
Vienna progression
Didn't find to much time yesterday to continue on this watched some TV instead, but managed to do some buildings. The black dot on top of the new building is supposed to be a Hapsburg eagle, (they had two heads, like Zaphod Beeblebrox). My mother asked me who the people with wheel barrows where, they are supposed to be Freud carrying patient. This is not for a travel magazine, mind you.
In this Illustration I do not obey the rules of perspective ( doing this gives me severe head aches, my mind wants perspective) . But as I progress perspective sips in, bad brain. In the top right you see the ferris wheel, where Orson Welles had his priceless monologue in the third man, a must see. I whish I had the possibility to re see it before I made this Illustration.
I'm working on an illustration for a music magazine, the theme being Vienna a city I unfortunately haven't visited. The closest to Vienna I've been is when I saw the third man. Any suggestions of buildings I shouldn't miss are welcome, I've got a lot of space left as you can see.
Please, if you got an urge for change try to use my poll on the left here, and see if there's a change on the blog)
And Jason got a rather interesting post on his blog today, you know how utterly puritan we Swedes are, I blame Luther.
While waiting for my daughters swimming lesson, there's not enough baroque architecture in my home town, city planner can you do something about this or do I have to migrate to Rome?
I've got a lot of questions regarding the flying pigs that sometimes occur in my drawings, and it's time to reveal their secret
Apart from being a serf at a game company, doing the occasional doodle I'm also a fully licensed pig farmer (through the UEPFA, United European pig farmer Association). In farming the pigs I noticed that certain pigs tended to be able to reach heights I didn't think possible, see the pig on the roof?)
By carefully inter breeding these individuals I was able to enhance their airborne capacities further
And at last making some of the developing wings.
And at last making them more birdlike, mark you they still don't lay eggs, they are still mammals.
They have kept all the good sides of pigs with the bonus of flight.
Now I need a catchy name for them, flying pigs doesn't really do it for me.
All suggestions are welcome.
