Bird on commuter train

on Sunday, October 23, 2011

Same day as I heard they made "fillers" (stuff to make your lips bigger and pouty) out of coxcombs. Breeding roosters with enormous combs, for this purpose only (whats left of the food goes into fodder and shit). I was on the commuter train when I started this drawing. The pose is from an actual lady in the train, the pattern of the seats is on most trains, subways and buses in Stockholm. Otherwise everything is from my brains.

Fully drawn with black Faber-Castell pitt artist pen in moleskine book, then scanned & traced in Illustrator.
Im getting more and more into making a comic, I have a bunch of parallel worlds in my head that wants to get into a story.

Urban wolfman, Beloved monster & Concerning rooftops

on Wednesday, October 19, 2011

I made these for an exhibition I had with some classmates in spring. The reason as to why I havent shown them is that I never scanned them before the exhibition (I finished Beloved monster the day we were hanging it). And since they've been framed ever since and Im lazy, Ive just forgotten all about them.

Odd creatures and people in Stockholm. I googled references for the city backgrounds. It's ink and a tiny bit of white gouache on aquarelle paper. The last picture is of them hanging on the exhibition.
