Hooligans!

A drawing for a hardcore Hammarby supporter.

Like father like son..

Don't know if I should thank my dad for buying this drum kit or cry. We'll see. Seems like the kid's into music so, go ahead, bang yourself senseless.

Sketchin'...

Somehow the scanner seems to hate my red pens or something, it just looked frigging horrible. That's why the little PS in between. This is a quick sketch for a customer, we'll see if he likes it..

Hellzinki...

Went to Finland to tattoo two friends of mine and this is what turned out of to be. Kinda like them roses I've been doing lately. A bit different style and a lot fooling around with colors.
Have a good one!

MY new tattoo.

Was about time I got tattooed as well. Went to Copenhagen, Conspiracy Inc. to be exact and sacrified myself under the merciless drilling of Mr. Electric Pick.
Finished the piece in a bout 4,5h, and thats FAST. Was killing time by watching the twisted face of Eckel's customer and asking tons of (annoying) questions from Nick.
They got a proper dream team going at Conspiracy now and they're gonna move to a bigger place so, good for them.
One thing though bothers me enormously, why are people in such a hurry getting tattooed?? Why settle for less just because you have to wait more than 8 months?? Its there for life for Gods sake.
Anyways, couldn't be happier with the result. Great job once again.
Laters!

Monkey Business..

This is the first sketch for a tattoo for a friend of mine. Should be two gorilla heads facing each other on the chest. Two alike that is. We'll see what he thinks of it.

Roseroserose...

Its kinda funny that people tend to choose the same colours to their roses. Well, as long as they look nice its fine by me.

Ommmmmmmm..........

Its been awhile..

Holidays and stuff is over so, might start blogging a bit more.
Anyways, this is what I freehanded yesterday. The guy wanted a black script-like text, but I suggested something else. Something every other dude wouldn't have.
He thanked me later.
See ya!

Popey got his colours

Popey arm.

Finally got to do the colours on my buddy. Looks a bit weird cause the lines are old, but it should heal ok.
ps. whatta fuck is wrong with myspace? The pictures look AWFUL when you post them. Any way I could skip the horrible pic quality???
Laters!

A woodpecker skull..

I've got a mate who's last name is Tikka, which means woodpecker in Finnish. He said he wants a woodpecker skull with some skeleton skinny fooked up wings with it. By the way, I'm only consulting here, since he's in another country and asked a friend of ours and me to sketch it. My friend did one and here's what I came up. Don't really know what he really wants 'cuz I haven't talked to the guy myself but here's a quickie what I thought he might be after. Yet to hear what he really wants....

Look!

This makes it all worth while. I remember feeling like this coming back from Copenhagen..

Sweet..

Finally somehow it feels like I'm making some progress with the lines. It's not an easy task I'll tell ya. Anyways, here's what I did yesterday. I was pleased. And that doesn't happen often...
Can't wait to get the colours done!

B

Did this little B on myself. Its B as Bella, Little Miss Sunshine. Not that easy to grind yourself on the wrist, I tell ya. But if there is a will, there is a way. Prolly gonna do a blue O on the other side, just so that the other don't get jealous.
Laters!

Call 911

I'm at it again. Skulls. I think in 10 years time you'll see me in the 9 o'clock news being carried away from this godforsaken cabin in the middle of nowhere, MAN HAS BEEN SLEEPING WITH A DECOMPOSED SKELETON FOR FIVE YEARS.... With all these drawings as a wall paper.
Ok, time to call the fellas with white jackets.
So long!

Whaddya know!

So, I did another skull... Jesus, maybe I should get help.. Well, if anything good comes out of this skull-loving of mine is that at least I don't have to start sweating when and if somebody wants to have a skull done.
"Can you draw me a bird?" - "Hmmm, yeah, howabout it's INSIDE OF A SKULL??"
That's how I'm gonna end up. Sad old skull fuc..lover.
At first I thought that when I'm kinda pleased with my skulls I'll start doing something else. But seems like I'm never pleased or if I am, I'll get excited and try to make a nicer one. Can't win, me.
But honestly people, skulls are NOT the only thing I'm drawing.
Second thought, they are! Shit.........

About what I promised..

Well I lied. Made some skulls anyways. Fast ones.

*ello!

I was wondering, is drawing the same frigging things all time repeating myself or good training to find my "thing" and my style. I remember the graffiti days, you kept on doing sketches with the magazines open and finally it kinda turned into your own style.
I guess if there was a line of people wanting to have a tattoo by me or a painting I'd be fine by doing the same stuff, but now its kinda frustrating cause I end up doing the same shit all over. When I finally find my way of doing roses and skulls I promise to concentrate on something else. Seems like I'm going towards more realistic way of doing roses. And skulls. But I definitely am not going for the B&G picture-like stuff.
The next blog, I PROMISE, it'll be something else than skulls or roses. Right now I'm just going through a phase, sorry, be patient.

A month has passed..

Kinda feeling bad for not updating anything here but I never thought it as a blog, more like a diary of some sort. That I can look back and see what was happening at this and that time of my life.
Anyways, been having this drawer's block (is there one?) lately, or maybe more just lack of inspiration I'd say. Been sitting a few time with a pen but nothing comes out of it. So, I just thought that fuck it, can't be bothered.
This friday however I opened a bottle of red wine and SWOOOOSH, all kinds of ideas started to pop up. Not from the bottle, people, from my head after a few glasses.
So, a friend of mine has a 10 year old son that really loves skulls (yeah, they all do..) so I've given him a few drawings o mine and he just told me that he had bought frames and hung them on the wall! They're just sketches! Anyways, I thought I might as well do something for him while drawing and this came out. Not excatly a skull, might have to explain the lad it really is a PART of a skull, so he won't be dissappointed.
K stands for Kevin, the lad.
Sometimes the best ideas seem to come after a few whiskeys or some wine. Beer works as well.

OK, (telling myself) now is time to get some stuff done. Enough with the tv.
See you soon o diary.

Time to go home again...

Ok, one of the most boring bloggings ever but this is our holiday in a nutshell. A lot more happened but no camera involved. Christmas Eve and the New Years as well passed by under the palm trees. The best party must I say was the one with the locals. Kinda the same we did last summer but this time with some SERIOUS Thai karaoke, all night, non stop, too loud. Too bad I left my camera home, cause this was a major party with about 60 people. A tent had been put up and these weird long lights been hang up from the palm trees. Of course we got a major ride back home, a massive convoy. Its a status thing of some sort that you can or will arrange a big party. Anyways, we had a blast.
Now, just packing and feeling excited about going back to the eternal darkness and cold. By the way, who ever made up that Hell is a hot place? Well, much rather that than our fucking weather.
Ps. That snake above? We all walked over it (didnt see it) and Bella was about to pick it up cause she thought it was a fish. Shes 2,5. And it was dark. Or maybe she thought that it was some sort of an eel or something.. The locals are shitscared of snakes, harmless or not. Because ALL of the worst excist over here.
Ok, gotta go.
