Motorcycle XII

Spent a few hours at The Arvika vehicle museum this afternoon. They have a great collection of mopeds and scooters there . Very drawable.

Aeroplane

I'm doing a book about aeroplanes. This is a Bleriot XI which made a sensation in 1909 when it crossed the English channel.

Exhibition in Arvika

Prints and sketches from Så funkar det och Jordens mystiska platser on display at the public library in Arvika until November 14. Super librarian Maria Wiman made it happen and took the portrait.

Space Travel IV

More work-in-progress from book about exploring our solar system. Great fun for a Sci-fi geek like me.

Poster

Poster for upcomming choir concert. Pencil renderings colored in Photoshop and cardboard structure added.

Bookstore Appearance

Live drawing premiere, book signing and prints from books i recently have illustrated on display at Bokskåpet in Gothenburg this past week end. Thanks Mia and Ulrika for generosity and guidance! And thank you kids and parents who came to watch! Prints will stay on display until October 30th.

From "Jordens Mystiska Platser"

Motorcycle XI

This is a nice one... lots of details... Drawable!

Motorcycle X

Well it's kind of a motorcycle, right? I actually started to draw a gargantuan Harley Davidson but it drove off halfway through. This was standing next to it.

Motorcycle IX

Still some bikes left to draw. Soon they all will be in hibernation.

Motorcycle VIII

Had to shrink front wheel to make it fit on my sketchpad.

Motorcycle VII

Back home again. This is (I think) a HD Sportster Forty Eight. Truly a work of art.

Motorcycle VI

...and here's the other.

Motorcycle V

Went to Stockholm to see if they have any motorcycles there. They do. Here's one...

Motorcycle IV

Same bike as yesterday. Different angle.

Motorcycle III

I guess people are taking their bikes to winter storage soon. Better hurry up.

Motorcycle II

Ooops, front fork an wheel not quite where it should be...

Motorcycle

Yes, motorcykles are also drawable.

Woodwork

New piece for upcoming show in Karlstad.

Space Travel III

Scene from the garage where the spacecraft is built. Still working on the design - now more bulb-like.

Road Work VII

Back to my favourite digger.

Plywood Guitar

Wanted to make something  out of a neck from an old Hoefner electric that's been laying around for ages. I wanted it to be a bit ugly. The cheap plywood's limited ability to bend set the limit of the design. And I also wanted to know what it would sound like with crappy material like plywood.

My left wrist apparently took some beating in the process so unfortunately I have to leave this summers project unfinished. Really annoying cause I'm dying to know what it sounds like.

Back to drawing diggers then maybe?

Road Work VI

Yes, it's the digger again.

Road Work V

Digger.

Road Work IV

Road Work III

Clear shapes, lines and angels. Everything visible - bucket, arm, boom, joints, cylinders, hoses, tubes, tires...
Drawable.

Road Work II

I like these machines because they are so drawable.

Space Travel II

Another sketch.

Space Travel

My next illustration job is for a book from writer Peter Ekberg about traveling the solar system. So YAY! I get to draw more spaceships! Here's a sketch.

Mystical places

Illustration from an upcoming book about the worlds most mystical places. The Bermuda Triangle for example. I wanted to do something with spaceships and I wanted the scale to be GRAND. So I came up with this. I love drawing spaceships.

Road Work I

Machines for road work parked for the weekend in my neighborhood. Lovely machines aren't they?
