The 3x3 Illustration Annual I was recently chosen to be in, inspired this recent doodle. Fireworks went off in my head and then spilled out on this Moleskine page.

Drawing of beautifull rock piles at Lapland mountain( called tunturi)

Saga of bunny like creatures continues

Just some random doodling in my Moleskine. It never gets old.

I’m back! The game company I work for hit some turbulence and laid off half the studio. I’m still there but it took a while to adjust. Getting back to my own work now. This was drawn with my Sailor King of Pen (M). What a pen! My Royal Tangerine 1911s is to the left for size comparison.

Sometimes subject came from nowhere and you dont know what it is or what is meaning

Exploring drawing with Procreate and the iPad.

Even monsters have feelings. No one wants the good times to end.

The man with a vast red hat met a flower on the pad and asked, "Are you my dad?" The flower said, "No. I'm not the one, but I'll pretend I'm your dad if you'll pretend you're my sun."

Experimenting today with an oil transfer drawing technique. The red and purple lines are oil drawn/transferred to hot press 140 pound watercolor paper with watercolor applied. The oil resists the watercolor.

The Sunbeam and the Troll. Illustration of famous Finnish song. I draw three versions of it. Top of the drawings is last and then second and first one. I try to catch idea that Sunbeam fairy is more made of light than materia. Pretty tricky to me ;) ”When sun had ended its mission, The last Sunbeam Was left behind her sisters for a moment. The dusk was settling on the grounds, A Sunbeam with golden wings Was just about to fly before it, But she saw a small Troll come across: It had just risen up from his cave. See,a Troll before the twilight May never live on earth. They were looking at each other The Troll in his chest Felt an odd flame. He said:"You are burning my eyes, But never in my life have I seen something so wonderful!" It doesn't matter that your brightness will make me blind It's easy to wander in dark.”

Work from 2015

Sketched in Rebelle. Inked with a fountain pen. Colored in Rebelle & Photoshop.

Another batch of sketches from my time in the album recording session earlier this week. Noodler’s ink blue loaded in my fountain pen, then applying a bit of water with a water brush. I like the bleeding that occurs.

Digital vs Analog, best of both worlds -- Sketched in Rebelle 3 and inked with a Platinum 3776 Century Shungyo SF. Ink is Platinum Carbon Black.

These are a few random pieces from the last few weeks.

Neil was the first author whose words I first fell in love with.

Nature is where you become a true you, it's a place to disconnect from the world and to feel so connected to it at the same time.
