Pretty dead around here, I know. I'm plugging away at plotting and writing, and it feels like I'm actually making some headway... in the scraps of time I can pry loose.

Other than that, it's been work, work, work. September looks pretty rough too, to be honest. Way behind on too many large scale projects, with deadlines bearing down on me from all directions. 

I may post some sketch material here over the next couple of days, though... and possibly let slip some character designs from my present project.

Anyone for some fun around the pool...?

Just this afternoon I had what feels like a great idea for how to structure the opening of my next comic, the one I want to serialize here... Now I just have to hope I can pull it off.

I'm gonna spend as much of the weekend as I can to try to coalesce this thing out of the ether, and not loose the images of it that I have in my mind's eye... it's nice when a spark of inspiration hits you friday afternoon while leaving work, instead of tuesday morning while you are stuck with a shitload of stuff that have to get done or else...

So, um... that just leaves the rest of the actual story to think up...

Also, if I can find the time to pick up the drawing pen, some hot boytoy action should be forthcoming over the weekend... I'm getting a bit bored with pin-ups, I want to do something a little more hardcore, I think...

Time for some new guys, isn't it? I originally meant the sexy dude above for my header image, but although I purposely chose a low pose, it still came out too big . I'm sure I'll think of something else.

I've really had a hectic couple of weeks, so it's nice to get some little time to wind down - in between non-stop crazyness at my day job there was EuroPride (that was fucking AWESOME!), then last weekend I was at a friends 50'th birthday party - western themed! We hoe-downed til the wee hours, let me tell you...

Work is progressing nicely on my collaboration with Dale Lazarov, NIGHTLIFE - all pages are drawn, and the book is being coloured now. What I've seen of it looks pretty fucking excellent...

Well, it's back to work for me... although, by work I mean drawing hot guys, so you know, poor me...

Next week is Stockholm Pride , and I'm going, of course. It's gonna be great! Me and my boyfriend go almost every year. When you live all the way out in the sticks like we do, it's really nice to get away and spend some time with the tribe. It's always wonderful spending time in Stockholm, but it's especially wonderful seeing al lthe people wearing Pride dog tags everywhere you look. It's like the whole city is queer.

We're usually hanging out with a great gang of friends, drinking champagne, dancing, and partying the whole time. Lazy warm days and long, hot nights... It's not a very relaxing vacation, to be honest, but it's always great fun.

And it doesn't hurt that Stockholm is hosting Europride again this year - that always brings in that extra international crowd.

So - anyone else going?

Yeah, so I've changed the site a bit. There are still a few bugs to work out, but over-all it seems ok.

 Thoughts? Comments? Ideas?

Well, christmas is a little ways of yet, but I thought you might enjoy a little gingerbread man... And I don't know about you lot, but here in sweden we like to eat gingerbread all year round.

For a couple of years I used to do christmas card decorations for a local business - I wonder what they would have said if presented with this guy...

This was another warm-up sketch trying out new PS techniques that got away from me. I should really be finishing up NIGHTLIFE instead - I've only got a couple of pages left...

This is very exciting! My best friend Ola Skogäng is getting his first GN published - a 200 page childrens book about a bear (an actual bear) who investigates supernatural crime in the Stockholm area. The title is Mumiens Blod (Blood of the Mummy).

Ola is really a much better artist than I am - his Stockholm scenery is quite exquisite. He works in a more european, semi-ligne claire style. And the fucker draws up to four pages a day. His web page is Theo's Home. Stop by and check it out!

The book is launched the 25 of april, and Ola will be signing at the SPX con at Kulturhuset, Stockholm 25-27 april. The book's only available in swedish at the moment, but hopefully an international release will follow.

Made a second attempt at this piece (first try looked absolute crap), which suddenly veered into blue. Blue really is my favourite colour...

I've really gotten into playing around trying to learn how to color / paint. So I think there will be a few more sketches here on this theme... Did another one just now that turned out TOO hideous, so that will have to be redone before it's put up.

In this sketch, I'm mostly playing around with colouring and color holds...

This blog will obviously remain dormant over the holidays. No naked santas for you, I'm afraid. I'll get back into drawing naughty pictures sometime in january.

Have a merry Midvinter Solstice Celebration, and a happy new Gregorian Calender Year, y'all!

Man, I haven't been posting a damn thing lately!

Work and real life is really kicking my ass at the moment, I'm afraid. Everybody is back from vacation and it seems every bloody thing I'm involved with has kicked into high gear at the same time... It doesn't help that I've spread myself a bit thin (as usual - I have a real problem saying no to interesting stuff).

I'll really try to get something new up this weekend...

A short hiatus turns so easily into a long hiatus... This image sure brings back memories of the tortured, gnarled vegetation of the desert in Gran Canaria... among other things.

Can't say I'm happy with the color, though... It doesn't really capture the LIGHT and HEAT of the place. I don't know what to do about that. But I do know that I tend to over-desaturate my images...

And here is the finished piece... This guy is captain of his own starship, his body is tattooed with the ghosts of dead aliens - I think he's entitled to dress however he wants on the bridge...

It's probably going to be light posting here for a while longer. The majority of the work I'm doing is stuff I can't post here yet, and I don't really have time to devote to anything else right now... And next week I'll be off in vacation. I guess I should post something, at least...

Here's a little work in progress. This is just a quick character sketch I tossed down for a S/F story I'm thinking about. I wasn't going to spend much more time on it since it was just supposed to be a sketch, but as I was drawing it I grew to like the pose and attitude of the guy... I guess I'll work on it some more.

This is another favorite character of mine. Captain Britain in his "classic" outfit, designed by CB artist extraordinaire Alan Davis (one of my absolute favourite artists) when he took over the strip in the early eighties.

I can understand why he chose to simplify the design early on in his later Excalibur run, because, boy howdy was this baby tough to draw... I can't imagine doing it on a weekly deadline.

The image started out as a warm up sketch, evolving into a full illo. The pose is pretty generic... I had to draw it twice, because the finished pencils were lost through a Photoshop crash. One of the perils of working entirely digitally.

(Also, apologies for the crappy background.)

Ah, taking a swim in the mediterranean just about now would sure be good...

This is another older piece. As I recall, it took me about a week to finish.

A little slashpic, suggested by Dale. Lightray is another favorite of mine among Jack's creations. Orion on the other hand always struck me as dour and boring. But I guess gods have natural urges too...



And in full, blotchy color...


I almost never do fanart or slash, but this was a lot of fun (although it took an entire afternoon). I think this might turn into an irregular feature around here...

It's high time for some actual comics around here... I've been working on a book for a while now, and I thought I'd showcase a few pages here.

The following pages are from NIGHTLIFE, a forthcoming collaboration with Dale Lazarov (who wrote STICKY, Bruno Gmünder Verlag, 2006). The book is a collection of gay erotic comics stories of men who find masculine passion and tenderness in gay nightlife.

These pages are from the first story in the book, "After Hours", in which we see how a club DJ and his brawny bouncer partner wind down after a hard night's work at a dance club...


...and, well, things heat up a bit. I'll post a few pages more sometime.

So I read Chynna Clugston-Major's smart, funny, sexy Scooter Girl and got inspired. This popped out of my head. I think it needs a background though. I'd want to do something very sunny California... Something for later.

Thought I'd share this guy... When I colored this I wanted to evoke the look of a silk screen print.

Hmmm... for an allegedly homoerotic/pornographic blog, there is a woeful lack of cocks on display here... I must apologise, and resolve to do better.  

Kamandi without the pants though is just that guy you picked up last night, really. I'll have a rummage through my drawers and see what I can pull out tomorrow...

It's been raining for the whole fucking day today, so I decided it was time for a quick sketch, just to cheer myself up.

Kamandi is one of my absolute favorites - Jack Kirby channeling (=stealing shamelessly from) Planet of the Apes but thinking "wouldn't it be much cooler if all the animals became intelligent?". Why, yes. Yes, it would.

Besides, a half-naked guy with wild, long hair tearing through a post-apocalyptic future filled with hairy beast men... sounds like saturday night.

I'm not really one of those people who dream about a "Big Two" career - I know what I want to do, and they ain't gonna be getting into the gay porn business anytime soon. However, if I got an offer to do a classic Kamandi series tomorrow you wouldn't see me for the dust.

Lets start with a favorite of mine... Drew this some 4 years ago. The color work is dodgy in places, but over all I'm quite pleased with it.

These lovely guys are quite near and dear to me, as I've lived with them bouncing about in my head for about ten years... long story. Maybe, some day, I'll be able to tell you about some of their misadventures...
