FLYGÖDLOR OCH HAVSMONSTER

Tomorrow I´m leaving for this years Gothenburg Book Fair, and just in time for this huge event the first copies of my latest foray into the mesozoic world have arrived.

Allow me to present "Flygödlor och Havsmonster" - a book about all those cool animals that shared the Earth with the dinosaurs, but who actually weren´t dinosaurs themselves.
Pterosaurs! Mosasaurs! Plesiosaurs! Ichthyosaurs! And other saurs as well!!!

I´m really happy with how it turned out. A huge thanks goes out to Mark Witton and Benjamin Kear who helped me with the science bits and made sure the reconstructions came out as accurate and up to date as possible.

Also out is "Skisser från Nordiska gudar" - a colouring book with sketches from last years Nordiska gudar. A book that incidentally will get an english edition very soon. 

Stay tuned!

Apart from the book fair in Gothenburg I´ll also be attending this years TetZooCon in London the 21st of October. Go here for more information on this momentous event:  http://tetzoo.com/convention/

NORDISKA GUDAR

Äntligen är den här! I förrgår damp "Nordiska gudar" ner rykande färsk från tryckeriet. 

Den finns nu i en bokhandel nära dig, eller online här:

NORSE GODS ARE GO!

Done!!

Last week "Nordiska gudar" (Norse Gods) was sent off to the printers, after three years of hard work. 

The book will be out in stores in late July - you can preorder it here:

And, how better to celebrate this momentous occasion than with my take on Ragnarok - the last painting made for the book. Apparently I needed a looming deadline and my heavy metal playlist in Spotify to finish this sucker...

Speaking of heavy metal here´s Loki in his aspect of Lord of the Endtimes

This may arguably be the most "metal" painting I´ve ever done...

THE OLD GODS ARE COMING

The deadline for my upcoming book Nordiska Gudar (Norse Gods) is closing in fast and - in just a few weeks it´ll be off to the printers. It should be out in stores in late juli/early august. A few days ago the test cover arrived from the printers. We might change a few things for the final product but this is more or less what it´s going to look like. Not too shabby methinks.

I published an obviously Mignola-inspired painting from the book  on my facebookpage recently, depicting Njord the god of the sea. Mike himself gave me thumbs up it so that´s gotta count for something...

AN APPLE A DAY

Some lineart for an illustration depicting the goddess Idun. I obviously opted for a very jugend/art noveau inspired style for this one.

HAMMERTIME

Time for yet another preview from "Norse Gods / Nordiska Gudar". Apparently some brawny, bearded fellow wields this...

LET´S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD

Hello and welcome to my new blog.

Like the ABOUT text says - here I´ll (try to) post illustrations, events and the odd sketch.

For starters how about some images from my upcoming book Nordiska Gudar / Norse Gods:
