Artsy fartsy news!

As usual, sorry for not updating more, but I can assure you that not much is going on these days. I think I'm generally less happy than I've been in years, but let's not dwell on that! Let's go to the news, because they're the good kind!

First of all, I got a mail from the Kemi-people (that's the all Scandinavian comic contest I entered a while back), saying that I got 4.th place!
I didn't even know they had a 4.th XD But I'm really happy!
It doesn, unfortunately mean, that I won't be able to post "Skinnene Synger" (The Tracks are singing ?:P) for you here, which is really a shame, 'cause it's probobly one of the best comics I ever have and ever will make, at least theme-and story vice.

But! it does mean that it will be printed in something called the Kemi competition anthology, and also I will receive some tax free mooneys (゜▽、゜)
Maybe it'll be translated into english, I don't know. One of the criteria was that the series be in a Nordig language, but the price ceremony or whatever is in Finland.
Too bad it would cost me most of my prize money to go, I've never been to Finland before.

Second, this:

No news really, just a drawing I finished yeasterday that I was quite happy with. Since it's kind of small for my exhibition in May (A4), I think I'll bring it to Desu-con (anime convention) this year, if we do realize our plans of having a stand there this year. We meaning Cat and I.

Third, this:

Also just a drawing I finished that I wanted to show off. God I love pencils! Why did I kind of forget how fabulous pencils are, all by themselves!?
This picture is A3, and I am planning to bring to the exhibition, though I'm not sure the general art people in my part of the country are into this kind of thing.
I've been hung up on twisted angels, right. Still am ^^ And I tried to incorporate it with visual kei, but I realized it's kind of hard, since I'm not much into the classic visual kei anymore. I was really happy with it anyway though.

Last post on the agenda today, and this is something you might actually be interested in :p
I finally got around to making a blog for Like Totally Teenage Lovers!

The plan was to make it in Comicpress, but the fact is that I'm an idiot when it comes to computers, and even following the tutorials I couldn't make it happen, so until I have the time to sit down and have friend teach me the knacks, it will be another blogspot blog:

Followers and comments are very much apreciated! Also, tell all your friends, ofcourse :p
I also changed the posting date to Tuesday, by the way. That's the same day that I update the original(Norwegian) comic, so it'll be a bit more routine...ish.

So! See ya! Got tons to do right now^o^/

Send me your story!

I've been drawing this over the last two days. It's A3, so it took quite some time! It's going to be a piece of an even larger collage.
When people see things like this the first thing they mention is usually the hair.
If you havn't noticed I have a lot of fun with drawing hair, especially cursly hair. The thing about this kind of drawing is that it's not really hard, it just takes a lot of time. I usually come away surprised when I'm finished, because it looks really cool, and I didn't really sweat that much^^

Two other things!
Bobla, which is a collection by the Oslo comicers group I'm in, is now out in stores! I hope lots of people will buy it!
It is a collection of independent 1 to 10 pages stories, all made by amature artists, and it's really good!I need to start paying more attention to the other comicers around me!

Anyway, for the next issue, they urge us to do collaborations. In other words, the story and the drawings will be done by different people. I've never done this before, and I'm not really sure I'm going to have the time to submit anything, but I want to try.
So, I'm asking you to send me your story!

If you have something that you feel would make a good 1 to 10 pages comic, send it to me. I won't laugh at you or critisize you, unless I'm interested, then I might send suggestions and questions. If I decide to draw your story your name will, ofcourse be on the credits, and if you're not a Norwegian speaker I will also do an English version and post it here^^
