Conspiracy theories, tattoos & sandwiches

Wow, this week went by fast...
We sold our appartment and finally everything is beginning to fall into place.
All we need now, is to pack all our stuff into boxes... And we're off to Stockholm :-)

These past days, i've been reading alot about different conspiracy theories... And today i watched the documentary called "Sirius - the movie" and it had some really interesting stuff about goverment cover-up's and UFO's...
I also read some stuff about the recent Boston Bombers and i must say that theres a couple of things that i find strange... Though it's not enough to get me thinking about a major conspiracy... Yet ;-)
I love to watch/read about these things, but after a while i usually start going nuts instead haha.
The reality is that no matter how much you think you know or how much you belive in this or that, you'll NEVER get the truth...

So instead im gonna think about that epic turkey sandwich i had for lunch.... It had SO much meat in it.... I had a complete Homer moment, going "mmmmaaarrrhhhh" as i ate it :D

Oh yeah... I did a couple of fun tattoos yesterday...
The first one was a customized version of Disneys Esmeralde ( from the Hunchback of Notre Dame) and the other was this black & grey old school design...

Im gonna go play Skyrim now.... Cheeers :-)

Skæg the walrus!

The other day, i had to cancel one of my buddies due to my crazy back pains ... i moved his appointment for today and then we had a funny sunday session :)

The design is from this great children's book series, called "Rasmus Klump" and the character used for the tattoo is named "Skæg" and he is a walrus sailor haha...



A sunny sunday with tattoos, Rasmus Klump, some Rock N Roll and alot of coffee... gotta love it :)

By the way... if you like balls to the walls, ass-kicking Rock N Roll... i would advise you to check out my friends band "L.A. Collection".... it's AWESOME!!!!

The Little Mermaid & Superman

Wow, this past week has been CRAZY...
My wife and I, put our apartment for sale last monday, and the amount of phone calls, email's and text's i've been getting has been insane... but we found a buyer and now we're almost ready for Stockholm.

I also messed up my back again, so i've been on these crazy painkillers for a few days...  they're pretty strong, but at least they are helping... im almost back in shape again :)

With all this stuff going on this week, it's been hard to find time and energy for a whole lot of things...

My biggest highlight this week, was seeing the new trailer for the "Man Of Steel" movie...
I gotta say... this movie looks absolutely amazing!!!!
Finally a Superman movie with a bit of edge...
I can't wait to see it!
Check out the trailer here:

Also today i got to do a cool tattoo....
I drew this design a while back and it was supposed to be used for a t-shirt design... but that project got delayed again and again.... and I just never got around to do it.
so one of my customers loved the design and wanted it as a tattoo .... and that was just awesome for me :)
It's my take on "The Little Mermaid" statue from Copenhagen.


Next week I've got some cool projects im gonna start, so stay tuned :)

Superman & Reptilians

I've been reading these new Superman comics from DC, called "Superman Earth One"...
Usually im not a big fan of Superman, he's way too nice... too much of a boy scout :D
But this new series is REALLY good...
Basically, they've gone back to the start of the saga, so new readers don't need to go back and read the first comics ever made abut Superman.
You get the entire background story, and then they put more focus on Clark Kent's teenage years.
The writers have stayed true to the original story, but have put their own spin on it... and it makes an awesome comic book.
Last but not least... the artwork is stunning...


Now it's gonna be great REALLY to watch the "Man of Steel" movie this summer :)

Today i also got to tattoo one of my Reptilian designs... it was really fun and im hoping that i'll get to make more of them :)

Hellboy & carrotcake!

Im a huge fan of comic books... Especially Spawn.
I love the Greg Capullo era, his artwork is some of my all time favorite...
I was stoked when i found out the other day, that he had started drawing for DC Comics, on a new Batman series called "the city of owls"... Check it out, it's awesome!!!

Anyway... Being a comic book fan, I was stoked to get started on a Hellboy sleeve.

The art of Mike Mignola is a bit out of my element since its SO stylistic...
But i was up for the task, and had a great time working on this project... And i can't wait to continue it!

To top of a great day, my wife surprised me with a home baked carrot cake, all for me!!! :-)

Have a great weekend, gotta go eat some cake now!

Four eyed mutant gorilla and Justin bieber...

Today i had a great customer...
We had been talking about some random ideas for his entire chest/stomach, and ended up going for at giant mutant gorilla head :D
The guy was awesome... He didnt make a single noise through the entire session... I was really impressed.

I also got the chance to continue on my little flash project...
Yeah, i knew there was something rottem about Justin Bieber ;-)

Oblivion

I went to the theater tonight, to see the new Tom Cruise sci-fi movie, Oblivion.

I didnt know what to expect, since im not a huge Tom Cruise fan...
But the movie is made by the same people who was behind "Tron Legacy"... A movie i absolutely loved.
So with that in mind, i was sure to see some awesome scenography and some cool designs.

The movie was "ok"...
I felt the story was a bit weak, and it took some time before it really took off.

But as i hoped for, the visuals was stunning and the soundtrack was really cool...

All in all, not a bad movie... But not a masterpiece either.


Oh yeah... I almost forgot...

I had a bit of time today, to make another "reptilian" sketch... More to come :-)

Reptilian shapeshifters....

I've been tripping about this awesome conspiracy theory going on, that these lizard shapeshifting creatures are living among us... According to the "experts", these beings are running the world, shapeshifting into different high powered world leaders and so on...

Theres a ton of "proof" online... Just try to type in "reptilian shapeshifter" on youtube... It's great!!!

Well... Lizard people or not... Today i thought it would make for a great flash sheet... So i found a little time between customers, and made the first design...

I have some great ideas for the other designs, so stay tuned!!! :-)
