I am Swedish, in my thirties and I have a degree quite unrelated to creative expression (although not to creative thinking). Am I sad about that? Not really. I have stories to tell, to draw and to write. I have taken the necessary precautions so I won’t have to worry about food and shelter while I do it. Sometimes I wonder if I have missed out on years and years of studying art, practising and networking. Mostly, if I am not having a really bad day, I come to the conclusion that I by chosing the path I am now on have gotten possibilities to explore parts of society and life that I hadn’t been able to experience, had I set out for art from the beginning. Mostly, I am too busy with working, reading, growing plants and drawing to bother too much with the angst. Thankfully.

Awesome artwork! And it’s never to late to start in the arts.
My very first comment! Thank you and welcome!
Wow!
Been waiting eagerly for you to “crawl out of the closet” and tell us the address for this awesome blog/inkingwebpage and I’m very impressed (and a bit envious.. my “lecture scribblings” only gets as advanced as 5-pointed stars.. ) It will be interesting to follow this blog and hopefully learn more about all those mysterious pens and techniques I now realize exists.. 🙂

I have unfortunately lost the excellent series of heavily pregnant monsters in ballerina skirts dancing all over the notes of a Very Important Lecture. A pity. I might find it. Keep an eye open. And, see you around!
I’d love to see a creative “marriage” between you and Neil Gaiman. That would be AWESOME!
Keep looking and I believe you will get your wish. It will be painfully and obviously one-sided though 😉
I have a series of drawings inspired by various books planned. Besides, M recently lent me the complete Sandman to read through again. If that doesn’t inspire me I don’t know what will. I wish I could find the drawing of Death I made when I was 16 yo… If I do, I promise to post it to the blog.
Beautiful work. Found this place from your signature at FPN.

Thank you! I hope to post more on FPN in 2012. Oh, and I love your worms. I draw too few worms myself, I have a soft spot for flatworms. Eh. 🙂
you express my feelings exactly 🙂 keep on drawing and doodling…it’s wonderful
Thank you! Had a look at your work as well, I have to agree!
I found you by browsing images of New Crobuzon. I have enjoyed both your craft and the oddity of your images. I’ll be back. Like you, I think, I did not primarily train as an artist but am finding my way there.
I like that you have read the book and like the image, thank you for your nice comments. I think it is important to not give up on art, despite being not professionally trained or doing it for a living.
