Money run... I'm posting this update to let you all know that i'm currently taking commissions for digitally painted portraits. A simple and clean piece, just the face/head, is 40$. I'll do bigger stuff as well, but at an adjusted rate. If you, or an...

... Since I last posted a journal entry. The passed year has been filled with all the new experiences that comes with becoming a parent, and I haven't had as much time or energy to pour into my paintings as I would have liked to. Anyhow, I'm now officially on parental leave, which seem to be even more time-consuming. I'm gonna try to discipline myself and find time to paint whenever I can. I don't know how many of my watchers read these journals, but I'd like to know if any of you would like me to maybe update these more often and write about my process and thoughts in general? I'm also wondering if any of you are following me on instagram/f

I'm a daddy!

On the 10th of january 2014, I became the proud father of a boy. His name is Charlie, a future nuisance and referencemodel for my paintings.Might produce less art for a while, but I'll be back in full swing eventually. I can't help but to brag and show him off, so here is a link to a photo of him all fresh out of the oven: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4vqNGhJmWY0/UtagHLw5dRI/AAAAAAAACNs/8K9o-Ow9MKg/s1600/1011181_586610498075560_1206170020_n.jpg

Just wanted to pop by and let you know you're one of the most unique artists I've ever seen and your gallery is top notch. I'm not an art expert so I can't make any educated comments on method, or use of color, or any of that jazz. What I can say is that your art stands apart and it's fantastic. I had one of your prints hanging in my living room for years and every time I looked at it, it was like side-stepping reality into a tiny dream.

Thank you very much. That means alot to me. You don't need to undertsand art in order to apreciate it. In fact, i feel like the best art is the one that doesn't need any explanation, but that has an immediate emotional impact.

What print did you have and where did you buy it?

It was "Sheets." I got it through the deviantart BuyAPrint option. Honestly, if I could I would have gotten more. I remember being really interested in "Home" and "Wild Playground" as well.

Ah, that one. It’s a dark one, but it is just that with the light and what’s hidden in the shadows that makes for a cool dynamic. It seems like they have removed the function of selling prints on deviant art, or it’s reserved for core-members maybe. But if ever you were really interested in getting a print then just let me know and i’d look into it and see if we could work something out.😊

Wow… Thank you very much. That means alot to me. You don’t need to ”understand” art in order to appreciate it. My goal has always been to create art that makes an impact on some sort of emotional level, rather than an intellectual level. So to hear you say that you are sort of ”feeling” my art is the best compliment you could give me.

What print did you have and from where did you get it?

How do I go about purchasing The Beekeeper

amazing works!)
