Cycle gicleé
this panoramic print is from an ink drawing that was laid on canvas and tinted with thin oil glazes. it chronicles the beautiful life cycle of the characters in my universe, right from when they sprout out of a bud, through till when they are eaten and shit out, and finally to where their spirits inhabit the buds from which they sprout. interestingly, this piece will link up with itself horizontally so that they can be laid end to end, continuing the life cycle FOREVER. (try it with photohop- there’s just one dumb part that i didn’t colour right!)

Flock of Girlies gicleé
Flock of Girlies is one of the largest, most ambitious paintings i’ve ever made. the original was 8′ wide if i remember correctly. and i couldn’t be more happy with the amazing colour of this fine art gicleé print. it’s pretty mind-boggling!

MASTODON gig poster
Mastodon is one of my favourite bands, and Brann Dailor one of my favourite drummers. so back in 2010 i became OBSESSED with the idea of doing a gig poster for them. especially when i noticed they were having a show in Austin (a town i was jonesing to visit) on my BIRTHDAY! my pal Tara McPherson helped me get in touch with the band’s management and the poster became a reality. super-cool. (by the way, i’ve since had the great honour of meeting the band TWICE, and have interviewed Brann as part of my upcoming -but at the moment still top secret- series of comicstrip interviews with great drummers.)

The Horrifying Box Cutter Incident
it’s not often there’s this much drama and carnage at the DaveGraphics International head office! let’s just say, next time you need to build a box for the biggest poster you’ve ever produced* for a Swede living in SanFrancisco, take greater-than-usual care!
* it’s a 6″ tall, bus-shelter-sized poster from the Holland Animation Festival that i did several years ago. i just unearthed a few- i’ll offer them eventually in the soon-to-grow Prints section
