Owen & Lloyd Comic Strip for Monday, Sept 2

Thanks to popular demand (okay, one person asked) I will publish all of my old comic strips from the pages of Dungeon Magazine and Hemmabio. The first one, below is from 2004 and was my first foray into comics. The strip evolved (sort of) and later settled into a weird mashup of pop-culture, home [...]

Världens roligaste recension av De dödas rike

Ibland hittar man såna här godbitar.

Här kommer några smakprov:

De flesta namngivna (goda) karaktärer i boken dör. Även Lins vänner som medverkat i flera böcker slaktas på ett plågsamt sätt av demoner (oavsett om de är söta talande djur). Ibland behöver Lin också därefter “döda” dem en gång till när deras [...]

The Untamed gets picked up by Starz to be Animated TV Series

So, here’s a bit of news. Even though they failed to mention me and (Eureka) we are finally rolling with Starz Entertainment/Film Roman who picked up our book The Untamed (first issue available for free on all good platforms).

The company, best known for its work-for-hire animation on “The Simpsons,” has [...]

How to Get Published in Sweden

I’m not going to lie to you. The change of headline on this series of blog posts is a bit misleading but not entirely untrue.

My two new books, Domovoi (finished) and The Portent: Ashes (working on) are still not available in Swedish. The Portent especially so since it isn’t finished.

But since the last [...]

Cintiq Companion – Your Cintiq to Go!

Finally, the digital drawing tablet all us creative professionals have been waiting for.
Wacom have shoved their input technology onto a slew of smartphones recently and the obvious next step would be to make their own digital drawing tablets completely mobile. I reviewed the 13 inch Cintiq earlier this year, asking for a wireless [...]

Manga Studio 5EX All You Need to Know Review

This is a review for those already familiar with Manga Studio 4 and 4EX in particular. Is it worth upgrading to 5EX if you already have 4EX?

In short, yes.

Manga Studio 5EX does feel like an entirely new program. The previous version was already the go to program for comic book artists and many [...]

The Death of my Cintiq 24HD

My best friend in the world, my Wacom Cintiq 24HD, the screen I’ve illustrated numerous book covers on and thousands of comic book pages died last saturday. So big and heavy it feels like a family member, so delicate that when we moved from Stockholm I refused to even let the moving guys touch it. [...]

How Not to Get Published in Sweden: Part II

Spurred on by internet response I tried a few more publishers to get Domovoi published in Swedish. Most of them didn’t even reply. In the meantime my US publisher (that I won’t name just yet but you can probably figure it out) decided to publish my next graphic novel based on a back-of-the-envelope pitch. From [...]

The Portent: Ashes Script Done

Ahead of the actual deadline the script for The Portent: Ashes is more or less complete and approved. I will add stuff to it as I start thumbing – dialogue especially is something I like to work on while sketching. In the meantime, here’s a quick sketch from this last weekend when I was at [...]
