Argh...

Waking up early...

Due to the fact that Teemu had an early morning meeting, and that Anders (my brother) was telling me how he wakes up at five in the morning and starts drawing, I ended up getting up at a time that's early for me... It was 6:30... Here's my morning project: I sketched it yesterday, and colored it today. I imagine they're trying to cross a very busy road.


Not sure if I like this morning thing.. It's 10:04 and I'm starving.

Love in the Mountains!

This is the latest film we created for the Helsinki Film Festival called Love and Anarchy. I'm proud of the work, and most importantly of the whole crew at the Boutique. Viljami from the Falconauts was great fun to work with :)

The mink...

Kopparbergs Tropical Cider

I'm so happy to have gotten to work on this, and happy to finally get try out new techniques. It seems the hardest thing is to convince people of the viability of something that only exists in your head. However sometimes, other people are like yeah, that could work. And then you are like yay! And then everyone has a little dance party and boogies down. Thats what happened here.

Let the Right one in.

"Let the right one in" Is hands down the best horror movie I've ever seen, when it comes to atmosphere, dialogue, cinematography, and acting. Possibly even the best movie. I feel I need to put it somewhere even higher than horror, it transcends the genre and becomes more of a social drama.

I felt I had to put this in my blog, so people don't think I'm just a twilight fan. To put it simply, Twilight is porn for ladies, and "Let the right one in" is serious cinema. If you disagree that Twilight is porn, I would have to say you are a little in denial. The deeply romantic nature of twilight is sexual, and romanticism is an integral part to female sexuality. Especially slightly masochistic romance, such as the nature of the relationship between the two characters. Then add on top of that a cast of eye candy, and there you have it. The best selling female porn in the world. All I can say, is more of this type of porn please.

Let the right one in, on the other hand is a wonderful personal experience. It's the sort of piece that makes you speechless. I have no need to dissect it, because to do that would be an injustice to anyone who haven't seen it.

Having said this, I feel much much better.

Sketchiss!
