I was commissioned by my friend Adler to draw four Game of Thrones characters (with some alteration to fit his AU fanfic). Tyrion’s file was corrupted by some interaction between ProCreate and Photoshop, and I quite liked it, so you get psychedelic Tyrion as a bonus!

In order: Jon Snow, Bronn, Sandor Clegane/The Hound, Tyrion Lannister, tyRi0NN LaNn157eRr

Me and @uzlolzu​ made our own ORIGINAL CLOSED SPEICES (do not steal). They are called Sirrklis (one sirrkli, two sirrkles, three or more sirrklis) and here are the numbered and signed original nineteen. ADOPT THEM! Get original art sent to your mailbox - break the 4th wall! Only here can you get super original round content! Be there - or be square!

$5 for a lonely sirrkli! $7 for the duos! (Look closely - #3, Rulli & Bolli, is a unique COLLAB!)

Add $1 for shipping YOUR ORIGINAL SIRRKLI to you in Sweden, $5 for international!

Email stressboll@gmail.com or tumblr msg me to adopt and get payment info!

And remember! Closed! Do not steal! NO FAN CHARACTERS ALLOWED.

The following picture is a serving suggestion. Frames and mats not included in list price.

Okay but seriously.

Me and @uzlolzu​ grew up on Deviantart, and late last night we thought about different dA trends through the ages, and our pet peeves with some of them. And then we made some cute commentary and splashed paint all over the living room, making quality original content. You’ll probably get the most out of these if you know Swedish but I hope they’re at least cute to the rest of you too!

I’ve done a lot of artsy things lately but I haven’t put them together in postable form, so for the time being, here is a small sketchy thing I drew as a bribe. Zinna belongs to my friend Petstudent [x], and Radhi is mine. She used to be his boss, now they’re slowly finding their way to a more equal relationship, this time while discussing religion. It’s not without its challenges.

The world will probably have to end before they admit they’re actually friends. Luckily, the world IS currently ending so it might actually happen??

Now that it’s April 2nd in my time zone, I’ll upload the sketch I made for Rävsvans’ April Fools joke this year: [link]

Since Rävsvans has publicly stated that Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire represents pretty much what Järn is not about, it was fun to announce it as the next setting book.

(The name of the first book is ‘the struggle for the Iron Throne’ in Swedish. Järn means Iron. The author is from Gothenburg, a city so famous for its pun-based humour, that pun-based humour in the south of Sweden is colloquially known simply as ‘Gothenburg humour’. Now you know.)

I made these four for a Järn-related thing, and then I coloured them in mostly for my own amusement. It was fun!

These are people who have contributed to Järn in different ways. Dan Algstrand made the logos, Krister Sundelin wrote the game (and several other games) and did the layout, I contributed with some drawings and Ronja Melin/miss @uzlolzu drew the book covers and many of the illustrations. She has never been seen at a convention without her Ubisoft DEVELOPER-hoodie.

More information about the game Järn can be found here: [x]!

I made some midori-style notebooks yesterday while visiting with my friend miss @vidrig​ (who helped with some cutting and stitching too<3) in her home/workshop. It was fun and easy, but my hands looked pretty much like they always do.

Hand-tooled and dyed leather, elastic cord, plus some bits of old couch leather for the insides.

Edited to add: I found a store with some fauxdoris of the kind that inspired this project! It’s Chick Sparrow (x) and they have beautiful stuff. If you want to buy one, go there.

Happy Valentine’s...?

This is a spiritual successor to something i painted seven years ago(this:[x]) , that I wanted to paint in photoshop or in oils, so I made a smaller painting in watercolours first. It was fun!
