Panda Girl

This is what happen when i start, i can't stop.
Christina, my red hair crazy rock friend, has been asking for a Panda girl, and after the golden boy my hands couldn't rest, so i thought what the hell...
here it goes Christina your Panda Girl!!

Peace out there!!

Golden Boy

It's been over a month since i have had time to sit down and create some blog material. This graphic Design education is killing me, so tonight i decided to put boring school projekt aside (it is actually not that boring) and draw something WITHOUT thinking about, wich method or theory i am actually using. A illustration without report or a design manual, illustrating simply for the fun of it. So i grab my Wacom pen and i started sketching something, and after three and a half hours of pure fun i am done. I really hope you guys enjoy it, i definitely did. And now i better go to sleep, cause tomorrow i ha to get up early and enjoy my Typography class :DPeace!

THE Wall

So my friends I am finally done with the bicpen drawings to my wall. It toke sometime cause I have been working on a school project, and that has taken some of my time.

But what matter is that I am done, and the drawings are now hanging, I like the way I all came out, what do you think?

Bic pen action again :)

So... yesterday i was at my friends house and they need a big poster for their wall, so i decided to make a owl for them. The thing is i get carried away and made a stag to, an decided that i want to fill my wall with little hand draws. So the owl is going to be big size at Jannie's place and original at mines, by the owls side it will be the stag, and i am planing on having some skulls,  a crow, a tree, a mad hatter maybe a fox. But if you guys have some ideas let me know.

 Peace!!

Sketching Fenrir!

A couple of days ago a friend asked me if i could sketch a tattoo design for him. "Of course!" I said, "And what would that be?"
 "A Fenrir." he told me, i have to be honest i had no idea what a Fenrir was, the only Fenrir i knew was Fenrir Greyback, a werwolf character from the Harry Potter series. Well as it is, i was not that far away from the truth, a Fenrir is a Wolf.
 

From the Norse mithology, Fenrir is a big bad wolf, "the monster of the river Ván",due to the gods' knowledge of prophecies foretelling great trouble from Fenrir and his rapid growth, the gods bound him, and as a result Fenrir bit off the right hand of the god Tyr.

How could i not know about this fantastic creature?? Thanks to my friend Palle i now am a fan of Fenrir, and so i made two sketches of the beast, one more realistic and one more cartoonish, now i just hope that Palle gets one of them as a inked sketch :)

Sketching with a Bic Pen!

Hey Yo!!
A quick sunday post, to share with you the last sketches i have been up to.
This ones all made on paper and with a Bic Pen, i kind of discovered again the passion of drawing on a paper sheet with a Bic pen :)
 Some of them are just sketches with no story behind them, but the Disney ones where inspired in a Tattoo sketch that i saw on Instagram, from the amazing artist InkZombieTattoo, the sketch was a Mickey Mouse kind of scary sketch, I loved the idea and went for it, with the hope i could get close to his quality. InkZombieTattoo is a better artist, and he gets better with each piece he does, so my hopes to get up to his level is just a fools hope! But anyways i want to thank him for the inspiration :D
 I hope you all are having a blast out there!

Sketching a Story... or History??

Once upon a time, a city.
A city with high buildings painted in many different colours, a city with a tree that was as high as the skyscrapers. In that city there were no cars, everyone arrived or left by air balloon, the sky was always blue, even when it snowed or rained, and the night never came. 
 On the top of the tree lived a whole village of small people, they never came down, they toke care of the tree,  the tree gave the Skyscraper People air, and the Skyscraper People gave the little people food. This was a city in harmonie.
 One day a strange fat man arrived by balloon. He had a high hat, a big moustache and with him e brought two really big leather cases. He called upon the people of the city and told them a sweet story about the capitalist world where he came from, a world where everyone was rich and living the dream, and that he wanted to bring this world to them. Then he told them to open the two leather cases, and inside them was paper - many little pieces of paper that the fat man called money. "With enough of this you can get whatever you want!" he said. But the Skyscraper people and the Little people didn't understand and told him that they were not interested, but that he was welcome to stay as long as he wished, that he could eat their food and refresh himself under the big tree, and then they left. And so did the fat man.

Not many days had passed, when the little people saw in the sky something that was not an air balloon. Hundreds of machines came by air and ground, making the city tremble. On the top of one of those machines was the fat man. He said that he knew about the weapons hidden under the big tree, and that he would not allow terrorism in the world. So he took the Skyscraper People that opposed his as his slaves and with his machines he felled the big tree and killed the little people. Then right away he started digging. Deep he went but no weapons were found. He kept digging for days and then something happened, a jitter of black thick liquid flew into the sky. The fat man and the capitalists all started laughing and for the first time night fell over the city.

Behind the masks!!

Why do people hide behind masks? Why do StreetArtists hide behind masks??
 When i was a kid, there where two kind of people that used to hide behind masks, criminals and superheroes. Well street artists ain't no superhero, but are they criminals??
I keep seeing graffiti everywhere saying that "Graffiti is Art, not Crime" well i could not agree more, but then let me tell you something, artists dont hide behind masks, hoodies and scarfs. No one loves street art more than i do, but i don't see the point on hiding, i dont see the point on hiding behind a tag or a mask. And now all of you graffiti lovers will point the finger and say, "that is what graffiti is about, it has always been like that. They think we are criminals and therefore we need to hide." You know what? You might just be right, but i also see it like this: "You hide and so they think you are criminals." Vendettas masks will never change the world, that is just a bunch of kids playing revolution, the real revolutionaries are the ones that show their faces and stand by what they believe, no shame, no fear... 

I you do it cause you think you look cool, then let me break it to you, there is only one and only one that can wear a mask and look cool at the same time, his name is Vader.

More Art!

I know the world needs a lot of things.
More Love, less War. 
More Green, less Pollution.
More Humanity, less Capitalism.
More Respect, less Arrogance.
More Forests, less Cities.
More Bikes, less Cars.
More Farms, less Industry.
More Confidence, less Religion.
More Zombie Movies, less Soap Operas.
More Real People, less Reality Shows.
More Music, less Politicians.
And so on... But the world also needs MORE ART!

Peace!  

Sketching Funcenter!

For some months now i have been working on Funcenter's new location.
 Funcenter is the perfect place to have a birthday party, a bachelor party, a Firm Party... well you get the idea. With all kind of funny and crazy activities like zebra riding, sumo wrestling, human football, water balls and much more, Funcenter is a place filled with smiles and good humor and i am really happy for geting the chance to make this place even more funny and happy with all kind of characters and a lot of colors. soon the Paintball Arena is going o open to public, and that is what we are working on right now, a lot of montana gold and 94 and we are trashing every little corner that we can get our hands on :D 
Here are some of the already finished sketches on walls and other spots, soon i will come with the rest.
 Have fun!! 

Solitude!

What are you afraid of?
Tell me are you afraid of not succeeding with your career?
Are you afraid of not making money enough? Not getting the house you dream of? The car? The society's acknowledgment  of you being successful, a good citizen? 
 You know what i am afraid of? 
To end alone!!
Solitude is my biggest fear...
 Do you remember that rubber duck that you once loved, but that you forgot on the beach one day and never saw again?? That is what i am afraid of, of becoming the rubber duck! I don't want to focus on the wrong things, i don't want to focus on money, success and all the rest, i want to to focus on being happy with what i got, with myself as i am and not a society wants me to be, but is not easy!
 I want to keep the people i love close to me, and in that i am failing already, i've got them all spread around the world, making the objective of being with everyone impossible. But i am doing my best to keep them close, they are the most important, the antidote to my fear, friends and family are all. In the end we all come to this conclusion. In the end we all come to the hard truth that money, car, house, career... they are all empty concepts that we invented, the are not essential, but love is.  
I don't want to wake up one day, old and lonely!  I want to have people laughing around me all the time, i want to share the little i have with them, and die with no regrets, probably poor and unknown, but happy!!

You and Your Tattoos!

You are looking at me and my Tattoos, and a lot of things are going through your brain. "Dangerous, Psycho, Criminal, Bad, Ugly, Should be locked away..." Relax mate it's just ink!
 Seriously i am getting pretty tired of your "Pointing Finger", why dont you take a look instead to the skinny anoretic bitch, on Prozac since she was 16, cause that's the only way she can keep herself together, she is fucked up in the head!! Or take a look at the guys that you so respectfully call "Sir" and make little bows to. The ones in black suits making millions on children work, animal abuse and modern slavery, they are the real Criminals. Take a look at the man and women that you choose to sit on the power, look at them preaching for peace but calling for war, making enemies so that they have someone to sell their weapons to, they are really Dangerous. Look at the rich lady beside you wearing real fur, in a century where we are able to produce clothing as warm and good looking with no need to kill any animal, she is so Ugly! Look at you, scared and alarmed because the media washed your brain to make you react like that if you see someone that does not fit in their little box, you should be Locked Away!
 You see, i dont believe this shit about "Being born this way", no way... people change, and that is a lot of things that make people change  for the good and the bad, but Ink ain't one of them!


Ps: Chicks with Tattoos are Hot!!

Josh and "The Bride"

The past year i have been thinking a lot about what my next tattoo should be. I have been sketching here and there, all kind of different motives, but one thing i was sure, it had to be Burton inspired. 
 So some months ago i got some burton elements on a USB. and gave them to Josh, i almost didn't have to explain to him what i wanted, he must have some kind of "Mind Reading Powers" or something like that, cause he knew exactly what i was looking for in this Tattoo.
 A lot of people asked me this question and a lot of you are going to ask yourself the same "Why didn't i draw it myself.?" First of all i normally get tired of my own drawings after a while, and a tattoo lasts longer than that :) and second i wanted Joshua to draw it, my idea... but his piece!


Joshua Bojer Mikkelsen is a young artist, but in my eyes already showing a immense talent and getting ready for kicking some ass on the "Ink Art World". It is almost impossible to understand how can someone tattoo like this only after 3 short years of "Ink Career", great lines, amazing understanding of color use, perfect for Cartoon/Comic Tattoo lovers like myself. And talent is not the only thing Josh is filled with, in the many and painful hours we spend together, we had like the most crazy, stupid, but also most deep conversations, nothing better to forget the painful needle than a good "Pocket Philosophy Discussion" :)


I was going to say that i hope to see a lot of his work in the future, but i am going to rephrase myself, "I know i am going to see a lot of Josh work in the future, hopefully some of it on me. This kid is going for the top i know it, and i am happy to have a "Joshua Mikkelsen's Oeuvre d'Art " on my arm, it's like having a Picasso before Picasso was Picasso. ;)
To him i would like to give my thanks for the amazing tattoo, and the many cozy hours of "painful conversation", and to you i want to show a pic of this work of art, and to tell you "GET SOME INK".
PEACE!!


Oh by the way you can find Josh at Black Cat Ink in Aalborg, and soon in his own webpage Inkzombie.dk

Metallica!

We are almost there! 
 The day after tomorrow, it is going to happen. We are going to step in a time machine and travel back in time, or at least some of us are. Me and my good friends, Ronni, Jesper and Eduardo are going to Metallica concert, so it is time to take that to small old black grayish t-shirt out of the closet, and play a 20 years old metal fan again.  Jeez we are getting old!! But Metallica guys are getting even older, i just saw a picture of Lars in Rock in Rio and i swear he looks like Phil Collins :D The only thing  that does not get old is their music, it still's good as it was back in the days, i am sure i am going to see Metallica fans much older than me, and other much younger, that is the beauty of music, or real music at least, never gets old, never dies. 
 I wonder if in 20 years from now people will still listen to Bieber?... ok back to the topic and the real music, i just wanted to share this anxiety and happiness with you guys. I know that are many out there that do not like metal, i know that are many as well that like metal and think that Metallica is not real metal anymore, well i am going to tell you again, stop labeling everything. When i was a kid i thought that only heavy metal was music, today i listen as much to hip hop, rock, pop, dub, electronic ... and the list goes on and on... there is nothing like the "only music", that is only good and bad music (and Bieber music :/ ), thats it!
 And wether you want it or not Metallica is good music.


I hope you all are doing well, i am going to party hard and head-bang so much that probably 2 day after the concert i still will not be able to move my neck, see you around!

 And by the way, this illustration was totally inspired in a amazing artist Denis Zilber, i hope one day i got to be as good as he is!! 

Peace!!

Sketching Jason!

It is not Friday, not even the 13th, but Jason is coming home anyways!
 Ana a friend of mine, suggested to me that i made a "Jason illustration", maybe something like: "The man behind the mask" I found the idea really interesting and started to work on it right away, the problem was that i could not see the man behind the mask.
 I don't think that it is a man behind the mask. Jason is the mask. Or the mask is Jason? I think that sometimes the mask is the real you. But then is that a mask? 
OMG i better stop with this cheap philosophy and show you the sketch i made.


Jason is coming home, on a Sunday :D


Peace!

Tattoo for a Boy!

I was going to call this blog entry "A sketch on a Boy", but it would be wrong cause i am actually not a tattoo artist so i don't  sketch on people, at least for now :)
 Mathias Lost his mother at a young age, and he his been thinking about showing his love and how much he misses her, through art, art on his body. Some people would call this a cliché, but it is not. Some people, just like me love tattoos just for what the are, art on the skin, but some need that art to be special and have a bigger meaning, i think it is cool to show your feelings on a tattoo, something that is permanent, unless that it is the name of your boyfriend or girlfriend, that i would advise you not to. Remember Tattoos last forever, Love don't!  


 But back to the sketch, well Mathias is now old enough and save some "dollars" to get his first ink, and he asked me if i wanted to draw it for him. Of course i said yes, not just for the fun of it, but to make such a meaningful sketch and know that someone is actually ready to wear it everyday for the rest of hid life, it is a big deal. So we met over a coffee and a portion "Nachos" and he explain what he was thinking for the tattoo design, and so i went home and started sketching it, i am done now, and sent it to him, i really hope he likes it!
 I am going to post here some stages of the process, the final one is the one in black and white, but i could not let it go and colored it just for fun. 


I really hope that you enjoy it as much i do, Peace!!

Some Sketches laying around!

Hey There!
These are some sketches i had "laying" around for a while now, the first one is the imaginary me. If i could i would have long hair, but with my 32 years, i am almost as bold as an egg, i also would have long beard like a Viking, but my girlfriend don't see it as charming as i do, i would smoke big cigars like Hell Boy, but i stopped smoking, and the goggles... well i could wear them in some Anime convention :D 




The second and third sketches are something that i made for the "Comissão de Festasde Nossa
 Senhora das Pazes" so they could make some t-
shirts for the Ficalho Festivities!
The fourth and final one is not a sketch but a
graphic job, also for "Comissão de Festas de
Nossa Senhora das Pazes", a poster to a event
that just happened last weekend, but cause it
was kind of secret i had to wait for them to 
come out with the poster before i could show it
to you, but now the Festivities are over so here it is

Peace My friends!!

Sketching scary Stuff!!

Hey there!!
Jus a sketch of some skulls, like the day after the Armageddon or something, and a illustration of a Vamp Girl. Some would call it scary stuff i personally think that the vampire is kind of sexy, and secretly i wish she would bite me!! 
 Take care out there!! 

Sketches on 2 Canvas!!

I hope you guys had a good Easter! Me, i was sketching around, a big painting 2m x 1m and a little one 30cm x 80cm. The big one i have been thinking about it for a while and it came out just as i hoped, it was made to my be in my father in law's living room, they kind of decided the colors and the rest was up to me, well it came out pretty good, and they were really happy for it, and that was the important thing!! 
 The other one was just for fun, i kind of had the need to draw something and saw a empty canvas laying on the corner of a room, i started by sketching a strange woman that is pushing a button, and after that i just kept sketching until i had no more space on the canvas, it does not make sense, but there is so many things that don't make sense in this world!!


 Peace!!

Sketching Chuck Norris

I have been trying to sketch Chuck Norris for almost two pencils now... but every time i try to make a line my pencil breaks ... Well i just learn something new today; 


"There is no pencil hard enough to sketch Chuck Norris!!!


Happy Sunday to you all!!
