Återupptäck MAUS…
I just finished my contribution for Seriefrämjandet‘s Återupptäck MAUS event. If accepted, it will be published in an issue of Bild & Bubbla and featured in an exhibition shown at different locations…
Here’s a panel from it:

What are a couple of military transports compared to real death camps?

Illustration for the upcoming C’est Bon Anthology vol. 11 (C’est Bon Kultur):
I thought the theme for this issue was quite interesting. All participating artists are, or have been, part of the editorial crew, and all the comics included are remakes of comics published in past issues av CBA and/or other publications from CBK.
I chose to do my own version of an image by Daniel Novakovic from the old Publikation(34)C’est Bon.
I’m looking forward to seeing Allan Haverholm‘s variation on one of my old comics…
Piracy is Liberation – webcomic coming soon!
I’m starting to run out of copies of the first Piracy is Liberation book, so I decided to share the entire series as a webcomic.
The webcomic will be updated once a day. As an extra bonus, I’ll occasionally be
running a commentary track along with the images. I also might do some pages
now and then in color…
It all begins May 15 2010 at www.elftorp.com/piracy!
HD: Världens Lyckligaste Folk pt 6-7
For some reason, I couldn’t find the link to last Sunday’s episode of Världens Lyckligaste Folk in Helsingborgs Dagblad. Here‘s the latest episode.
And here are the two latest illustrations:
Möllevångsfestivalen 2010
This year, I’m doing the graphics for Möllevångsfestivalen, a local festival that’s been going for some years now in Malmö in the area of Möllevången.
Last night, they released the poster and new site layout, and also published an interview with me.
Style experiments…
Ever since I saw the MASSIVE anthology, I’ve been wanting to experiment with a new drawing style. Guess the closest I’ve come to what I want to be doing is the graphics for the AltCom 2010 Festival.
Most certainly, I’ll experiment some more for the next Brand illustration…
Coming soon: Brand
Here’s an illustration that I made for the new issue of Brand, to be released on May 1st:
The new magazine looks great. I probably would have used a slightly different style if I’d seen the rest of the book first, but it still feels good to have contributed to such a nice package…

From Helsingborgs Dagblad today:
Dystopia 06!
Just printed the first copies of the new Dystopia, which is a plit between Rocco Lombardi and Amanda Casanellas:
They will both be officially released at the Small Press eXpo in Stockholm in one and a half week.
Presentation in Swedish:
Italienske Rocco Lombardi möter svenska Amanda Casanellas i en split som på olika sätt berör nationalitet och internationella relationer. Lombardi sätter inre klassmotsättningar i relation till internationella konflikter medan Casanellas sätter fingret på hur det är att växa upp som invandrare i Sverige och hur den situationen hänger ihop med globala relationer.
Sida A:
Pappa höll på att förlora jobbet så både jag och mamma gick med i protesterna för att behålla fabriken. Jag kan fortfarande känna av gasen som polisen använde och TVn pratar nu mest om kriget, men pappa fick åtminstone behålla jobbet.
Sida B:
Casanellas beskriver en verklighet som kan te sig främmande för många svenskar som som för andra är en daglig realitet. De slutsatser som dras i denna serie förklarar varför bilar brinner i förorten genom att visa på konflikter som inte påverkar bara det svenska samhället utan rör sig på en global nivå. Hon pekar också ut boven i dramat…
Dystopia är ett samarbete mellan Seriefrämjandet och Wormgod där olika serieskapare presenterar visioner av den mörka framtid som går oss till mötes (eller som redan är här?).
