So I’m back from Crack!, but more about that later. Need more photos first…
There has been two new illustrations in HD since last time I posted anything:
Translation speech balloon:
They’re uncivilised. We don’t want that kind of things here.
Translation text on shirt:
REINSTATE THE DEATH PENALTY
This one is about racism breeding in well-kept area without much problems with poverty and such things. Perhaps you get more protective if you’ve got more to lose?
Yesterday, another illustration in Helsingborgs Dagblad (Världens Lyckligaste Folk by Lena Sundström):
Today: Chapter 2 och Piracy is Liberation 001: Information Wants to be Free begins:

And next week, I’m representing Wormgod at the Crack! festival in Rome:
I feel right now that I should say something about Ship to Gaza, but I’ll just express my sympathy and solidarity with the people of Palestine and post this video:

Couldn’t find the text at Helsingborgs Dagblad‘s site, which is too bad because I really liked today’s chapters. It was about urban myths about terrorists (the thankful terrorist who returns a good deed by giving advice about places to stay away from during certain periods of time – nowadays the tale’s star is an arab, some time ago they were Irish). I did my own version:

I’ll give you a tip: Stay out of Iraq in March…
How come everytime you decide to take a night off, it’s to survive rather than relax? At least in this line of work (precarious illustrator, pro-bono graphic designer, cyberpunk comics artist)…
Anyway. This is what’s going on this year, past and future, as far as I can see right now. I may skip some of it to take a night off, and I may end up in places I haven’t yet thought of.

Translation:
Why of course, everyone is welcome in Sweden! Where did you say you’re coming from?
Eritrea? Oh no. You can come back when you’re from Holland…
A little sample from today’s installment on www.elftorp.com/piracy:
Information is dangerous only when it breeds new thoughts, thoughts when they breed action.
Today’s page. See more at www.elftorp.com/piracy!
Book 001, chapter 1, page 4.
Updated daily, so check back to the site tomorrow. And the day after that. And so on… Maybe not this weekend ’cause I’ll be at the Komiks.dk festival, but even then I might find a solution, so it’s still worth checking.
Yesterday’s illustration for Lena Sundström‘s series Världens Lyckligaste Folk in Helsingborgs Dagblad:
Translation:
Well, it was nice of you to join us for the cooking, but we think it might be best if you leave now.
My illustration for today’s installment of Världens Lyckligaste Folk by Lena Sundström in Helsingborgs Dagblad:
Translation:
In Denmark, EVERYONE is welcome.
So stay away!
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:
Translation:
But here in Sweden, we have no bad conscience.
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…
