HD: Världens Lyckligaste Folk pt 3.

Third illustration in the Världens Lyckligaste Folk series (published in Helsingborgs Dagblad):

I can’t find the image at the site right now, but I’m sure it’s there somewhere. At least it was in the paper last Sunday…

The guy in the image is Mogens Glistrup, who started a political (kind of) party in the 1970ies in Denmark. Fremskritsspatriet, which kind of turned into Dansk Folkeparti which is active today (making a long story very short). Fremskrittspartiet was a clown party, much like Ny Demokrati which came later in in Sweden. But where Ny Demokrati failed pretty quickly, their Danish counterparts had lots of success. And their heirs, Dansk Folkeparti has a lot of space to turn their racist, sorry, islamophobic politics into practice. We have a counterpart to them too in Sweden: Sverigedemokraterna. Hopefully they will crawl back under their rook pretty soon too.

C’est Bon Black Box 4: Wormgod

Sorry. This is taken from the Facebook event, so it’s only in swedish…

I utställningen C’est Bon BLACK BOX inverteras det traditionella utställningsrummet, ”den vita kuben”, och blir en levande utställning som skapas och förstörs om och om igen.

Narrativt, figurativt och nonfigurativt… med gästartister från olika konstformer. Publiken erbjuds också att gå loss på väggarna och aktivt delta i skapandet.

Ny vernissage varje torsdag under hela mars kl. 19-22!

BOX 1: Torsdag 04 mars – C’est Bon Kultur
BOX 2: Torsdag 11 mars – Hillboy, Magen, Kiddo, Falsk
BOX 3: Torsdag 18 mars – Dotterbolaget
BOX 4: Torsdag 25 mars – Wormgod

BOX 4: Wormgod
Torsdag 25 mars
Wormgod
arbetar med skräck och dystopiska visioner för att beskriva hur världen ser ut under den harmlösa mainstreamkulturens yta. Ibland i tryckt form, ibland på väggarna, denna gång både och.

BOX 4 kombinerar ett interaktivt konstverk med release för Piracy is Liberation 008: Spiders pt 2, den andra och avslutande delen av Spiders-storyn som är en del av Mattias Elftorps postapokalyptiska cyberpunkserie. Wormgod-duon gör en Lovecraftinspirerad tolkning av berättelsen på boxens väggar, för att visar vad som döljer sig bakom konsumtionssamhällets fasader.

Bilden kompletteras av musik framförd av Mari Jansson (Pets or Food) & Martin Thulin och en performance av VampireBarbie. Mellan varven blir det skräckinspirerat soundtrack och suggestiva projektioner.

Alla Wormgod-relaterade publikationer kommer att finns till försäljning (Piracy is Liberation bok 001-008, Dystopia 01-05), likaså en del gott och blandat från CBK…

Medverkande:
Wormgod: Susanne Johansson, Mattias Elftorp
VampireBarbie: Ture Sternudd
Mari Jansson
Martin Thulin

HD: Världens Lyckligaste Folk

Helsingborgs Dagblad is currently (starting today) running Lena Sundström’s book Världens Lyckligaste Folk on Sundays, with illustrations by me.

This is the first one:

The book is about Denmark’s road to racism. Kind of a preemptive strike against a similar development in Sweden (especially the southern region). 

Lena Sundström’s new foreword (only in Swedish).
Today’s first installment in HD (only in Swedish).

Fan Art: Pirate by Max Sjöholm

Max Sjöholm made this:

Very nice portrait. Check out more of Max’s stuff at Deviant Art… 

I believe he used an old photo of me as model for this. It’s from an old C’est Bon meeting, where we did something important while playing boule in the park. Something like deciding on the name C’est Bon, or planning our first website. I don’t remember…

Fan Art: Purple and Information at the arcade by rama.

rama made this for me:

rama is currently working at her Oblivion High series of books, which is a mix of high school drama and classic Finnish mythology. Also losely(?) connected to OH is Vesi Oli Mustaa.

Sadly, so far these books are only available in Finnish, so I haven’t been able to read them. Yet.

This is a bit older than the other fan art I’ve been showing lately. I don’t remember exactly how old, but in time to inspire one of the chapters of Piracy is Liberation 007: Spiders pt 1 (and I wrote that specific chapter ages ago). It was published in book 007.

Old sketches… 2

Some more of the old sketches I found in a pile of papers in a box next to a pile of paper.

This one is from a story I was planning to do as a comic, but never finished. I found lots of drawings and thumbnail sketches, but no script. It looks interesting. I wonder what it was supposed to be about?
