Bamse #16

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Tutelutterna are back! Written by Joakim Gunnarsson and Mårten Melin, and drawn by me and Kerstin Hamberg, “Tutelutternas Dal” features more Tutelutter than you’ve ever seen before!

I had to work my way through hellish panels such as this one (I think I spent at least a day on it):

Nice full cover by J. Gunnarsson, Lars Bällsten and Bernt Hanson. Note the ad. for the christmas album to which I drew the cover (should be out by now).

They say Tutelutterna have become rather popular among Bamse’s readers. I’d love to hear some response from readers able to read these English entries!

Nytt Lundaspex: Lincoln

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

I just started work on some illustrations for the theater program booklet of the latest Lundaspex production, LINCOLN. The premiere will be 30 November, so I’ve got about two weeks to finish my drawings before the booklet needs to be printed.

I got the idea to try to make them like MAD parody drawings. I just bought the book “MAD about Star Wars”, a book that inspired me more than anything lately (just imagine if you could draw like Mort Drucker!). If you come back here during the following two weeks I’ll let you see how the work progresses. You need to be able to read Swedish of course…

Christmas Jazz

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

Here’s my latest venture: a poster for a big band christmas concert. As if by coincidence, I happen to play in the band. I’d like to invite everyone in the neighborhood and elsewhere to this event! It will take place in Lund, at LTH:s Kårhus (Gasquesalen i källaren) 25/11 at 4 pm. Welcome!

The bloke posing as a dissatisfied Rudolph the Red-nosed reindeer is Bobbe himself (Robin Petersson), the leader of the band. The guys in the sleigh are Ulrika Orre and Per Svensson, the vocal soloists. The ink drawing:

And this is the colored version. The only thing missing is the informational text at the bottom (where, when & how). It will be added by Rudolf… eh, I mean Bobbe.

I’m not completely satisfied with the colors (in particular the tacky airbrush effects), but I’m a bit short on time, and besides I’m doing it for free…
