Äh, myöhästyin näköjään tunnilla kaamos-haasteesta, mutta onni on mukana, ja sama kuva sopii seuraavaankin aiheeseen… anteeksi kannibalisointi. Kuva on sateisen lenkin saalista.

Grammari
Tämänhetkisestä luonnoskirjastani on hyvää vauhtia tulossa "vaimoni Wayne's:ssä"-kirja. Tällä kertaa vieressä oli niin hieno gramofoni, että eihän sitä voinut jättää vapaana juoksentelemaan.
My current sketchbook is quickly becoming the "my wife in cafés" -book. This time there was just such a fetching gramophone next to her that I just couldn't pass the opportunity to capture it.

Akava Camp 2009
Akava Camp -korkeakoulukiertueelle tehty 3,5 x 2,5 m taustaseinäkuva. Akavan ständi äänestettiin jopa hienoimmaksi kilpailussa, johon se ei osallistunut :)
An illustration for a wall display background measuring 3,5 x 2,5 m. It was used on a trade union tour of Finnish universities and polytechnics. The Akava stand was even voted best looking in a competition it did not participate in :)

Quick sketch - Frankesteinity
Ensimmäinen iPodilla tehty luonnos. n. 15 minuuttia. Omatekemän kynäni tarkkuus ei ole mikään maailman paras, mutta aivan valtavan hieno väline värimuistiinpanoihin!
My first sketch done on an iPod took about 15 min. The accuracy of my self-made stylus isn't very impressive but it's still the perfect tool for quick colour notes.

Luova lauantai: Vapaa, IF: Flying
En taaskaan voi vastustaa kuvaa, joka käy moneen kuvitushaasteeseen. Tämän tein kesällä Akava Camp -korkeakoulukierrosta varten, joka oli viimeksi Itä-Suomessa. Kehitin hahmot jo vuosia sitten Akavan opiskelijaoppaita varten ja oli mukavaa palata niiden pariin. Tein samaiselle kierrokselle myös taustaseinän, josta tuli näyttävä ainakin kuvista päätellen.
I just can't resist an image I can post on multiple illustration challenges. I did this during the summer for Akava Camp -tour. The characters were created years ago for their student brochures and it was nice to get to revisit them. I also did a background wall for the tour which came out fairly spectacularly.

It's me again…
Ostin uutta akvarellipaperia ja kokeilin sitä heti itseeni. Yli puolen vuoden mallistapiirtämis- ja maalaustauon jälkeen kaikki ei mennyt ihan putkeen… Ala- ja yläosa kasvoista ovat eri asennoista.
I bought some new watercolour paper and tried it on myself. But after a 9 month break in life drawing and painting it didn't go without problems… The bottom and top half of the face are from different positions.

Infinite supply
Tein nämä kuvat HuuMaa-projektin oppimateriaaliin "Huumeet ja maailma". Kirja käsittelee yleisten kasviperäisten huumeiden vaikutusta tuotantomaiden asukkaisiin. Suositeltavaa luettavaa kaikille, jotka haluavat tietää, mitä huumekauppa oikeasti tekee.
I did these images for a Finnish anti-drugs campaign book for 7-9th grade and high school students. The purpose of the book is to show the effects of buying common organic-based drugs to the people in the countries producing the drugs. Only in Finnish at the moment.

Are they really made out of moles?
Löysin Tukholmasta vesiväripaperisen Moleskine-luonnoskirjan ja ajattelin kokeilla, mistä kaikki kohu johtuu. Eihän se paperi mitään ihmeellistä ole, mutta esineenä kirjanen on kyllä erityisen miellyttävä. Se on pitkältä sivultaan A5-arkin levyinen, mutta kapeampi, joten muodosta tulee mukava "widescreen"-versio luonnoskirjasta. Jep, kyllä näihin voi jäädä koukkuun! En löytänyt keskikokoista versiota sketch-nimikkeellä myytävästä kirjasta, mutta siinä on keltaista paperia. Nyt kun ne vain saataisiin Suomeen!
I found a watercolour Moleskine sketchbook in Stockholm and thought I'd see what all the fuss is about. The paper is nothing special but as an object, the book is very pleasing. The longer side is the same as an A5 but the book is slimmer, so it becomes a kind of "widescreen" sketchbook. I could see myself getting hooked on these! I couldn't find a medium size version of the "sketch" Moleskine but it has yellow paper inside. Now all we have to do is get them imported to Finland!

Ameriikan perustuslaki osa 1
USA:n perustuslaissa on ainakin yksi pykälä, joka antaa rutkasti aihetta kummastukseen. Toinen lisäys kuuluu: "The right to keep and bear arms". En tykkää linnojen piirtelystä, joten keskityn kakkososaan. Mikä ihmeen fiksaatio amerikkalaisilla on karhujen käpäliin? Kaikkihan tietävät, että se johtaa väistämättä... (jatkuu osassa 2)
There is at least one amendment in the US constitution that keeps puzzling me. The 2nd amendment: "The right to keep and bear arms". I don't like drawing castles so I'll focus on the latter part. So, what's with this fixation on bear arms? Everyone knows that it will inevitably lead to... (continued in part 2)

Mad Man
Koska en ehtinyt croquisiin tälläkään viikolla, luonnostelin televisiosta. Etsin samalla referenssejä ed. postissa mainittua verkkosarjista varten, joten 50-luku jyrää.
Because I didn't make it to life drawing this week, I did sketches from the tv. At the same time I was looking for reference pictures for the webcomic I mentioned in the last post, so the 50's rock.

Morgan & Dante as a free webcomic
Aloin juuri julkaista Morgan & Dantea nettisarjiksena. Olen tehnyt sarjaa lähes 10 vuotta ja oppinut sen avulla piirtämään kunnolla (tosin kaikki vanhimmat stripit on piirretty uudelleen). Tarina on kevyt seikkailukertomus avaruuden viidakoista. Mainos kertoo aika paljon - luvassa on vauhtia ja huumoria, eikä kovin paljon eettistä pohdintaa.
I just started publishing Morgan & Dante as a webcomic. I've been making this series for nearly 10 years and it has taught me to draw properly (although all the earliest strips have been redrawn). The story is a light adventure in the jungles of outer space. Like the ad suggests - there is going to be a lot of thrills and humour.

IF: Breezy
Tämä ilmestyi Helsingin vihreiden eduskuntavaalilehdessä vuonna 2007. Helsinki jää veden alle ja niin edespäin. Tein tämän mahdollisimman vaikeasti. Melkein jokainen väri on erillinen piirros - skannattu ja kompattu indesignissa.
This was published in the Helsinki green party magazine for the 2007 parliamental election. Helsinki getting tsunami-treatment and so forth. I did this the absolute hardest way. Nearly every colour is its own drawing - scanned and comped in indesign.

Pohjoismaiden Doping-mestaruus, IF: Celebrate
Tämä julkaistiin Seurassa viime kesänä. Juttu kertoi siitä, kuinka Ruotsi on Pohjoismaiden doping-kuningas ja Suomi hyvä kakkonen.
This was published in Seura-magazine last summer. The article was about how Sweden leads the nordic countries in doping use and Finland comes in a close second. I guess that's something to celebrate...

Luova lauantai: Musiikki
Jep, olen tietoinen, että tämä on aika harlekiini-vetoinen tulkinta aiheesta, mutta joskus vain siirappi saa homman toimimaan! :)
Kuvitus novelliin, joka ilmestyi Kosmoskynä-lehdessä.
I am well aware that this is a very Hallmarkish image but sometimes you have to go extra sappy to get the job done. :)

Freud katsoo etelään
Koskapa teen vain töitä, postaan sitten töitä. Tämän tein keväällä Maailman kuvalehti Kumppaniin, juttuun, joka käsitteli länsimaisen psykologian suhtautumista kehitysmaihin. On mielenkiintoista, että vasta viime aikoina on alettu myöntää, että etelässä saattaa olla aivan samanlaisia mielenterveysongelmia ja laajamittaista masennusta kuin länsimaissakin.
Because all I do is work, I'll post some here. I did this illustration for a Finnish magazine that focuses on the "rest of the world" basically meaning everything outside the western industrialised nations. The article was about the attitude of western psychology on people of the developing nations. It is interesting that only lately it has become mainstream to admit that the people of the South might have similar mental problems and widespread depression as in the privileged third of the globe.

Conte-mayhem
Voi tätä paradoksia - piirrän niin paljon, ettei ole mitään, mitä laittaa blogiin... Työt vievät tosiaan kaiken ajan, joten päivitystahti on taas kärsinyt. Tässä kuitenkin viime vuoden loppupuolelta kuva erittäin nopealiikkeisestä tytöstä.
Oh, the irony - I'm drawing so much nowadays that I have nothing to show on the blog... Work is eating away such a big part of my time it makes updating a bit difficult. However, here's a picture of a very fast-moving girl from the end of last year.
