Why is this exciting, you ask? Why, because it has utter awesomeness between its covers. I am talking about this illustration:
It is a picture I drew of the Swedish comics characters "Mannen som gör vad som faller honom in", Adamson, 91:an, Bamse, Socker-Conny and Nina Hemmingsson's nameless character.
Click to enlarge! It was really fun to draw, because I had to study the technique and temperament of each artist - and it turned out I have a knack for it! The very day after I made this, I actually got another commission for a drawing in a famous comics artist's style. But more about that later on, it will get its own entry.
Of course, there is other awesomeness in the book as well. It is a short history, in English, about the comics culture in Sweden. It is published by The Swedish Comics Association and distributed in the US by Top Shelf. Read it! More information at the author's blog: www.sekventiellt.se.
I recall having seen the original motif before, with Donald Duck (or something) through the ages.
ReplyDeleteWell, nice to see the new twist on it, though.
