Logen Ninefingers aka The Bloody-Nine

Some time ago I read Joe Abercrombie's The First law trilogy followed by Best served cold, The Heroes and Red Country. These books are, hands down, some of the best fantasy novels around. I could not put them down. Hard and gritty dark fantasy. So very totally cool!

I don't know if Mr. Abercrombie is writing more books, set in the world of The First Law, but I really truly hope so.

When you read a book, or a story, you always paint up your own image of what characters look like. Mine, as many others, favourite character from Abercrombie's books is Logen Ninefingers. I looked around on the internet for paintings for Ninefingers but I couldn't find a pic that fit my image of him. So I had to sit down and make my own. So here it comes. My first "fanart" in many a year. My version of Logen Ninefingers aka The Bloody-Nine.

Golden Gnome winner

 The readers and visitors of www.boningen.org have appointed me the 2012 illustrator of the year winner!  I'm now a very proud (and hopefully, very humble) Golden Gnome winner. You'll find the results from the vote here.
I would also like to congratulate the other winners; Fria Ligan and Tove Gillbring.  Well deserved guys!

Last but not least, I wish to thank all the people who voted for me. Hat's off to you!
Now I have to go and savour the moment.

Thanks again!

Hero of the year

I just found out I'm one out of four nominees for the Golden Gnome Award: Hero of the year - Illustrator (2012) because of my artwork for the swedish role-playing game "Svavelvinter" during 2012. http://www.boningen.org/archives/rollspel/arets-hjaltar-illustratorer

I'm truly honoured and really proud for this nomination and attention, and glad that I can contribute to the swedish role-playing game culture.

PSA - Public "SwedCard" announcement

Our homepage http://www.swedcard.com is acting slow and it's taking quite a long time to load. We suspect that the slow performance is due to Hurricane Sandy.

Is it a Bird... Is it a Man... No! It's... BirdMan?

Here's an illustration that I made for Tramenze, the first official module for the rpg Svavelvinter. The module itself isn't out yet, but it's featured in the latest number of Fenix magazine (#5 2012)
