Fan-art

I was looking at my friend Karl Johnsson's blog and got inspiration for this pre-historical love story between man and reptile bird.

Now it's time for a bit of Barton!

One day, Barton was going swimming at the public bathing institution. It was a beautiful day, but there were some rainclouds around the edges. He brought his umbrella.

The birds were singing, but not Barton's little bird, because it was not there.

Barton bought a bonus travel-card. The busdriver prepared it for him.
"Now you can put it in."
Said the busdriver.

On the road to town the cows had done it again. The busdriver went swiftly to action.

In town, there was a lot of houses, but only one Public Bathing Institution.

At the Public Bathing Institution it smelled nice and were heard a lot of splashing and joyful screams, but something had just struck Barton's mind.

He had forgotten his swimglasses.*

(*) Bartons eyes are very sensitive to the chlorine in the Public Bathing Institution's pools and Barton can close his eyes if he want to, but he do not, he wants to look, for he is such a character who wants to see what is happening around him without having to be all redeyed.

Barton went to a shop that sold swimming-related products, but he had a hard time deciding which glasses to buy.

Finally he found a pair.
"Aren't they nice?"
Said Barton (not).
"They sure are!"
Said the cashier (not).

When he came back to the Public Bathing Institution the personal had prepared a welcome-commité to celebrate Barton's return. Not.

Inside the Public Bathing Institution, Barton found the indoor pool closed, but the much grander and nicer outdoor pool were open.

It happened to be so, that this pool was twice as long as the one Barton was used to, but fast, he managed to figure out how many length one had to swim according to the new measurements.

And then he swam.

When Barton came out of the Public Bathing Institution it had started to rain, but it did'nt matter, for he had his umbrella.

THE END

Yeey!

I'm good, yes! Hire me please!

Några porträtt

Jag har gjort några porträtt på kända serieskapare när de har varit förbi på min skola. Många inspirerande möten!
Coco Moodysson, cool serieskapare som gör helt sjukt roliga och bra serier. Hon har bland annat gjort böckerna Coco Platina Titan Total (2002), Vårdcentralen fontanellen (2005) och Aldrig Gonatt (2008)

Jag kan varmt rekommendera hennes fanzine Mitt Magiska Jag.

Mike Diana, den förste serieskapare som dömts i en domstol för att ha ritat äckliga saker.
Har gjort en hel del fanzines och böcker:

Boiled Angel zine #1-8 , Sourball Prodigy (Som fanzine 1992) (Som bok 2002), Superfly #1 Comic (1993), Cherry Bomb Revolution (1995), Worst of Boiled Angel (1996), Superfly #2 Comic (1997), "Scummy Comix" (2007)

Jeffrey Brown, serieskapare och även min mentor. Han kom nyligen ut med Fumlig (2009), en svensköversättning av hans första bok Clumsy (2005) som han egentligen gav ut på egen hand ännu tidigare. Efter Clumsy har han gjort en hel drös med böcker och andra coola grejer, för mycket för att jag ska orka skriva det här i bloggen faktiskt. Hans senaste heter Funny Misshapen Body (2009) och är en fin och mycket humoristisk självbiografi som bland annat handlar om hans väg till att bli serietecknare.
