ToughPigs – Muppet Fans Who Grew Up

toughpigsOne of the most informative and dedicated Muppet fan site I’ve ever come across is ToughPigs, for Muppet fans who grew up. The slogan is perhaps a bit misleading. I’d rather say Muppet fans who NEVER grew up. Or maybe I’m just speaking about myself…

ANYWAY, I let out a spontaneous WOKA WOKA yesterday when I got mail from Joe Hennes, co-owner, senior contributor, and editor of ToughPigs. They made a spot for my Muppet fan art! It’s great to see the pieces displayed as a whole like that. Makes me want to make more. More I say. More! And I’d love to make a whole exhibiton of Muppet fan art sometime.

Thanks a million to ToughPigs for featuring my work on your great site, and special thanks to Joe for your support and kind words!

New office, new beginning!

For me, the new year begun 1 Feb when I moved into my new office Södra Esplanaden, a creative studio right in the heart of Lund. Before SE there was a record store here called We love music. But for the Lund citizens the place is mostly known for its classic art gallery, Anders Tornberg Gallery. We’re opposite the cathedral, next to the bar Café Ariman. Convenient to have God and decadence at an arm lenght’s distance…

In my new studio I will continue drawing bears, rabbits, turtles, muppets and what nots. Hopefully I’ll be animating too. I’m totally excited about my Södra Esplanaden colleagues, a creative and diverse group of graphic designers, illustrators, art directors, journalists, web designers, project leaders etc. As cartoonist and animator I’m kind of the wild card of the bunch (hopefully not the black sheep). The future looks promising. I believe this could be the start of a beautiful friendship!

If you’re in the vicinity, drop by for a cup of coffee. I cleaned the coffee machine yesterday, so it’s good now. Visit Södra Esplanaden’s website (mostly in Swedish) if you want to know more:
