pipipipip pew pew pew

Soooo, I was playing team fortress 2 with my coworkers during my lunch-break, but now I'm trying to do daily studies instead. These are all about 1 hour or less. Hopefully I'll be able to keep it up, but it can be reallllly hard to get started on studies some times. Always feels good once you get going, but so hard to just...get started :P



Also, I've been doing some portrait painting once a week at my friend's place, with only a few weeks missed since we started! Really fun to do :O I'll try to remember to take some pictures of my paintings next time I am there. For now, here's a shot of his awesome 'studio' that we're working in :D My painting is on the left, his is on center [he is the one who took the photo kekek]

moo

woah, been forever since I posted on here. I'm trying to let the blog die, I've just been insanely busy the last few months. While I was on a lovely working vacation in Norway [see posts below] I got a job offer, and took it :O

soooo... I've been in Shanghai, China for the last 4 months...trying to stay on top of my freelance, and working fulltime at Redsteam Studio, working for Gameloft.

Here's some sketches from the old sketchbook, which I only recently remembered I had...
my friend/coworker Oyo and I have started going out on monday nights to do sketching after work :) feels really good to get away from the computer and doodle...






and here's the crazy view from my 27th floor apartment...


Haven't really had much time for personal work. When I'm not doing freelance and not working, I really prefer not being at the computer...
