Cthulhu Pendant

A little cthulhu pendant :)

Wizard's Apprentice

:) Been shopping the groceries and probably here now pushing the elevator button or the door bell.

Christmas Pie Shuriken!!

It's a ninja with joulutorttu luumuhillolla-shuriken! (That's a Finnish plum filled Christmas Pie that funnily looks like a shuriken, I just made a loadful of them last night!) :)

Santa's Little Helper

Smallest of all the Santa's elves. Fairies wear boots as we all know :)

Merry Xmas from a Reindeer Dragon!!

This weird little fellow, a rare speciment of what seems to be a reindeer dragon, wishes you all Merry Xmas!

Christmas Gift Tag

Here's a little Christmas monkey I'll print on a cardboards as a Christmas gift tags. :)

Barn Owl

It seems I'm in a bird mode :) Here's my favorite owl, the barn owl.

A Swan

Your average bun eating swan saying 'kvaak'.

Orient Dragon

Super happy orient dragon :)

Black Cat

Mut kissa, joka tanssi, se paras kissa on, sen mustempaa ei ole alla auringon!

I love Finnish nursery rhyme called the The Black Cat's Tango :)

Toast Monster with Flu

The poor Toast Monster has a flu so the little bird flu by to cheer him up. I thought Friday I got the first flu this year but luckily that was not the case. Knock three times my head, made of solid timber, that I wont have any this year (happily 14 days left 2007)!

Beauty

Quick sketch of a beauty with a rose on her hair. Damn I miss my 'old' hair nowdays too!

Tower of Owls!

It's a sky high pile of owls, the youngest one haven't hatched yet I guess :)

Motörhead Helsinki 11.12!

I was on a Motörhead gig in Helsinki 11.12., it was awesome as usual! Thank you so much Lemmy+guys!
So here's a Lemmy plush toy that I'd make if I was handy :)

Ghost Hunters

Lately I've been watching the U.S. Scifi Channel's' Ghost Hunters' a lot, it's great! So here's a little paranormal pixel dude floating around the place. :)

Boo Boo Kitty

A random cartoon cat acting very dog-like!

Live Model Sketch

Very quick sketch!

Singstar

I bought the Singstar for Playstation 2 last Friday with the 'Anthems' disc including Finnish hits. It was so great that I had to first thing on Saturday go and buy the Singstar 80's disc also. My 'golden songs' seem to be Pet Shop Boys 'You were always on my mind' (though I learned it's only a cover of Elvis' song), Culture Club's 'Karma Chameleon' and Depeche Mode's 'Enjoy the Silence'. I totally fumbled the songs I thought I knew really well like Kate Bush's 'Running up that hill' and Marillion's 'Kayleigh'. I sang them ruddy awful!!!!

But it's a bundle of fun :) Here's the fifties' angel dude (because I learned also this weekend that my friends really have sang Nightwish's 'I wish I had an Angel' on a karaoke) trying to memorize who it is that was always on his mind! :)

Sketch

Just something quick, I hope to make a somewhat a painting of her later on, when I have solved what to do on the background:)

Love it!

A world hugging happy bunny! :)

Swamp Witch

It's weekend so let's take a ride in ghost train first cart! I stumbled upon a Jim Stafford song in Youtube about a swamp witch living well, on swap where the strange green reptiles grow. It sounded so great I wanted to draw something about it immediately. This swamp witch though looks just like my recent dreamful zombie. Well, maybe it runs in the family! :)

Little Animated Frog

Kuaks kuaks vuan. :)

Carrot Run

It's a carrot running (maybe a savage rabbit have spotted him on the vegetable pat).

Thank You Alice!

Yesterday we were in Alice Cooper concert in Jäähalli, Helsinki. I was very happy to see Alice again, I first saw Alice in tv 9 years old and have ever since loved Alice and seen him twice before. Thank you Alice! You're welcome any day I'll make you a cup of tea! :)

Taxi!

It's a friendly gray trying to get a space taxi.

Elementary, Dear Watson

I've been missing a good book to read after I finished The Historian. I've looked through all my old books and found nothing good to read, also visited the book stores but alas nothing captured my interest. Today I visited first time for two years in the local antiquarium, and was spellbound again. Why have I stayed away such a long time? :) The shelves were bursting with good books, books I've read and loved, and books I've always wanted to read, but never seen them anywhere. I must go back there next weekend. For the first aid, I grabbed the Sherlock Holmes omnibus in Finnish with magnificent Jeremy Brett on the cover (my favorite Sherlock) and also a little book about the Greek gods and goddesses. And this euphoria costed only 9 euros! Can't wait to start reading those books, I read a little bit the Greek gods book on a bus and felt very, very happy indeed! :)

Ai jai

It's an unsatisfied goldfish who wishes to be back in the sea.

Hyvvee päevee

Something quick! It's me in a winter garderobe.

The Crow's Pearl

Something bit like a story I'm thinking at the moment, a crow carrying a pearl in his beak.

Le Kroak

A frog-fish monster of some sort hopping around and well, croaking.

Jeanne D'Heart

This morning I listened Kate Bush's Aerial cd, and the song 'Joanni' made me weep by it's beauty (does it every time). We must always build on peace in our lives.

Sky High Tower with A Green Flag

Hmm not the best title ever I assume... An old tower with an additional flag and some random pigeons, catching the last sun rays of the day.

Bring On The Night

A city going to sleep, so do I :)

Mr Roboto vs. Classic

Poor Mr. Roboto falls for the classic banana trick. Today I almost caused Mr. Roboto effect in the supermarket by accidentally dropping a pack of yogurth on the floor. Well, nothing much to do than warn the people please pass the yogurth on the floor, and then as fast as a lightning run to the deli desk to as for help and some paper perhaps. As I run to the desk I saw in my already very guilty mind Mr. Roboto effect. Thank all the gods of the tasty sandwiches, nothing bad happened.

Cheshire Cat

Yes, life is sometimes good, I have the winning bid on the Disney Store Cheshire Cat Plush Toy (ahoy, life, where art thou). Because it's aint over till the fat lady sings (even New Kids on The Block knew this on their hit single 'Hangin Tough', though rest was tragedy and undeniably a piece of 90's pop history) I draw a retro Cheschire Cat wallpaper, 1280x1024 this time.

And hey, I once had Jonathan's autograph on Koff's freebie notepad! :)

Dreamful Zombie

I don't draw much horror, but today I got the sudden inspiration from the near-by's Kinopalatsi movie theather's Beowulf posters. I really like the story of Beowulf (and has there ever been a cooler monster name than Grendel) and I can't wait to see the movie. First I wanted to do the Grendel, then the monster turned out mysteriously very femalish (ok, Grendel's mother then) but finally what I got in front of me was a dreamful zombie. Well can't (and shouldn't) really argue with monsters, a wishful dreaming zombie then it is :) Maybe he is dreaming of brains, eeeaaggh!!! Icky.

Nightshadow

Woah! Another speed painting, a haunting forest with an even more haunting samurai. I remember in the movie 'Last Samurai' there was an impressive night scene with blue ambient light, I tried capture that same feeling in this painting.

Winter Sun

Woke up today to a winter wonderland :) I was doodling this picture of a samurai on a snow field and a mountain castle in the background all day in my mind, so when I got to the computer I made it in about 1 hour. A personal record of some sort I think.

The picture's size is 1024 x 768 so you can use it nicely as a wallpaper if you like.

Scarecrow Color

This is a colored version of my Halloween scarecrow, had a lot of fun (and cider) while doing it Friday night! :)

Halloween Scarecrow

Very very scary :)

Kiai!

An illustration I did while ago, inspired by a samurai book I bought. While crossing the uneasy waters on the shelf of his loyal tortoise, a samurai mouse is attacked by a giant koifish! Get ready for the battle! :)

Spot the Man-Eating Dragon Dog

Something very so-not-here-right-now kind of stuff.

Rush 29.10.07 Helsinki, Hats Off to You, Sirs!

Well it was a long wait but worth of every year waiting for!! Please come back soon! Thank you! :)

Nosferatu and The Mystery of the Week Days Flying By

It's a dark creature pondering the ancient mystery 'how on earth it's already Tuesday tomorrow'.

Samurai Armour

It's already Sunday night! How on earth the weekend can go so fast :)

Tiny Sea Horses and A Giant Blue Whale

I managed to get up this morning at 8 o'clock and saw a magnificent nature document about the blue whales. It's so hard to realise how big they really are. So this made me do this little pic of about very, very tiny things and very very big things in the same picture. :)

Skeleton Bird

Something quick using a reference pic (not a real bird!!) while waiting the guests coming over for a cup of coffee to arrive.

Big Pig

It's a very graceful mammoth pig.
