Christmas card from last year

I'll try to find some time to do a new one before this Christmas.
Meanwhile "Hyvää joulun odotusta!"

i got tagged

... I got tagged by Andrew, and so here we go.

Tag rules:

7 random facts about me:
-I think know that canned tuna is cat food. And for cats only.
-I own 7 Flogging Molly band shirts
-I like sitting on the floor (rather than sofa) when I watch TV
-I often do my shopping subconsciously.
-I hate board games, in which you have to act, sing or perform in any way, even drawing.
-I lied my birth date in facebook
-I pay monthly to use public transports, yet I walk 40 minutes to work and back every day, taking the same route as the tram.

And the lucky bloggers getting tagged are co-workers and persons commenting my latest post:
Eliza Jäppinen
Teemu Jäppinen
Mel Milton
Ken Chandler
Andry Rajoelina
Matias
Matthieu Forichon

and then some sketches, the first one was for a game concept, the second was drawn while watching nature documentary.

more angry monkeys

I just had to do more!

This last banana is mine!

Scene at work was rendering for 17 mins. I spent that time sketching this.

and check out the latest episode of "the guys"

sketch post

I'll try once again to be more active with posting in my blog. It's sometimes just hard to find the energy after a days work.

Here's some picks from my sketchbook and random sheets of paper. I'm trying to do more sketching with pencil and paper, markers, and other more traditional drawing methods. Cintiq is a great tool, and I couldn't do my job without it, but it's nice to try doing something without it. And I actually find my left hand looking for "undo" every once in a while after a horribly drawn line. I try not to use eraser either. I hope that helps to realize how much there is to learn. And possibly over time I get more confident lines.

a lot to fix in this one, it needs work on pretty much every aspect. But there's something that I like so here it is.

Seamonster, some character sketches for flipbooks and random shit.

Control

I'm the laziest blogger around...
I saw the movie Control couple of weeks ago. It was great. Here's a sketch of Ian Curtis.
