Another bug

This bug is a salesman kinda bug :)

Hey what's this?!!

2010-08-04T08:25:00.000-07:00

Ohh look what I found... Peter at work did this great render of a character I designed... If only I had more time, this would be a great short movie.

The Kore Gang!

2010-08-02T06:15:00.000-07:00

The Kore Gang... a game I designed and created for the Xbox, has now been converted to the Wii. The creation of this game has been an insane roller coaster ride. The original idea and demo was created almost 10 years ago.. can you believe that.. the game was on ice for almost 5 years and know finally it's coming out on Wii. Something just won't die :)

I originally made a demo of the game on PC back then when I worked for Shiny Ent. I made the demo in Virtools which then was called Nemo. The game was sold to a publisher called CDV, development was a joint adventure between my newly founded Zoink Games and UDS(Unique Development Studios) in Sweden. Then 2-3 years ago Snapdragon converted it to Wii with the help of Zoink Games. It's a looong story... and maybe one day I will tell it all.

Here is a old concept image from early development.. god knows.. I probably made hundreds of concepts sketches and images for this game.

Here is a link to the new website to the new publisher:

Besides the trillion other projects, we(Zoink animation) are also doing the musicvideo for Duncan Sheik. He is great. We love him. He got a Grammy last year. And a Tony.
This is gonna be the most beautiful music video ever.

Kore looks awesome on Wii

2008-09-17T15:02:00.000-07:00

"The graphics were unbelievable and it is the best looking Wii game I have seen to date. In fact it was so graphical that it forces the dev team to optimize code as much as possible to keep the graphics quality higher than the Wii has ever been pushed."

Wiiiiiii!!!

wow I shouldn't have a blog!

2008-08-04T09:07:00.000-07:00

So much has happened, but I dont write about it. What is wrong with me!
Let me just list a couple of "small" things:
1. My game Kore, which was canceled for Xbox(1) is now getting converted for Wiiiiiii!!! (finally the right platform).
2. During 2007 I painted a Graphic Novel for James Patterson! Patterson has sold over a 150 million books! (yes its true, check it!). For the GN check http://www.daniel-x.com/
3. We at Zoink animation made a freaking amazing trailer for the Daniel X IP. Its on youtube, but I wanna post it here when its online in higher res. Youtube doesn't do it justice.
4. I got Nordic Game Program funding for a whole new game called Wiiwaa. It's an amazing new game/toy hybrid.

Ok.. I probably forgot some stuff..
I should blog more often.

a couple of images from the weekend.. can't wait to color them.

It's time for an update from Paris!

2007-03-13T01:35:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since I told you some news.

First of I ordered something amazing from HongKong. A screeen tablet. I always wanted one of those Cintiqs from Wacom. But they are a whopping 2500 euro! And it's almost impossible to try one here in sweden(it's not like you just pop down to the local Wacomshop) so how am I supposed to know if it's actually fits my needs.

So... after searching the internet I found a cheaper version from a japanese company called Active (or P-active) http://www.p-active.com.tw/company/lcd.htm.

I contacted the company directly and they where nice enough to let me buy one directly from them. They sell it for about 850 USD, but it might change depending on where you live and market rates. It's only 17 inch, but it's actually a good thing. When I am writing this I am in an office in paris and I could easily bring this baby with me on the airplane. A quick sketch from the Active screen tablet!

I am in Paris since they doing heavy construction on our apartment and my girlfriend wanted to visit her family. So a friend of a friend got me an office space at their artist studio. Very talented people! I still gotta work since I am in the middle of a big book project(can't tell you what it is yet).

James Patterson Cover!

2007-01-31T02:13:00.000-08:00

I was commisioned to do the cover art for James Patterson new book and they liked it! Can't wait to see my art on a gazillion books. Cross your fingers.

James Patterson is the bestselling author of the past year, bar none, with more than 12 million books sold in North America alone. In total, James's books have sold an estimated 130 million copies worldwide.

Here is a little panel from my ongoing comicbook project.. including a typo

What am I working on?

2006-10-16T15:14:00.000-07:00

I just finished some concept art for the american bestselling writer James Patterson. Probably the biggest illustration job I have ever done. Can't show anything all super secret.

Now I am preparing a pitch for an animated TV-serie we are trying to get started with Tussilago. Fråga Proffe, it means Ask Proffe(professor).

New Gallery!

2006-10-15T12:16:00.000-07:00

I am redoing my webpage and soon it will probably change name. Why? We'll mainly because I dont work so much with games anymore. Right now my focus is on movies, tv-series and comicbooks.

Don't get what happened?

2005-08-21T16:36:00.000-07:00

I posted a image from my comicbook... and now it's gone... I must have done something wrong.
Ooh we'll here it is again.

This comic page was done for a game that I created and a team developed for Xbox. I'll tell you more about that later...
