Luna girl

One project I 'm working on currently is Luna girl. Some seven years ago I was contacted by the people from Device Bondage, who asked me if I could develop a super heroine figure. She was to be called Luna girl, and apart from being a super heroine, she also was a princess. AND she should ran into a lot of bondage problems, created by her arch nemesis, the sorceress Zorell.

I came up with a sketch, mailed it to them and received a positive reaction.

The only complaint was that she looked a bit to old, and could I make her a bit leaner? So in the end, she came to look like this.

I started working on the first book (there are now four titles out, I believe; I have just completed the cover for number five) I would get a kind of synopsis and a few descriptions of what the drawings should look like, and the cooperation has been nothing less than wonderful up until this very day.

One day however, I was just surfing around a bit, and to my surprise I came across a Luna drawing by someone else. I looked around a bit more and it turned out that a whole lot of people had been picking up my design and ran with it.

Although I will admit that I was a bit annoyed at first, right now I'm totally fine with it, and even consider it an honor, and I'm always curious in what kind of predicaments I will find her. Go Luna!

From idea to reality

One of the greatest things that can happen to an artist, is seeing your work brought to life. It happened to me a couple of times, mostly by the hands of the brilliant Jeff Gord.

I had invented the contraption above, in the Brick cover, some thirty years ago, and I had used it several times, in comics and in single pics. I call it the Frog bench, for obvious reasons. 

Now I had met Jeff once, as he and his wife came to visit me, some twenty years ago. He had seen a bit of my work an...

Jeff is sorely missed.

Below are a few pages I made, I don't know , maybe fifteen years ago? Around then, I thought it might be fun to explain to my members, what went through my head as I was working, why I made certain choices etc. I called these pages 'The Work Floor pages' and I've made quite a lot of them. Maybe this blog is a good medium to revive the idea!

But for now, here's a blast from the past...

No dignity

Over the years I have often returned to tickling as a subject for my drawings. I just love the involuntary reactions, and the embarrassing poses and situations that result from them.

Cover

A few years ago, I made three books on tickling for a company that has specialized in this subject for years: MTJ publishing. The series was called Sensitive Spots, and I think those books are still on offer at their site.

Over the years, I have done a lot of these. I call them 'Fake covers', an apt name I think, because there are no actual stories to go with them...

In this way, I've done book covers, magazine covers, comic book covers...

Insignificance

With this, I am trying to make the subject of the drawing more mainstream, bringing it in the real world, bringing it closer and therefore enhancing the impact it will have (hopefully)
