Since my last journal I have added a Deviant Id to answer a few questions that may come up. And i am going to ad new Q and A if needed. So watch that space.
As usual I am experimenting with a number of new things. You may se me submitting less art, but I am still working on a bit of this; and a bit of that. And now and then something quite deferent to keep developing my art. If my submission tomorrow isn’t better then the last one I made; then I hope that it is at least a bit deferent so it isn’t all to boring.
I have also submitted a few photos, and plan to submit a few more. It is not my intention to start a bigger collection of photos. And I am not really interested in starting a big discussion about them. So I may post some with comments disabled. It is just that i also do a bit of work with those photos, and may one day use them for deferent purposes. And also in a small attempt to broadening my audience a bit.

Se what happens when Maggie Simpson and her younger brother Eric travels back in time to meet The Simpsons of “today.” Se Maggie fight Sideshow Bob. And se the Simpsons kids internal arguing.

I am also coming up on 20000 page views. WOW.
There is probably not going to be any special drawings this time. I am for the time being busy doing the previously mentioned Simpsons Generations. But, hey, I might squeeze in a new drawing or fractal now and then.

Gary has before colored 50 pages until i started helping from page 23 of the second chapter. It is being posted at Gary’s site. [link] Ten new pages were posted recently, and I can let you in on a little secret, that more are ready for the next update.

Some of you have probably noticed that I have started using Artweaver to ad effects to some of my work. Simon Brown posted a smart little plug in the paint.NET forum. So now it is loot easier to move parts of a picture from paint.NET to Artweaver and back. [link]
Artweaver is a quite interesting program with an enormous amount of possibilities Stay tuned.

DA has just implemented a new look I think it looks quit good. I am experimenting a bit with it to find the best way to use it. My only concern is that some people will put to many things on there page, and thereby making it hard to spot the information you seek.

So I don’t know how much I will have the time to submit drawings and fractals before Christmas. Although I do hope to upload one or two Simpsons drawings before the end of the year.
One of them, I am just holding back, to have a sort of flow in my work and submitting.
But the other keeps giving me new ideas and inspiration i have to try. It may end up pushing me into doing some basic things a bit differently if I chose to go down that road. Loots of work and experimenting to be done. But it is fun, and isn’t that what it is all about.
On a deferent note, I do intend to continue my work on coloring the story SIMPSONS GENERATIONS. [link] So don’t worry Gary. And I will also continue making fractals for those of you who like that.

Lately I have been a bit out of ideas for Simpsons work. I have tried out some new techniques. But don’t always feel I have the big “killer” idea. There will be more Simpsons; but I cant say when.

On the other hand I have been looking at some tutorials for my fractal work, and I can see I have a loot of things to learn. SO you will probably se more fractals from me in the near future.

And then, I haven’t stopped my Simpsons drawings all together.
Jake [link] has made many great drawings, and many of them are part of his own fan fiction about The Simpsons.
Some time ago Gary [link] started coloring the drawings for the story SIMPSONS GENERATIONS and putting then on his website The Cutest Baby [link] .
Lately i have been involved in the coloring project. So now you can enjoy our combined work here: [link]

1: I tag no one. I prefer my friends to use there time making and posting art. And if we all tagged five people each time, DA would be flooded with this. I preferred to let it die.

2: I joined my first forum on 03-20-2006 and made my first post 03-21-2006 11:14 pm.

3: Apart from what you can se here, I have made a loot of grabpics. Some of them can be found at TCB [link]
LTBC [link]
and The Leftorium. [link]

4: I do care allot about your feedback about my work. I frequently check the popularity of my gallery. The comments; pageviews and faves is what makes me want to continue posting stuff. So please keep those comments coming.

5: What I make, is for fun, and only fun. Although I check the popularity of my submissions compared to each other; I make and post what I like to, and want to make.

6: I don’t do requests. Sometimes one person from MT2 can give me a challenge. But I don’t do requests. I newer know when I have the time to do this work, and I newer know when I am in the mood.

Ten thousand page views.
And 1686 Favorites.

WOW. Thank you all so very much.

I do all my DA work just for fun. Nothing more. Nothing less.
But it sure makes it a loot more fun when somebody actually goes to the trouble of clicking there way to my page. To look at it, and expresses there views by commenting and faving my work.

And do take the time to look in my favorites folder. I think those people I have faved are quite remarkable at what they do.

So once again. Thank you. Hope to se you visit my page again soon.

You might have noticed that I have caught an interest in doing abstract and fractal art. I find it rather interesting and challenging. But I promise you, that I do intend to make new Simpsons art whenever I get an idea I find interesting. But it is getting a bit hard these days. So expect a bit of ewerything.
If you are interested in the techniques I use for making my Simpson work; and generally The Simpsons, I usually hang around on MT2. [link]
We are a bunch of people who maybe talk like we know each other a bit to much. But if you get to know us, we are all nice people.

And remember, lots of my work is uploaded in 1024X1280 for download.

On a deferent note, I am still working on my Simpsons drawings. But also on some of the abstract pictures. There are so many possibilities in paint.NET.
So expect anything.

And then it will soon be a year since I joined Deviant Art. Make a big upload that day? Naa. I think I will just post them when I think they are ready.

See you soon.

Well, I wanted to play a bit with paint .NET. People familiar with that program and the latest plug-ins will surely realize that I have actually only taken advantage of a few features in that program.
So, I hope you enjoy this just a little bit. Comments are welcome.

Great thanks to all the people visiting my page. And to all of you who gave me and

I don’t think I can hide, that I am a Simpsons fan. There are several people in the Simpsons community that have helped me with comments on my work. I am a member in some Simpson’s forums. More or les active. But let me refrace Lisa’s catch line: If anyone wants me, I will bee on Multitalk 2. [link]

I am entirely using paint.NET for my work. I am not very active in the paint.NET forum, but I go there daily to look for updates, new plug-ins, and new tips. Manny of the members there knows a loot more then me about paint.NET. And they are all ready to share there knowledge. [link]

And two small trivia:
In case you haven’t noticed. I make some of my work in wallpaper size. Just hit download.
And, I have received a couple of notes requesting for particular drawings. But the way I work, I am not able to fulfill these. So don’t ask me. Sorry.

Today I passed 3000. Well; I sort of provoked the event by uploading new images yesterday. But anyway, I am very happy that you stopped by and looked.
I hope that you will come back again. I am working on several things. So I hope to make your next visit worth while.
Hope to se you soon again.
