I really wanted to draw a goat's skull. No other reason for this picture really.

Work 7: Big Cats In Duo- Tone (2011)




I like drawing big cats for some reason. I used reference pictures for these. Colouring is something I'm not that good at so a prefer to use just two or three colours, but I like that makes the pictures look dynamic and sort of cartoon- like, and you can communicate different feelings through different colours.

Work 6: Difficult


I was playing with a rubik's cube one day and came up with this "joke" of comparing a diificult person to the said cube. I think it was pretty funny, so I made it into this comic. The photo quality is not very good, but it was not the main point in the picture.
Tools: Photoshop CS2, Lumix G1

Work 5: Sunset At The Cove


I'm not much into scenery pics, but for this one I happened to be at the right place at the right time. The sun, the boat, the rocks... everything is in the right place and the colours are beautiful.
Tools: Lumix G2

Work 4: Waiting (2011)


I wanted to try get as many "clones" in one picture as possible, without it looking unrealistic and I quite like how it turned out.

Work 3: Self- portrait (2011)


Basically just a simple self- portrait, but I like it very much myself.
Tools: Photoshop CS2, Lumix G1

Work 2: Reflections (2011)




These are also early ones, that's why the quality is not very good. Most people I've shown these to like the first picture best, but I prefer the last one. It's amazing what kind of stuff you come up with when you just point the camera at a mirror and start posing.

Work 1: Garden Of Illusions (2011)


This is one of the first photomanipulations I ever made that was any good. I quite like the colour scheme in this one, the contrast of blue and yellowy green.
