Hey guys!

I felt it was time for some kind of update before christmas and new years. I'd planned to make a painting to accompany this post with as well, but work has just been crazy lately so it's put on hold until I get some free time.

Workwise it's basically just been about Oblivion for a while now. I barely have time for any other project or job. But what is Oblivion?



"From Joseph Kosinski, visionary director of Disney’s TRON LEGACY, comes a science fiction tale unlike any other.

In a post-apocalyptic Earth, civilization lives above the clouds and scavengers illegally collect artifacts from the polluted and destroyed surface below. But when one young scavenger discovers a crashed spacecraft planetside- and a beautiful woman within- he rejoices at the find. Little does he realize that his discovery will lead him to a journey filled with romance, adventure and unimaginable danger."

Quote from Radicals site, tho story is still being developed. First of all, the painting above is not made by me but by the very awesome [link] (like that bastard needs another plug... )
So anyway, my job is to create ~40 concept illustrations for this story developed by Kosinski and Radical, and it's going to be released as a "hybrid graphic novel" in wide screen format, giving the book a very cinematic feel. It will feature a variety of paintings by me, some the most complex pieces I've ever done and some very.. well different from what I usually paint!

This project is also going to be developed into a movie, but I'll have more info on that later. I wish I could post some teasers but unfortunately you're gonna have to wait another six months for that. :/ But hopefully it'll be worth the wait!
In the meantime I'll do my best to make some personal pieces for you (and for myself as well, I need to clear my head from work soon I think).



That being said, I once again want to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone for all the comments, mails and notes I recieve! You've all made 2009 a great year for me and a big part of my progression as an artist is thanks to all of you and your amazing support! Also I want to apologize deeply for not being able to answer most of you.. If you have any questions or concerns or simply want to yell at me for being so boring, please leave a comment here and I'll try get you a proper answer

If not, I hope you'll all have a merry christmas, or happy holidays if you're not into santa, and a happy new year!! Let's make 2010 a great one!

Oh, and Bonzo says hi!

Best wishes,
