As long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the consept of the Samurai warrior. / Manga has also had some influence on this picture, even though I was hardly ever exposed to it through my childhood. / But the last ten years, as I have been working only with graphics, and with perfecting my drawing skills. / And it is through this work that I have been exposed to Manga a lot, and I think it has influenced me quit a bit, and it shines through especially in my character design. / If you like this picture, you might enjoy this one as well Ore maybe this one… Enjoy and have a good time :-)

This is a promotional picture I made last year. The guy in the picture is Frank Sinatra. And it was a real mugshot. So I guess he had a criminal youth

Well here we are again. This is one of my so called “while talking on the telephone” doodles. / Especially those little ideas, that very often end up being classified as tees, they very often start out as a subconscious doodle on what ever is available while I’m on the phone. / And then maybe at a later stage (a moment when I maybe stay in danger of getting bored), I refine the doodle i Photoshop, and before you know it, I have a new character ore something. / In this case it is another on in a series I’m working on. They all have the same features, with just a ball for a head, and that’s it. Legs, arms ore any hardware is just stuck right on to the head. / But every one of them has features that are distinct for just that one character. And that feature usually indicate a profession ore/and an archetype. / So here’s another one, let’s see if anybody want some Norwegian design on their tee. But I also have more devious and evil bloody imagery on print and canvas too… ore more like Maybe this is your style? Peace and love to you all :-) /

Don’t ask where this idea came from :-) Sometimes I get really worried when I see some of the stuff that comes out when I give it free float he he

My mother phoned me one morning and said she had a dream with a great T-shirt design in it..???!! / ok mom…..I said (and thought What next!) / And she went on describing. OK I need to explain. For 22 years my mother and I lived in different parts of the world, and away from the rest of the family. / They reside here on Stord in Norway. We are both of an adventurous nature, so after I passed 18 we saw little of each other for more than 25 years (stayed in contact most of the time). For the last 19 month though, we have rented houses 100 meter apart from each other, and of course this has been incredibly nice (especially for my son Ivan 16, whom have had little chance to get to know his granny before this). But in a month I am moving to Denmark (if I can work out everything in time….if not a little later :-), and this situation has us paying a lot more attention to each other than usual, thees days. / Also as I have been working on this design, she has been coming by a few times to see how it turned out (she usually don’t have an awful lot of interest for design… not more than anyone else I would presume). And the other morning she gave the design her “go ahead” :-) So this is it, first collaboration piece of art made by my mom and me ( her first one ever…!!!) P.S. The other day she told me she wanted a sawing machine, but couldn’t afford one on her pension, so I have decided to save the money this tee brings in, and buy her one. P.S. She won’t be alone when I go to Denmark. I have two married brothers with five kids among them also living here. And also both my kids will be around. POS

This is just one of those pictures that develops as you go. / It started with a sketch of the guy with the hat, and then I realized that he needed someone to hold his hand, thus the monkey. / Then I scanned, and put it together i Photoshop. As I went on the backdrop slowly evolved in my fantasy, and I fleshed it out as I went along…. By the way, I am testing out a new display system I’m working on. / You see I’m in the proses of setting up another blog where I can focus only on the sales of my art and different stuff with my art on it, and I want to show how the pictures look on the wall. So I have drawn a few rooms to hang my pictures in. / Hope you like it…. POS / /

DJ
by Per Ove SleenLately I have been trying out another inking technique and I have tried to simplify my designs down to the absolute necessary. / This is my third attempt at this way of going about it, and I must say myself that I am a lot more satisfied with this design than earlier character designs I did before I started to simplify things. / It is obvious that the old mantra about minimizing everything down to a minimum is something to pay close attention to. / Simplicity is the word ladies and gangsters… POS

Hooray! I got my money!!!
by Per Ove SleenOK ok sounds dramatic, but it is just that I got my first check...
OK ok sounds dramatic, but it is just that I got my first check from the bub yesterday, and it felt SO good. / RB has been a small part in a long and hard research round I have done over the last two years. / I am planing to get on the road with my band again, and that could easy end up taking two – three years. / So I am aiming for a web setup that sort of makes my art and music sales continue selling without me tending to it more than 4 – 6 hours a week (done on the move with a laptop). / The research I have done is to find out what is the best way to go about this. / RB turned out to be somewhat of a key component for my art sales in many ways, even though the sales I have had so fare hardly makes a dent in my economy. / But that is not the point, the point here is the many potentials RB represents both in marketing and in getting to know key persons that you can team up with to make way to a mutual goal, and in the process get to know more people to work with next time around

Competition in my own family

I want to show you that I am not the only creative person in my family. / You see as I am doodling away on our Napoleon project my mom has been knitting this most fantastic pullover after old Norwegian tradition… She is working full time (68 years old/young), but still she managed to knit this marathon job in less than two month. / She knits as she watch TV!! / / The flipped out model is my son Ivan Sleen Andersson… / You see it has been knitted as a birthday gift to my brother Inge, but he was not available as the shot was made …and as you might have guessed Inge is about twice the size of my son :-) I’ve also published the picture here on my picture blog POS

This is the opening picture for the Napoleon Bonaparte video/graphic novel I’m in the process of putting together in corroboration with MuskularTeeth (the one were we hope to bring in more of you nice people to participate). / This was one of the last pictures I had to finish, so now it is only two three pictures left until I can send it over to Mr Teeth for video editing and sound…. For anyone interested, you can see the rest of the pictures right here POS

This is the motive I have made for a band I am doing the CD cover and all the rest of what ever they need for marketing (blog, posters, tickets and so on) for. / The bands name is Tassili (the on who walks) and they do the most exciting music I’ve heard since I was made aware of our very own muskularteeth / The sort of music they play has been called “Sahara Blues” (cool he?) in the media the last year ore so (here in Norway anyway). For those of you having problems with such things, THEY ARE NOT MUSLIMS. but atheists (I think) from Morocco and Norway. / You see if they were in any way religious (ore as I see it not intelligent, open minded, including and learning/spiritually eveolving humans) I wouldn’t work for them….simple as that. / Christians and muslims, budists and sun worshipers is to me all the same. It has no place in a modern society built upon science, logic and reason. / I guess in that way I am a bigot. / I also never did any gigs ore briefs for ANY political unit what so ever. Never as a musician ore as a graphics artist and Illustrator. / I am also contemplating giving up contributing to the marketing efforts of various companies, cos I believe it is bad and very wrong what most of them do, and that goes for me to as long as I let them use my skills to peddle shit we didn’t know we needed til they convinced us it is so. This in turn keep us in debt and stuck in some shit job working for the man and our morgage. / Art is art, and must not prostitute itself. Neither for religion nor politics. / Cos then we are lost. Without a provoking art scene, humanity is lost….believe me if you must believe something. I believe in art, freedome and the right to provoke at any time and place….also religions witch I DON’T consider holy…(goes for all of them). POS / /

I did this picture for the header of my graphic novel about Napoleon. / First I sketched it with pencil on paper, scanned it in to Photoshop where I inked and colored it. POS

A photo I put together of 6 different photos I shot in Oslo Norway this summer.
-
This is another shot I captured in Oslo this summer (2008). / It’s a very special part of town. It used to be a cheap run down place for artists and people with little money. But it got renovated, and the yuppies moved in with their stuff. So here we are. ....Looks nice though. The red building is what we in Norway call “Vinmonopolet”. It is the only place in town one can buy wine and booze. / It is one or more like this in every town in Norway. It is a stately monopoly. If you live in the sticks, you gotta go to town to get booze or wine for diner…stupid of course, but that is Norway in a nutshell….shit place…I’m leaving. Looks nice though :-) POS

Well there is not much to say about this one, I’d rather have you make your own mind go Wilde in this case. POS / Click here or at the picture and see it big size

Another result of a lethal doodle addiction. / Even though I was actually working on something else when this guy just kind of decided to materialize on my pad…so here we are. You can click here / or on the picture under, and you’ll see the motive in a bigger format. POS

Same as the other Viking Crusader pic I have, but this one without Photoshop enhancements. / This makes it possible for me to post in a group with strict rules on posting inked work on paper. / This picture was first sketched on standard printing paper straight out of the tray, then first I inked it on a standard issue drawing pad (Panduro hobby A4 Sketch Pad), but both my inking and the paper was useless, off I went again to the store to scout. / You see I live way out in the wilderness so to say, on a tiny island named Stord up on the Norwegian west coast. The art supply avilable around these parts are scarce to put it mildly. So it is a question of making due with what you can lay your hands on. / There used to be a well stocked print shop down the road, but it went bust last year, so I am left with a new art supply store and a book store with office appliances as a sideline. / OK I have managed to come up with a very good solution for ink pens and markers sold at the book store. I stick with the new series from Edding. They have a pen for every purpose, and they are very dynamic, thus provides a huge span in line thickness within each pen/marker. And they come with a great super black ink. No shininess or any disturbing pen marks in the black areas. And it has the same colour as most printer ink. They are totally opaque and fantastic for producing original drawings for sale. I will make an article about this on my blog in near future. / But back to the paper, like I said I wanted to ink it over again on better paper. / I went to the art supply store and bought a small stack of paper especially for inking it said. / It was from panduro as well and came in an expensive stack of ten sheets A4 Ink Paper it said…..fu… useless the wrapper contained no information on what this was or even if it was acid free. The ink bled worse than on the cheap crap….so I gave the rest to the kindergarten next door and went back to scouting…..I bought another pad this time (lot cheaper). / It’s a French product from Canson (A4 18 1/2” X 11 3/4”) it was 70 gram pr square centimetres. It carried 100 sheets of bleed free XL Marker paper. / This turned out to be a lot better, even though not quit what I am looking for. But as my mom always used to say…you can’t be fuzzy when you’re camping :) so this is what I am stuck with at the moment, but in a week or so I am off to Bergen city to look at a studio for recording my next album. Then I’ll stock up on real shit from the comic art supply shop they have there…. The process is simple. I sketch on basically any old shit floating about…and sometimes I buy sketch pads. I us a standard technical pen for easy lead feed. / The sketch get scanned in to Photoshop, where I clean it up if needed. And sometimes I use Photoshops excellent tool set for small corrections and little changes in composition…. / Thereafter I print the result out on a piece of paper better suited for inking. This also gives me the chance to start over if something goes haywire (like your cat walks over the wet inking, or your partner in life decides to surprise you from behind just as you lay the final touch….and so on).... / Well I guess that’s it for now folks :) POS / 2009

Had to take a little break from my band project, so it was back to practising my inking technique (to be honest this little sketch has been floating about my studio for a week as I have been busy getting stuff together for our band effort, but I always need something to switch to every now and then or I’ll get bored very easy…comes from my A.D.H.D. I presume), so this morning it was just finished..so here we are. / This time around I have been trying to do something with a hard rounded and shiny surface…hence the body armour…I also tried to avoid hatching as fare as possible…and NO cross hatching what so ever…I have discovered that cross hatching totally messes up a neat clean comic inking…like this one for instance…cross hatching would have totally ruined the cool surface here… POS / 2009

This is the start picture in a graphic novel I just started drawing. The name of the baby is “The St. Pauli Blues” and the episode is called “The Accountant”. / I am planning to have this made for myself (as soon as I can afford) huge!...most likely a print from the bubble of course. I have now finally seen some of their prints in real life, and I must say I am impressed and wants a few for my studio… / The drawing was both sketched and inked directly on to the final paper used for the actual inking process. / But first I printed a very weak copy of the contours of the photo I used for reference (found on Flickr) on to the paper. I traced the contours of the photo by hand trace on my home made light table, and then scanned them. I also had a copy of the photo on screen as I was sketching and inking to look at for the details. / The paper in question is Canson XL Marker paper. / It’s a A4 70g 100 sheets of paper pad. I do warmly recommend this product for working with markers. / The pens used for this final rendering is exclusively Edding pens of various thickness and dynamics. The Edding series is another product I recommend for artists at all levels. They are refillable (not the real thin ones…but they last very long), and has an incredible dynamic range. It is no problem faking brush strokes at all if wanted. The ink is real good and pitch black.. and they are very much avilable all over. They beat Sharpies by a long stretch on all the important issues. I hope the picture is to some ones taste, to an extend where they’d like to stick it on their living room wall….or the loo :-) Thanks for checking out my art….have a nice and creative life all of you
