The Bird Feeder / iPhone




This was a stack of straw on top of two poles leaning on to each other on the yard in Tullgarn, Sweden. I've seen the similar contraption in my childhood when visiting my grandparents. This time I decided to record it by drawing it with my iPhone.

Whilst watching Beetlejuice last night, I drew this with the iPhone.

Poster version of The Girl, the Gun and the Robot



Except, one might argue that boobs are cooler. Some, at least.

Another Girl



Started with SB Mobile, continued on Sketchbook Pro.

A Guy and a Gun / iPhone Sketch



Another one of those, I'll do this while doing nothing.

Xmas Animation & Calendar IRL



Looks better in real life. But for this I did green-screening, 3D-modeling, animating and a whole bunch of other stuff. And – as usual – besides designing the stuff, I also did the actual production work for all of it.

A Girl, a Gun and a Robot



All in one picture. The robot I drew is most likely inspired by my childhood favorite anime, Techno Police 21c  .

Forum Xmas Screen



Well this took a while to render. Done with Blender and composited with AE. Snow done in Blender also, according to this tutorial.

Blender Snow

Since it's Christmas, I'll have to try this out:

Slide Show Boob

Getting worse.


Side Show Boob

Completely and utterly tasteless, I know. But I'm out of control. I work in advertising.

BSAS / Fish&Fish

I did this animation last Spring at Taivas for the Baltic Sea Action Summit together with art director Jyrki Poutanen, copy Timo Silvennoinen and Jason Ramsey as the voice talent. The fishes have been designed by Grégoire Thomas .

Husky Rescue

I've been working now on the Husky Rescue site, with the visual lead of Lasse Kangasmaa who is basing it on Kustaa Saksi's album work. Here's a snapshot of the preview- / teaser-page :



My job is to make interesting, freaky animation and code that is visually responsive (to audio) and interesting.

Rujo Cover Art

It's pretty cool to see your own cover art & design in places like Spotify.

iPhone SBM Continued with SB with MacPro



Not much to write here, just a sketch.

Taivas Webpage Update

Only a small update, I did in between Taivas Lab-graphics and such ... one "animation" more. Though more to come. Seriously though, I've been recently feeling like Jim Henson's Time Piece.

Taivas Lab / Visual Work

Recently, at work, I've been responsible for making the Taivas-webpage look and be like this. The other thing I've been responsible was making visual materials for Taivas Lab. Today I illustrated the office entrance like this:








iPhone Painting / Autodesk SBM


Super Mario Time!


While waiting After Effects to finish the render queue, I have a lot of time in my hands. This time I decided to use it well and draw a little bit in real life. It's quite accurate to what I was feeling during the day.

In The Beginning There Was a Cube Part 3



So I did something with the 3D-model ...

22 November 2009

In The Beginning There Was a Cube Part 2 / Blender







I did some mesh-beveling in edit-mode ([w], then select bevel), extruding in this. After falling asleep while watching Transformers 2 -dvd I could not help but to design a robot that's closer to my aesthetic taste. No, I was not inspired by Michael Bay – but actually the lack of the original character designs from my youth .

Once I started thinking about the robot, I could not stop. Again I started without a sketch (except the one I did in bed last night, that looks nothing like this model) as I started extruding the cube.

There's still a lot of work to be done, but I'm going somewhere with this – anyways, this was easier than I thought. Now I can elaborate on this.

Let's Make Some Noise!

Couple of quick noise solutions for Flash:

· Regular noise in Livedocs
· Terry Paton's and Perlin Noise

A Certain Type of Fullscreen Flash Webpage

I've done it several times. This certain type of fullscreen Flash page, where you have a large background image or video, which needs to be scaled so that it will still be in the picture, but no matter what the shape and size of the browser-window rectangle is, it'll still cover everything, scaling it to be as big as needed.

I've done it several times, sure. But I always forget how to do it. So here's my latest piece in code, as a memo for me. Due to time-issues, this is in AS2.

Drawing of the day


Type on the Screen




So I made these type animations for the Forum-screen this time. Irina (finnish artist, under EMI) is mashed up with it, because she's having a gig at the Forum-shopping center.

I guess here you can somewhat witness the screen's power when it comes to size. Partly filmed from a cafe near-by, it really can capture your eye.

Made with Blender and AE.

The AD was Jyrki Poutanen and the copy-writer was Timo Silvennoinen. Mainly they were making sure I didn't do anything too crazy with my free hands. And surprisingly we ended up with nothing crazy at all, just a few nice 3D-type transitions (spin, etc.) ...




Here's the animation with out the reality of led-raster or the space between the led-mats:

Another Guy / SBM


Forum Logo in 3D



This logo I modeled from it's fake 3d-state in to real 3D and animated with Blender. In the reflections is a video of two girls have lived for months in the Forum-shopping center.

This version of the logo was used on the big screen and in TV-commercials.

Web Concept I Drew Couple of Years Ago



This was a web-page concept I drew for a long-drink. They still use it.

A Guy with a Scarf






So again made with iPhone and SBM. Retouched slightly with Photoshop.

A Man / Sketchbook Mobile

Red Nosed Guy / Sketchbook Mobile






I have to admit. I love the iPhone, and I love sketching with it. A bit too much.

13 November 2009

More iPhone Sketching





So I'm getting more and more comfortable with the Alias Sketchbook Mobile. It's really fun and worth it's almost ridiculously low price. Added to that it must look so stupid when I'm sketching on my way to work in the metro.

On the upside there's no way of telling whether I'm now working or just playing Monkey Island with the iPhone. Wait ... is that a good thing?

Cell Development / Comicbooks




Here you can witness how a couple of the cells I made for my graphic novel developed and how I treated them afterwards before inserting them as spreads or cells.

The Last One in Slideshare

After bumping into the Slideshare-application in LinkedIn, I decided to put my comicbook here also. You can still buy it here.

It's kinda cool to finger paint with the iPhone and this app ...

Just a quickie with Cintiq, SBP and Photoshop.

Face / Blender

I did this on my laptop while watching CSI, without any sort of plan or specific design in my head. And it still needs a lot of work, but again a good start.





After I added multi-res, I still had some problems with a couple of vertices. Nothing that a manual "delete and rebuild" wouldn't fix.






I started with a box, added a mirror modifier to it, deleted unnecessary vertices and extruded [e] , knifed [k] , scaled [s] vertices, edges and faces from there on.
