Artist's Comments

I've been working on this for a long time, now. I'm really satisfied with how it came out. I was inspired by the one you can buy at IKEA but I wanted a more original picture (No, it isn't especially original but it's a less known pose).

The first time ever I used acrylics. I've been working on ite for over two months (mostly delayed because of Frets on fire's addicting gameplay). But I've only worked on it for about seven hours. I've been watching different movies meanwhile. I only remember three; Snålvatten och jäkelskap, Narnia and Beetlejuice.

thank you. I Tried making as few lines as possible without making it look thin (in lack of better words).

I eat meat because it tastes good and to piss off animal rights activists.

I always do the fly in my pictures. I just like it. It looks so bad compared to the actual drawing or painting.

This character is called moomin. It's a Finnish character originally called mumin in Swedish wich was the language the original books were written in.
