Truly marvelous!! Any plans to sell a print of the finished product?

I like the strawberry field.

"Noreg" :D (You skipped the dirty joke?! You are so classy!):) This is gonna be great (it already is) and I'm looking forward to seeing its further long and winding road to completion.

The thought crossed my mind, but my better half got to me

speech less pic I never seen such kind of the pictures!!!!
just say WooooooooOoooooooooooow!!!
Awesome pics.

Like Where's Waldo! Always brilliant. I like seeing the pencil drawing, to see where your ink comes from.

.haha looks great :)

looks awesome, so much detail!

LOVE the yellow submarine!

Inking over pencil is my favourite part of the drawing process.

Lovely drawing as usual.

It´s start to looks great!!!

Great lines

This is so incredibly cool! I loved your works in black and white, but I just love-love-love them in color :)

W.O.W!!!

You chose the perfect color of blue. This is just fantastic and I love it :D I think I could stare at your drawings for hours.

May I ask you what kind of ink did you use? Thank you. ：）

I use american eel from noodlers
thanks Sarah color is always difficult for me

thanks all

Es todo un placer ver tus trabajos Mattias, y si ademas nos enseñas tus herramientas mejor que mejor. Enhorabuena y un saludo.

That's awesome!!

Will this be available for purchase?

I love the colors! Thanks for sharing.

I love your drawing!! It's amazing.

If this is a print I think I need to have it.

I love it! :)

great! i'm glad you decided to post a progress shot, i was always curious how your sketch looks like :)

Amazingly wonderful! Beautiful, fantastic characters. Sublime detail. Love it!

at last an elaborated draw!! i like it, as always :)

Genial!

A Happy New Year to you too, Mattias :)

Amazing! Love looking at these.

always full of poetry...

waw, je reste sans voix !

I totally agree with Elizabeth! your work is just so inspiring!

Sounds like you’ve had a productive year, Karen. Wishing you all the best as you turn your WIP over to your beta readers. That’s where I’m at now, as well. As for goals for the new year: I’m planning to attend my first writing conference in May, and my plan is to have my current WIP ready to pitch by then.
Best of luck as you enter the agent submission process!

I think these meanderings we go through in our writing deepen it, even if we end up tossing out the actual words. Sometimes books need major overhauls.

You have an exciting year planned. I love Italy. Never been to Hawaii, but it’s a dream.

As for me, I want to polish my current wip and send it out next year and begin on a new book that has been gnawing at me for a few years. The time is right to put words to paper.

And huzzah to Andrea for winning the Kindle.

Sounds like you’ve done really well this year! I think revising my WIP will take me longer than planned, but if the extra time results in a better book, I’m okay with it. I hope to start the agent submission process in 2012 as well. It’ll be an interesting year!

Also, SO jealous about your upcoming vacations. Can I come with you?? ;)

Love your new blog layout. Super cute. Sounds like you’ve made so much progress this year. Good for you! I’m a wee bit jealous of Hawaii AND Italy. Lucky girl!

That’s terrific that you’ll finish it! Even if it needs more revision. I think I will but I aim high so I’m okay with where I’m at. I went through a bit of a slump in the fall where I didn’t get much done.

can phones....love the details you put in your drawings.

Genial!

Vivace!

Aaah!
It's great.
And great to watch them in progress.

BOOM! I love it.

Absolutely rockettastic!

Wow, wonderful! Like that kitty in the window and loose wire.

sooooo much detail, love it

The couple with the cans are my favs :)

!!!!!!!!!!!!cool !!!!!!!!!!!

Love the little faces in the window, so much great detail.

@jane I love them too! I wouldn't have noticed them without you pointing them out, so much details!

I’m so glad you’re finding a way out of your valley. Thanks for sharing your wisdom, too. It can be so tough, but it’s good to hear that we’re not alone.

Thank you for acknowledging that we’re all human, and we will all ride the roller coaster of emotions. I think we feel deeply as writers, and that can be dangerous for us, but also mean that we really convey those feelings in our work. I’m glad you are doing better.

(((Hugs))) I’m so glad to hear you’re feeling better. Pampering oneself and focusing on the good things is golden advice. I also agree that being in the feeling can help too. When I’m going through dark times I use it and pour it into my writing. It helps a lot. Great advice you’re dishing out here lady! ;)

Anne: Thanks! :) It’s definitely a process but there’s always light at the end of a tunnel.

Lisa: We do feel deeply as writers — one of the benefits is that it can be felt deeply by readers through our words.

Heather: Aw, thanks for the hug! We all go through these times at one point or another. For me, it makes me appreciate the good times even more! :)

Definitely ask for support! I think we often try to hide the truth whenever we’re feeling less than 100% and we only like to broadcast the good aspects of our lives (think Facebook posts and Twitter updates), but really, we can all build stronger relationships by reaching out to one another.

Lite nyfiken bara ... var börjar du? Mitt i eller i kanten? Har du en tanke om hur det ska se ut från början eller låter du handen "gå"?
Fantastiskt tecknat, som alla dina bilder!

My hand is cramping just thinking about it, but I love all the detail.

It's worth the pain!

I think you have outdone yourself this time. My hand aches for you! Can't wait to see it done!

eeek - no wonder!

...a visual treat. I say, put on a brace and carry on! We all want more! :)

My eyes-! X)

Oh my) Smth incredible))

What!!!???
You're my hero.

This is a particularly fascinating drawing, which gets at the core attraction I find in all your drawings: at a superficial level, it all 'reads' right, meaning, my mind says something silly like "Look at all those interesting windows!". And then I look closer, and I see mr Cthulhu, or a clock, or a spiral column, and my mind is still convinced it is real. I used to wonder, "How does he do this without a pencil guide line?". Now I simply accept that you do it.

Market place in a small park :D

ambicious proyect!!! continue so

Definitely a Market place, and a giant trying to barter with a scared little shopkeeper!

holy moly!
What about a school? Or uh a driving instruction park or a driving circuits or a circus or uhm...look at the size of that moleskin!!

There has to be a godzilla style battle somewhere.. or at least a thumb war :D

Church procession?
Major traffic jam on a street that leads into a wall?

Look nice so far ;)

More bicycles. A zoo.

Jag blir alldeles matt!

Too fantastic.

At last we get to see how you prepare your beautiful artwork.
It doesn't make it less impressive, of course...

Will you bring it to the fair?

the tractor on the roof!!!!

ExcellentWork
GoodCreations

those tennis players must lose a lot of balls

I am hoping they will bring a United Warfs to my hometown.

A family outing.

...at the farmer's market :)
Good luck at the fair!

Is that your kids over by the produce stand? ;)

absolutely incredible!!!!

Brilliant....OCD....but brilliant

That's really cool! I waited for the final version and it turned out great. So many details to sicover!:)You should make a "Busy Picture book" one day, where you have to find things or persons!

It's been wonderful seeing this unfold. Brilliant work, Mattias! :D

Incredible...

Great to see it finished! I like the monster truck following the monster down one street. Thanks for sharing!

This does not look like an artistic suicide at all.... Quite the contrary !
Best wishes

Nu har du överträffat dig själv - igen!Saknar ord!

WoW! Hittade hit via Asplund. Vilken detaljrikedom!Jag blir glad av din penna !

That movie will never be quite the same for me now. . .

Cool sketch! Love the concept behind this awesome one. Thumbs up!

Love the Z00 sketch.

I can't believe you've heard of that song! This is one spectacular motor!

I always had a soft spot for Alexei Sayle

Always such amazing details!

It would be great to see one of your ingenious and elaborate creations turned into a three dimensional object.

can i ask you?... do you make previous skechts before draw or begin to draw with pencil in the definitive paper?

Thanks all, Pablo no I always sketch on the actual paper. When I do commission pieces I sometimes have to switch paper because the image has changed to much

Another intricate and amusing drawing.

Although I love the finished one that you posted this one seems to keep my attention more. I really enjoy photos of works-in-progress. I love to see your beginning stages and pencil lines as well as the route to being completed! Please post more of these.
