The last picture of 2010

Life is far from easy for this young high school woman.. Giving an unusual birth by the lockers, with a green skull watching, not giving her much privacy at all. Those empty skulleyes know how to look deep into the action.
The girl is based on Kelli Garners high-school sexcultleader from the movie "Normal Adolescent Behavior".. She liked to hang out like that, but there was no births in the movie.
On a sidenote, Id like to point out that I know that real babies dont grow out of the belly like that when the time of birth is there. Im in touch with the reality of that situation..

Two great friends.

I painted these as christmas gifts for my good friends Knut and Henning. The idea is to capture not just the person, but also some kind of animal from inside of the guys. Henning has a manmouse, one of his own creations. This is not some kind of hint that he is a mousein any way, more a homage to his off beat drawings, humor and general vibe. Knut has a wolf on his back, full of untamed energy and some eyes that wont sleep or even stay on the same site for too long. So, its a tribute to the restless nature of this particular individual.
