Wanted [Comic]

I've read the comic Wanted a few weeks ago but haven't gotten around to review it just yet.


"Average Joe"-type of guy finds out his dad is an infamous villain that is part of a large organization of criminals ruling the world after they had battled out all the superheros in the grand battle a decade or two ago.

This is the starting plot in a great read with quite adult content, no not that kind of adult, but explicit language and sex scenes and such. For a generation like me that is brought up on "Bamse" and "Donald Duck" it is great to see the bad guys actually beating the crap out of the good guys and so on.

The way Weslay finds this out is in many ways a parallell to what Nemo does in Matrix and in the same way I can't help but seeing how similar the character Wesley and Eminen are and even more so his "fan" Stan.

All in all you get what you expect, some twists and turns, not overly thick plot, but greatly drawn panels in a colored realistic modern way - exactly how I like my comics.

But what is more important this brings me one step closer towards unwrapping the plastic around my "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns"
Mark Millar - Frank Miller ... so similar names, yet they play in different leagues.

See you next Batbloggpost, same Battime, same batchannel.

What would Banksy do?

The girl of my dreams, woman of my life, live-in, friend, lover and apparantly soon-to-be partner-in-crime. Came up with an idea or if it rather was a "dream" she shared I am not to sure which.

But she thought it would be cool to make a stencil and post somewhere - something that was our own. Well if this isn't our own then I don't know what. Time will tell where it'll end up. But be sure to look out on the city's walls while in Oslo next time


For those of you that are inclined to crime and would even consider making one yourself, here's how to:
  1. While in Photoshop - Image - Desaturate
  2. Image - Posterize (2 levels)
  3. Filter - CutoutClean it - make sure there's no isolated areas of white, can't cut that way.
  4. Trim uneven edges and simplify graphics
  5. Print
  6. Cut with a razor or scalpell
  7. Tape it up on the designated spot
  8. Spray - remove paper - watch it dry
  9. Enjoy the new streetcred earned!

My Baby's Coming Home


När morgonsolen börjar värma sovrummet
När vinterns bruna träd väcks till liv med grönskande blad
När syrenernas knoppar varslar om den väldoft som komma skall
När russens glada tillrop och framtidstro skänker hopp om framtiden
När Nordmarka lockar med långa promenader runt tjärn och sjö

Det är då jag får hem dig till denna stad i försommardräkt
Det är då jag blir hel igen
Welcome home love - in three days, three long weeks are over!
