And another from the same arc. I remember this being my most ambitious work on Bruce of the year, at least scale-wise. Sometimes I'd knock out some really nice panels, other times I'd clearly cut corners due to time constraints.
Time constraints I'd only put on myself, but still!

Here's the complete comic. It's part of a larger narrative I'm chipping at. Hopefully you'll see more of these characters and the war they're fighting sooner than later. #restcomicstrip2025 #comics #fantasy

A handy thing about the word "Artificial" in Icelandic: It can be a synonym for "imitation," "synthetic," "disguise," "impostor," and "fake."

The only thing I'm getting is a bit of Mr. Freeze, but I think that's just down to a combination of color scheme and silhouette. I think you're safe!

Yesterday was the end of @gamemakersiceland.bsky.social Summer Game Jam 2025. I contributed art and animation to Ferry Fury, a game about ferrying a priest past a massive tidal wave.

I've been battling depression and artist's block since at least November. Last night I doodled this guy in about a minute and it's the first thing I've felt good about sharing this whole time.

My dayjob cut my workhours recently, so I'm looking for more art-related work. Hit me up if you're in the market for fun, colorful cartoons!

Just finished a reread of SEXCASTLE by @thekylestarks.bsky.social. It's a sharp, quippy loveletter/send-up of '80s action movies as well as an indictment of toxic masculinity. Still my all-time favorite comic!

1. I want to consistently produce and post more comics about my birdy boys.
2. I want to finish a full draft of my graphic novel about adventure cats I'm working on with Karítas Gunnarsdóttir.
3. Some more paying gigs would be nice! Hit me up if y'all need a writer, artist or editor.

Two years ago, I translated and published an Icelandic edition of @scottmccloud.bsky.social 's seminal Understanding Comics (with help from @atlathewriter.bsky.social and the Icelandic Comic Book Society). Today we are officially out of stock. I'll have to look into a reprint for next year.

@barbarianlord.bsky.social finally got around to Barbarian Lord and enjoyed it very much! I think you did a great job capturing the tone of the Sagas. I also got a kick out of the enchanted sheep!
