A long time ago, in a country far, far away … I tried to write and draw my first comic. I was 13 at the time, and the result was - well, crap.

Severeal years later, I tried again. This time the result was a bit less crappy. But crap, all the same.

In the years that followed, I wrote tons of scripts for fantasy- and scifi novels. Most of these scripts were never finished, and only one got published. Which was fun. Offcourse. But writing novels takes an awfully long time - sometimes years. Phew …

Being the restless soul that I am, writing novels was, to be honest, nothing short of torture. I probably liked the idea of being a writer more than I actually enjoyed writing. My love for science fiction, fantasy and comics, and more importantly - puns, wordplay and jokes - never really left me, though.

In december of 2023, I was doing a 100 day sketching challenge, when an idea fell into my head, and I drew “Batnanaman”. My kids loved the joke, and I proceeded to drawing “The Invisible Hulk” and “Midlife Moody Tech Support Tortoises”, and the ball just kept rolling. I bought a Calvin & Hobbes Comic book (which I for some mysterious reason I didn´t read when I was younger), which led to me seeing a documentary on Bill Watterson - which led to … manic, obsessive drawing, and 24/7 notewriting on my phone.

I was hooked …

The ideas just kept coming, and coming, and coming, and … well, you get the deal.

The result is a single-panel comic, that aims at being just cheeky enough to be considered `A big bowl of good laughs, with a side order of wacky takes on the human condition´.

In PERKY POLAROIDS I get to play around with themes and characters I love, I get to cook up goofy wordplays, write short stories, sketch and draw - and at the same time say something significant about the human condition.

What could possibly be better?
