He began drawing<\/strong> as late as in 2015, starting out with the cynical and angry cartoon character Batongen (\u201dThe Blackjack\u201d). He then went on to draw and interpret various buildings in his home town. He soon developed a minimalistic strict style with thin lines, but always some lop-sided parts or skewered perspectives, keeping the drawings alive and personal. He has had a couple of exhibitions, and also made illustrations for a book of poems by Joakim Becker. His drawings of buildings in Malm\u00f6 has appeared in an article on architecture in a local magazine, and he also contributed with illustrations for an anthology about Swedish author Fritiof Nilsson Piraten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
