Green men
The painting is called "Kinder" and it's a small one, 25 cm X 25 cm. In this one the main thing was to test different ways of making backgrounds. The colours look quite different in reality.

A pyramid painting
The painting is called "The Tourists" and it's a 36cm X 46cm, so not very big. I'm wondering if I should have made it a lot bigger. That way it would have been more impressive.
I made a small sketch for this one already in January. It actually turned out just the way I planned and I got to use my pyramid theme once again.

How the cities are built
So, now you know how they build their cities in the TV-headland. I named this painting "The Newcomers". The painting is a big one by my standards, 60 cm X 80 cm.
I started out with the green (a long time ago) and wanted to make a jungle painting, which I've been meaning to make for some time now, but well, it didn't happen this time. Maybe next time.
This time I didn't have any special inspiration, I just proceeded little by little. First I decided to make some of my elaborate buildings. Then I made the smaller cities and added the ufos. I think the ufos could pop up better from the background. They are too dark for the dark green and they look even darker in the picture than in reality.
Then the thing needed some TV-heads. The two were obviously not enough for me, because the white lines heading towards the cities are also small TV-heads (it might not come across well from the picture).

Winter break is over!
There has been a quite a long break since I posted my last painting. I blame the winter. I mean, who gets inspired by the coldness and darkness. No me. From now on there will be new paintings more often. I actually have many of them in the production line waiting to be finished.
This one started out with the intention of making something with just black, white and grey. As you can see the result is not very black and white. The grey balls were in a way inspired by the big earthquake in Japan. I saw on TV how an oil refinery was blazing with an uncontrollable fire. The refinery had these huge ball shaped storage tanks. The fire depatments trucks looked miniature compared to the oil tanks.
You see the unbelievable pictures of that blaze from this link.

The painting is called "The Meeting at the Spheres" (40cm X 40cm).

TV-heads are back
I like to make my TV-heads and I couldn't resist the temptation. The painting is called "It's coming". It's the biggest I have made this far. I would like to make more bigger paintings but I have some logistical problems (it's not nice to carry big ones). You could make the bases yourself, but I'm way too lazy and tecnically ungifted for that.
This painting was really fun to make and it actually looks good on the wall. I know it's missing an ufo or two. The ufo just didn't look good with the big TV-heads and color splatter.
Finally something new
I have been quite busy with other things and so I haven't had time to paint. Well, I have been painting something but those canvases are wainting to be overpainted. But now I have something finished.
I've been planning to paint a remake of my ufotree and now I did it.
The painting is called "After Ufofest". You can figure out why.

TV-heads
"Ufofest" is the name of my latest very colorful TV-head painting (40cm X 20cm). This one has been in the making for months and I nearly overpainted it more than once. The painting started out with the idea of filling the whole canvas with colorful ufos. The ufos turned out to be way too small (again) compared to my plan but I still kept making them with some leftover paints. Then once I accidentally dropped some red paint on the canvas. That incident ruined the whole thing, so I tossed some more red paint on it just for fun of it. I intended to overpaint it, but then decided to try how it would look as a background for my TV-headed ufomen. I kind of like the end result but I have received some comments of the blood weeping ufos being scary looking.
Next time there will be no TV-heads, I promise.
