Hi John! I´m working as a comic artist for the Swedish comic “Bamse – the strongest bear in the world” and my work for Bamse take a lot of my time. Now and then I like to make a Duck drawing just because I love the Disney ducks so much.

 

I have thought of writing and drawing my own Duck comic but I know that would take a lot of time to complete and I don’t have a lot of spare time at the moment. If I was paid to write and draw Disney comics that would put things in a different light.

 

I have applied as a Disney artist for Egmont in Copenhagen three times but I haven’t been accepted yet. For one of these applications I wrote and drew my own two page Donald Duck comic. I will show it here on DeviantArt later when I have the time to scan and paint the pages.

That sounds quite interesting :D Looking forward to it and looking forward to having you in the Disney salons soon my friend :D
I mean, you are awesome, and there are some other Duck artists who just...don't have it, so I just don't see why you're not being accepted.

Thank you very much for your encouragement my friend! I think you have to have some luck too – to apply at the right moment when they are in need of new artists. One thing's for sure - I will keep trying to reach my goal!

Just check Don Rosa and how he became a Disney artist. It's all about luck. And your style misses nearly nothing compared to his, my friend :D
Keep it up

I have a lot to improve but I think I'm on the right track.
Thanks for all kind words!
