Since you have been thusly misled into believing I produce any work of artistic merit, I urge you to take a peek through the categories “Comics” and “Sketch of the day” (the menu to the right of this post. That should set the record straight.

If you’re still not convinced of my hackery after that, surf on to the workblog of my current project, Astoria and judge for yourself.

I am very sorry about the inconvenience!

I want an audience to reflect my razor (t)wit. That’s why, in celebration of my upcoming 3,333rd tweet, I’m launching a quick contest.

The rules are simple:
1. The 9 tweeps to get me most followers by the time I post my tweet no. 3,333 win the nine prizes (see below)
2. New followers must tweet me your Twitter @-name as a vote for you — as in “hey @haverholm, I’m a new follower. @astoriaalbum sent me”

The prizes, however, are the cream of the crop:
For the person who have gotten me most new followers (and have instructed them to vote correctly), the Grand Prize is one signed color original!

Second Prizes, for the three tweeps to have earned me slightly less followers: One signed and inked b/w original each!

The following five runners-up win each their own customized, signed print!

Tell you what, if this gets me above 500, I’ll throw in a signed copy of my Resistansen book with each prize!

Prizes will be mailed flat at lowest available cost. All handmade by me, sorry.

Now, I am currently some 40 tweets away from the 3,333 mark, which under normal circumstances should give you a day or two to compete… Go!

A keen observer, Derik notes: “Like the songs on a well-crafted mix tape, the images have their own separate identity, yet, by placing in juxtaposition, the reader (listener) attributes some meaning to the choices and ordering.”

I have been following Derik’s blog for a year or two now, and finding him on Twitter, I was delighted that he showed some interest in the Astoria Project in time for MoCCA.

Meeting him there, we had a short chat and I abrasively pushed my entire catalog on him. It turns out, judging from the review, he didn’t mind too much

I’m looking very much forward to what he might have to say about future publications!

Crime, sci-fi, speculative science, romance, and the lowest of brows in humor are regular features those places; sometimes in comic form, even. Shudder!

Over the next couple of weeks I’ll be blogging about some of the stuff I’ve read while holed up in a Norwegian cabin.

Keep your eyes peeled for Modesty Blaise! Rip Kirby! All sorts of Wild West crap!

A big round of applause to Ulf Reese Næsborg who fixed the stray code that messed things up!
