armwrestling for cartoonists



The publishing house Aben Maler will be publishing a zine with the different duels among danish comicbook artist, cartoonists, fine art artists and illustrators. 16 artist will meet each other in duel. The winner continiues to the second round, and so on until a winner is found. I lost my first duel to comicbook artist Cav Bøgelund

The way these duels take place is: artist A draws himself in a frame, then artist B response to this, draws himself in + draws himself into frame 2 and emails it to Artist A, who draws his response.....etc..etc.. email back and forth and after 10-12 or ? many frames a winner is found.

My duel was printed in Euroman March issue (equivalent til GQ Magazine in the US) and all the duels will be in the Aben Maler zine that will be available at the comicbook festival in May here in Copenhagen.

Cover for the Peterejlerseen comic book strips


Between august 2008 and January 2009 I did 19 comic strips for the book section of danish paper Dagbladet Information.
The story, the hexameter tale 'Peterejlerseen', that was one of many absurd and crazy tales written on verse in the book 'Katalonien'. I brooke the hexameter tale into nineteen parts.
I have chosen to get the comic strips printed on my own, so I can send them out to my regular clients as a little Christmas gift.
The strips are printed on a 100cm X 22cm sheet of paper, on both sides and folded nine times....If you read this an´want me to mail you a copy..then please send me an email with your adress to mail@erikpetri.dk
