Abstract Accidents

It's been a while since I last time drew something but now I've been doing it on few nights. Let's hope I won't  get tired of it as suddenly as I started it. I also kind of hope that I'll get more tattoo ideas by drawing more.


Not so special or specially pretty but time flew while doodling these.

Dark Side of the Moon

I was on my way to bed when I saw this from window. I think it was worth making my allready short sleeptime shorter.
Oh and I had my last high school finals today, fuck yeah. Soon off to party!

Beautiful moon and clouds stepping away.

Drop the Roof

I used a different computer few days that hadn't any photoshop programs so I had an excuse not to post anything here.. haha. Not that I would have had much to post here. These are couple days old.

My private snowboarding park. Should still put that rail somewhere...

Bs 180 drop

Fooling around while taking some spot check pictures.

I Know Your Lie

My student exams are about to start on friday. I should have been reading for those but instead of that I've been mostly snowboarding. The best snowboarding weathers in the whole winter will be here soon. Can't wait to get some shooting done then. We're also having one Freestyle Jam more on this season. Someday near easter. Be there!

     Plans are that we're going to build a huge rail-monster that contains almost everything possible from the whole snowpark of Kokonniemi and maybe a bigass corner. The one who owns the spot wins I guess. Might (and should) be the highlight of this winter.

Good thing that I kinda like fuzzy pics 'cause it was too dark to get anything else.

Latest Flame

I don't know if I should write something more here this time. Maybe I won't.

Kiss The Skull

I have no "real photos" to post so I just shot few random pics in my room. 

My plan is to fill this 2l bottle with coins. I think I'm 0,5l done...

My view right now.

On saturday we were at Volcom Peanut Butter Rail Jam at Serena. I really surpised myself and managed to finals there. Would be cool to see some pics and maybe even video footage from there. I'll probably link something here if and when I find something.

Jam It

One pic for yesterday and one for today.

From Kokonniemi Freestyle Jam 4. 
Happened last sunday and going to happen again at the end of the season!

My still-almost-new Burton Blunt. First decent photo that I took of it.

Picture Per Post

It's so often when I leave this whole blog for weeks (or like for months lately) that I figured out new way to do this.

I'll try posting a picture per a post and daily. Maybe two pics per post if I skip a day and so on. Let's hope I won't forget or get lazy again... I also hope to get more choice for the pics I post here. By this whole move thing I could as well gain some progress with my pictures.

Here's one jet plane that I captured flying above us a few days ago.
