That was great! You're really damn good! I love the one where the guys are sitting around the table looking at me. Feels like I just walked in on a private meeting, and they're wondering how I got in.

Sweet work. Lots of talent. You should be working a lot, very soon.

I just purchased a piece from Christoffer and am looking forward to doing so again. The guy is fast like greased poop through a goose, he is wonderful to deal with, and his art has a great feel to it.

I look forward to a few Scrollworks covers by him...

Game on!

Christoffer, your pen packs a whallop! Actually, I've been to your site before and I remeber thinking back then what a cool style you have. I look forward to seeing more. Will you be updating soon? I see Christian's got you burning the midnight oil, you couldn't find a better place than Scollworks to ply your trade.

Superb work - I strongly recommend everyone to take a look - especially aspiring artists - there's a lot to learn from Christoffer's handling of materials, and attention to detail.

It's great to see art where the technique is as strong as the ideas - there's a lot of originality, and skill here.

All the best , Christoffer

Your technique is wonderful, and your sense of composition and layout are spot-on. I love to see good black and white work like this.

This stuff brings back memories of some books I read as a kid. Does anybody else remember "Where the Wild Things Are?" and "Where the Sidewalk Ends"? The names of the authors escape me at the moment, but both books had really clean, tight, somewhat quirky illustrations that Christoffer's work really reminds me of.

Great stuff.

Very, very nice. I like the style a lot - the "Where the Wild Things Are" connotation is dead on (Maurice Sendak, by the way).
