Blobs Explained.
My skin is white because I have been inside most of the summer. Not only because it has been too hot, but also because I have been working really hard on The Blobber Book. 124 pages, all poetry and 10 mini stories.

It is by far the most personal work I have ever done and needless to say it has been a blast.

The Blobber Book is printed!

"For some reason my first memory of Tomas, was about us talking on the platform of the New York subway. Then I visited him when he was living in a brand new apartment, uptown Manhattan, where he was developing his amazing skills on the computer. He looked a bit like a monk. I remember a cover he created for the New Yorker, showing Miss Liberty sipping water from a water tank during the summer dog days in New York City, and I didn't under-
Not long ago I was talking on the phone and I scribbled
[without thinking of course] random fields with a col-
ored marker. It was not until after the conversation I
discovered what I had done. My paper was filled with characters! All I had to do was to “release” them with a black pen, to find out who they really were. I thought this was an interesting concept so I made more, in fact I did 200 of them.
Backside of the book:

"After a long journey from Stockholm, New York, Copenhagen and Paris Tomas is now teaching Character Design and Creative thinking at Shenzhen University, China. This book started with "color blobs" of nothingness that turned into 135 tales created with the reptile eye and the subconscious brain. It gave us unsuspected characters and concepts. This book can also be an inspiration for art students as well as put some butterflies in the head of people who refuse to grow up."


"Tomas's charming blob drawings and verse are endlessly playful and amusing. The 21st century's answer to Edward Lear!"

stand why the magazine didn't run it, because it was really funny and smart. Besides our common artistic tastes, especially for our hero Hergé, the creator of the comic strip character "Tintin", I was not quite sure why we kept meeting time to time; Tomas was very much my idea of the man from the North. Austere, as in a Bergman movie, yet something there was something poignant about him, that was keeping me interested.

Then, Tomas left New York. After receiving news from Sweden, Denmark, and from France, I was quite taken when I saw him one day in China, and next to him, the very gracious face of a woman.

Finally, I received Tomas' Blobber Book, with short stories, and short poems, and illustrations; apparently spontaneous, with a non-sensical kind of humor, these tales evoke to me the same kind of mystery when I see this man sitting with an inscrutable face."

From the 200 I selected 120 and wrot poems and mini-stories to clarify further who they are. I found that this was a way to invent new characters and ideas for stories that would not come about any other way.

You find them in this book.
