So it is Christmas

Zine christmas market thing

Just a tiny darling of a note; I ended up getting a table at the Finnish Comics Society’s Christmas Zine sale Saturday 15th of December with Rikkisu & Metalmiku! If you’re around, please do come say hi 🖤 The event is held in the Comics Centre (Porthaninkatu 9, HKI)

The FB-event if that’s your thing

I had no idea there were kids involved, too xD, let’s try to keep them away from my table… I’m feeling especially sensitive about my art and less than mainstream preferences with this Tumblr shitstorm suddenly hitting us.

SPEAKING OF WHICH

decided to draw something ridiculously self-indulgent as a year end gift for myself, now that I have a moment’s respite from all the teachings and whatnots. Still working on the comic too, but this piece has been burning on my head for months. Take care of yourself, my lovelies.

The Helsinki Book Fair

I will be sharing a table with the fantastic Metalmiku & Rikkisu in the Helsinki Book Fair and more specifically in the booth of Finnish Comics Society (6G2) next Sunday (the 28th)!
We’re under the collective name of Mi・Ha・Ri 🖤 Come say hi to us if you’re visiting the fair on that day! ^^ Here’s the link to the facebook event! They have a lot of stuff for each day, so it is well worth checking out!

p.s. My shop is still open and accepting orders, since I know not everyone can and will attend the fair 🖤

Caterpillar Boy of Book-loving

When I was still young, (and so was the Internet), there were a lot of insanely cute and slightly disturbing caterpillar boys in the dark corners of the web that I hung out in. I loved them. I still do, but haven’t seen any in a long, long time.  Maybe there is still a caterpillar boy nook out there somewhere, that I just don’t know about…   /sigh

Anyway, this book loving little fella is also going to be a bookmark, that I will be selling in Desucon Frostbite in Lahti, Finland, this weekend! So, if you’re around, do come say hi, I have tons of other stuff too. I’ll be there on both Saturday and Sunday, as I am not on the Artists’ Alley, but in the Trade Hall (which are both conveniently in the same hall, actually).
 And for all of you internationals, who can't be in Lahti, I also slapped him to my Redbubble Shoppe!

This baby is also a part of the Heavenly Bodies series I’m currently working on, check out the Heavenly Bodies tag for more!

And a bonus Homer, because he is the sweetest and cutest cat ever. Such a cuddly boy :'3

Return of Shura

Working on something new~ This is an iteration of one old character that first came to me in a dream, as a male witch elf from Warhammer Fantasy Battle. Nowadays he has a new identity.

I Might get this done by Sarjakuvafestivaalit, where I’ll be sharing a table with Rikkisu Zinefest!

The exhibition is open!

The exhibition is officially open! Welcome everyone ^^The originals will be up on display until the 9th of September!
 In other great news, I will be sharing a table with the wonderful Rikkisu in the Zinefest of Helsinki Comics festival on the first weekend of September! I'll see if I can cook up something small and shenanigan-y for the event~ More information will be shared closer to the event.

Spring Announcements!

First, thank you all you who came to say hi in Tampere Kuplii, you made my weekend <3

Then, to the other things! My next con will be the Stockholm International Comics Festival in May! My first con abroad, very exciting! If you happen to be around, please come say hi! I will be sharing a table with Rikkis in the Small Press Expo.

But before that I will have a small exhibition of originals for the Feather&Scale graphic novel! I will have more info on that soon, so stay tuned~

And lastly, something not so nice. My nemesis, the Finnish Post Office will rise their prices yet again in the beginning of April. Therefore, all of you who haven’t yet gotten my graphic novel from the webshop, you should hurry before everything gets worse. I put both the graphic novel and our colouring booklet on sale, just for you lovelies ;> Thank you for all your support so far!

Feather & Scale!

It is here, finally!

 Feather & Scale is an accordion book graphic novel, and a study of nonlinear, cyclic storytelling. Two creatures, Feather and Scale, leave their safe homesteads, meet each other and multiple possibilities open up: how do they react to each other and what happens to them?

32 pages, 7 cm x 12 cm.

Printed on 160 g/m² glossy paper. Each accordion book is handmade by yours truly <3 

Apart from the title, the graphic novel is textless, therefore, readable by anyone anywhere~

Available internationally on my TicTail shop and in conventions I will attend; next one being Tampere Kuplii, you can find me in Pienlehtimarssi18.3.-.19.3., with the amazing Viivi Rintanen and Rikkis ^^

ps. I also added a few of my favorite pages and panels to my Redbubble, since I won’t be able to sell prints abroad from the TicTail thank to Finnish postoffice being monstrously expensive
