Back home



 

I got back home at around 20.30 last night from Tampere kuplii and it was way too late to manage a thank you post, so here it comes just a little late! Thank you! I haven't had this much fun in ages! Thank you everyone who visited our table! It was lovely to see folks I've not seen in years (thanks corona) and also new people :D Hope to see everyone next year in Tampere kuplii, too ^^


Next up Kauhucon next weekend! And my exhibition starts too, going to be a busy week again :D ...sorry Homer :'((

Exhibit poster!



 Here's the poster for my exhibition I spent the whole of last week painting <:D It's starting to feel real finally, that this time this won't be cancelled!

So, get ready to see some comic originals in a few weeks time in the Kallio Library comics room! There will be no vernissage unfortunately since the space is pretty tiny and I don't want to bother the other customers

Here's the exhibition complementary comments for those who might be interested ^^

Avar’yön poluilla

Sarjakuvaoriginaalinäyttely 2.-29.4.2022

 Avar’yön polut kertoo nuoren ja kunnianhimoisen naisen, Adalin, tutkimusmatkasta syrjäisille vuoristoseuduille, mistä hänen sukujuurensakin ovat. Tämä paikalliskulttuurin ja uskomusten keruuseen keskittyvä tutkimusmatka olisi juuri se saavutus, jonka avulla hän todistaisi kelpoisuutensa hakijana Haardenin yliopistoon. Matkan luonne muuttuu kuitenkin peruuttamattomasti, kun ikiaikaiset epäinhimilliset voimat alkavat liikehtiä hänen tutkimuskohteenaan olevassa laaksossa. Samaan aikaan mahdollisesti jossain todella syvällä laakson alla, tai kenties aivan toisessa ajassa, pimeyden verhoaman maan nuori prinssi kohtaa omat haasteensa, ja hänen kokemuksensa alkavat kietoutua Adalin omiin oudoilla tavoilla.

Tähän näyttelyyn on koottu Avar'yön polut-sarjakuvani originaaleja. Originaalit ovat tussipiirroksia, jotka on sitten maalattu tussilaveraauksin ja vesivärein kuumaprässätylle vesiväripaperille. Puhekuplat ja muut efektit lisään sarjakuvaan vasta jälkikäsittelyssä, joten ne jäävät näistä originaaleista uupumaan.

 Sarjakuvan tähän mennessä julkaistut sivut ovat luettavissa ilmaiseksi nettisarjakuvaportaali Tapasissa ja Webtoonssissa englanniksi!

On the Paths of Avarnight

Exhibition of comic page originals 2.-29.4.2022

Paths of Avarnight is a dark fantasy webcomic with a generous dash of horror added to the mix. It tells the story of a young and ambitious lady, Adal, on an expedition to a remote mountain region from where her mother is also originally from. This expedition to record local culture & belief is an opportunity for her to prove her worthiness and be accepted into Haarden University, but the expedition soon warps into something much more dangerous as inhuman forces from beyond the veil of time begin to move in the valley, she is conducting her research in. At the same time, somewhere deep below the valley itself, or mayhaps in another time entirely, the experiences of a young princeling of a dark land entwine with those of Adal in strange ways.

A tiny selection of originals for my graphic novel Paths of Avarnight have been put on display in this exhibition. The originals are ink wash and watercolour paintings on hot pressed watercolour paper. Speech bubbles and other effects are added digitally and thus lack from the pages shown here.

 Paths of Avarnight is a free to read webcomic currently being published in both Tapas and Webtoons

Painting a poster, hopefully in time...

 Okay so! Exhibit next month suddenly! I am very happy but also a bit nervous since this has been postponed twice due to corona already… This time around I believe in it enough to have started a poster for it :”D Has to be ready pretty soon though 💦

+ bonus Homer because he is the best, and the loudest.

A wild page appears!

 


Webtoons - Tapas

Have I ever been this quick with an update?? Probably not. Anyway, just as things seemed to be taking an upward turn, everything takes a deep dive again. I think this time around I've retreated into drawing the comic, as after two corona years of nothing and more nothing there's finally something nice happening with the comic...
 IDK what I'm even trying to explain here. Just feels absurd to have good flow in this situation.
