Let's see how many I've managed to finish before the release xD

Sneak peek time again~

 

Just wanted to let you all know ,that there might be a little extra comic in the upcoming album >:3c Starring Marune and some lichen!

Paths of Avarnight turns 1 year old

Read page 24 here!

Paths of Avarnight also turned one year old ca. last week! 🖤💖🖤 I was going to have an exhibition to celebrate this occasion, but things being how they are, it won't happen after all :(

BUT I decided to arrange an online character popularity poll & giveaway regardless!
Please vote for your favourite character here!

I'm going to draw a sketch of the ranking, like in all of my favourite manga :D And please leave your email address at the end if you wish to participate in a small giveaway of Paths of Avarnight goodies ^^

I'll do my best to give you the 16th page before September :')

7th page

The seventh page has finally arrived! Read it here!

I'm sorry for being so slow recently, I do wish fervently May will be easier on my schedule wise ^^'

Progress

Despite the best efforts of a certain Hinder-Homer, the seventh page is on its way! Expect it to pop up after easter!
 Well, I'll write another blog entry when it happens anyway xD

6th page

6th page is done & uploaded 🖤

Or read from the beginning 

This took a bit and I'm afraid the next one will too as there's Easter to deal with. Not that I really care much about Easter, but it is a long holiday, which means social obligations. I'll do my best to be prompt with the next page too!

More comic!

Fifth page of Paths of Avarnight is up!

Read it here!

Next one will probably take a bit longer, since I will be tabling at Kauhucon next weekend! If you happen to be in Helsinki, please do come say hi  The event is free to enter, too

Comic updates

Greetings from the comic lair! I caught a hideous cold, which has hindered my progress a bit, but I’m sure we will see at least a little something at Tampere Kuplii 2019
 I will be there the whole weekend this time and can be found on table number 5 ^^
Homer has luckily been there for me throughout this trying time, mainly sleeping on top of me.

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.

A new exhibition of the same comic :D

Second round of rubbing my comic originals in the face of innocent passer-bys en masse is a-go~! Well, next week, that is.

More info in English below, but before that some Finnish.

Sulkia & Suomuja -sarjakuvanäyttely
Tikkurilan kirjasto, 2. kerros
Lummetie 4

Näyttely on avoinna 21.8.-9.9.2017
Ma-Pe 8-20
La-Su 10-16

Sulka & Suomu -sarjakuvan julkaisunäyttelystä tulikin pieni näyttelykiertue! Esillä myös aiemmin näkemättömiä originaalisivuja sarjakuvasta.

Sulka & Suomu on pieni haitarikirjasarjakuva, sen lisäksi se on koe siitä miten syklinen ja monisuuntainen kerronta voisi toimia paperisena sarjakuvana. Sulka & Suomu on unenomainen tarina kahden inhimillisiä ja epäinhimillisiä piirteitä omaavan olennon kohtaamisesta ja sen seuraamuksista.

Tervetuloa!

Feathers & Scales
An exhibition of comic page originals.
Tikkurila Library
Lummetie 4
The exhibition is open 21.8.-9.9.2017
Mon-Fri 8-20
Sat-Sun 10-16

 The Feather & Scale publication exhibition turned into a mini-tour! A few new, yet unseen originals will also be on display.

Feather & Scale is a small accordion book-comic. It is an experiment, a study of how cyclic and multilinear storytelling could function in paper format. It is also a dreamlike story of the meeting of two creatures; and the multiple consequences that ensue.

Welcome!

ps. If you want to RSVP to the FB-event, please do <3

Vernissage is tomorrow!

We got all my works up on the walls without anyone dying, getting injured or any of the frames falling on the floor, yay! Usually there’s at least some kind of a mishap that’ll complicate things, but this time everything… went suspiciously smooth. I hope this goes on in the vernissage. 

Preparation

Save money, frame everything by yourself… It has been quite the ordeal, but everything is almost done, with no loss of limbs or even fingers!

 There’s just a bit over a week until the vernissage, too. I’m very nervous! This will be my first solo exhibition vernissage, after all. My first solo exhibition in a very, very long time, too. I’ve only had one before, after art school.

Here’s the FB-event for those who might be interested

Meetings & Beginnings

 I posted a few paintings I did for the comic online elsewhere, the main reason was that these didn't make it to the comic as full page panels in the end. So, I wanted to share them in their full glory digitally!

Tampere Kuplii is almost upon us! I hope to see you there ^^

 I also have a small exhibition of the originals for this comic in the works, more info soon! Negotiations are going on so I can't give an exact date just yet, but it will be this spring.

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

Homer the cat-helper

Yes, let me help, helping is what I do best.

Mine most faithful cat-helper has returned to aid me after so many years! Maybe some of you even remember our sweet summer prince, Homer~ (he is totally a vampire)

New Year, New Brushes~

So many pages already! My small comic is almost done, if nothing goes wrong it will be available in Tampere Kuplii in March, we got a table there, too! I'm so relieved and anticipating my return to the small press world after so many years. Let us hope nothing goes awry....

Art Summary 2016

 I decided to finally make a summary of my own too, since it has been a productive year for me. Though, far from the level of productivity I would like to reach. A proper piece for each month would be so nice, here we still have a lot of silly little doodles for many months. Well, let’s see how it goes next year!

 Thank you all who have been a part of my life this past year, and I sincerely hope next year will be better for all of us!

Painting Comics

More tiny slivers of my tiny comic; I really enjoy painting that belly~ I'll try to keep posting little sneak peeks of the comic as regularly as I can! My goal is to get it done by Tampere Kuplii next spring! Wish me luck, and stay posted my lovelies~
