Doodling cat-elves

I haven’t been able to draw much after finally finishing that comic. Just too tired, and busy with trying to graduate as quickly as possible.

But a fun little event of male beauty by the name Magic Meat March over in Tumblr was too good of an excuse to doodle my very emancipated half-elf half-cat equal parts sexy and awesome stripper-librarian darling Mizane. I even googled for sexy librarian poses but ended up doing almost exactly the same pose I originally did of him by accident – or just sheer exhaustion…

Enjoy this half an hour doodle of him, and let's hope I get myself back in the game next month. I am thinking of drawing my next mini-comic about him, though~

Tähtivaeltaja

 Some of you may know that I am old. Olde enough to have read Tähtivaeltaja back in the late nineties when I was a lonely old bag in the making in rural Finland, in times when the Internet was something new and expensive. I can say that reading this good old scifi-fantasy-horror-zine was one of the things keeping me sane in that very unsane environment. I’ve continued reading it ever since those backwards ancient times.

 AND for a few years now  I’ve had the pleasure of having my illustrations decorating the pages of Tähtivaeltaja, but now I made it to the cover! Somewhere a teenage me is screaming in delight.
 There’s no one more worthy of the honour of cover than the regal Ninavel. No one.
Tähtivaeltaja is a great magazine btw, you all should read it!  (Of course the mag is only in Finnish)

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!

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

Feather and Scale is almost here

The proofs came, and the colours, structure and everything works! I've okayed the printing, so seems like I will indeed have a comic to sell in Tampere Kuplii! So exciting!

 I'll properly announce the comic after I get it from the print house, in the meantime we can enjoy this temporary cat-Homer not really appreciating the fruits of my hard work.

ps. I’ll make it so you can also buy it online, to abroad!

Yukicon

A batch of new and old bookmarks and prints ready for the artists’ alley of Yukicon (Messukeskus, Helsinki)! Stickers are on the way.

I’ll be there on Sunday 10-16 on table nr. 21 with these lovelies and a ton of other art! See you there~
