Flashback March vol. 2

Time for another entry to my Flashback March~
Here’s a Mitral I painted for one of my very first conventions a bit after I had published my first comic. Mitral was one of the main characters in it. Well, to be exact the main character. Much of the story revolves around the misadventures and bad decisions this dumb red head makes.
 Look forward to that, for if everything goes as I’ve planned you’ll meet Mitral in a proper comic this year. With less edgelordyness, too, maybe.

AND! In case I forgot to mention, I will be tabling at Tampere Kuplii on Saturday the 24th of March! Come say hi if you're around ^^ 

Flashback March volume 1

I decided to make March a flashback month to protect my sanity in the throes of my thesis (= not really having time for art, which will lead to a neglect of social media accounts which leads to stressssss). So I will share some old stuff of mine and maybe talk about them pieces a little too. It will also get me in a nice comic mood.

 Here’s a piece I painted for my very first solo exhibition, it is the last piece I painted and the only one I still find tolerable. The exhibition was an account of different families of elder elvenkind inhabiting a forested realm beyond the tallest mountains you’ll ever see, in the world of my comic. While the realm itself plays a very small part in the first arcs of the entire story, this particular critter in the middle might actually have a role in the early comic ;D

Back to Finland doodle

Two weeks of intensive reading of nothing but academic books seems to have affected my ability to draw, I doodle furiously for almost five hours on Sunday while we roleplayed, and this is all I managed to produce in the end... Oh well... He is an ancient character of mine, that popped back to surface when I saw some pictures that reminded me of him.
 I need to focus heavily on my thesis for the next two months, so there will be less new art coming your way unfortunately. I am thinking of making these coming months a time for Blasts from the past, and share some older stuff that no one remembers anymore!

 Also, me and my partners in crime Rikkis & Pihlajatar will be at Tampere Kuplii next month! More info closer to the event, but look forward to that at least ^-^

Hello from Copenhagen and an announcement!

  First, a few pictures of my extra-exciting adventures here in the Capitol of Denmark! I have to say, this is a very lovely city. First a few pics from the Botanic Garden:

 

 Some islamic book illumination, absolutely exquisite.

My new love, the biggest clam in the world. I love it.

Pretty houses all around!

And then a piece that finished just before I left to Denmark and am now able to reveal! I painted a Finnish nature spirit, Metsähinen for an joint exhibition in Nagoya, Japan and Valkeakoski, Finland! More info can be found HERE

Thank you Å-fest!

Thank you everyone who visited our huge table, and a special thanks to the arrangers! Å-Fest surprised me with its warm atmosphere and good times! Porvoo is such a nice place ^^

 Tomorrow I fly to Denmark for two weeks so this blog will probably tone done very much for that time, but I will probably post some pictures of my trip to my other social media accounts, like Instagram. So follow me there if you haven't already ;D

Å-Fest and some really old art

Visited home last weekend, and there I have all of my old, old art school paintings and such stored. There I painted a lot of things but my favorite is a narrative pentatych 140cm high and 160 cm wide when opened. It is hands on the biggest piece I’ve ever done! This is a detail of the biggest, central piece.
I made it in the vein of medieval altarpieces, with doors and all. It tells the tale of my main char for life Mitral 💖

ALSO! I'll be in Å-Fest this weekend! It is a small comic festival in Porvoo! So, if you happen to be around there, do come say hi ^^

The Awaiting

Sometimes I've got to paint instead of write the thesis. I really like this one. It is also in my Redbubble, like everything else :D
