Matti Hagelberg

 I think I have too many things I'm working on. .

 I'm a Taideteollinen korkeakoulu alumni, NOT an Aalto alumni. 

 Ateneum 2 is B.E.M.#32. I think I'm able to reach #50 in the time give, but would've preferred to reach #70. Oh well...

 So far it has not been a happy year.

 

 

 I think there's a direction, but it's complicated

 50/60 that I won't finish this series. Don't really care.

 

 ooo

 If I'd remember how hard it is to do a book, I would never do another.

 Maybe out in August

 What I'm doing, I'm doing for no-one, not even myself. Starting to feel a bit isolated.

 

 Still no clue of what is this book really. Many things there as a smokescreen only, hiding the actual whatever it is. Noticed again yesterd...

 Summer. Schedules all messed up. Been filling in stuff to Ateneum book 2. Almost done, but not quite. Will be doing some color try-outs tom...

 

 

 I like the characters in this book. Lot of history in each one. Every one like a sort of ice berg. This part I like.

 Slowly I've learned to care for these characters. So I guess I will at least conclude book 3. After that not so sure, although some nic...

 Restless 4 so many reasons. Soon time to pick students for the minor subject, Läskimooses US edition finally moving along, several books fi...

 Don't care anymore so finally some progress

 Been teaching for quite some time and it's only this year I started to feel I can't do this anymore, I have nothing to give.  But t...

 I was planning that I should write something on comics, mostly teaching but not only that. Pretty sure this is an idea that I will abandon....

 Should be cutting the pages for Ateneum 3. Am not.

 Less than enthusiastic to publish any of my unpublished things. I guess I'll wait it out and see how it looks like 2025. Ateneum book 2...

 I have couple of projects in mid-air. Will take 3 years that I'm done with them. Now thinking that I will only do one book after them, ...

 Teaching gone overboard and well begun book halted. Meanwhile: most recent book out in July and zero response. Universe is trying to tell m...

 Thank u Taike for the 5 years 2020-2024 I managed to -conclude Läskimooses with the 60 added pages for the book version -do ground work for...

 I estimate third book of short stories could be done by March, I estimate I could start Ateneum 3 with some serious nonsense in January, I ...

 Had a plan to write essays on teaching, but realized it is better forgotten and left a secret.

B.E.M. 31 drawn B.E.M. 32 drawn B.E.M. 33 drawn B.E.M. 34 drawn B.E.M. 35 drawn B.E.M. 36 drawn

 When I quit, I quit just like that. And will not look back.

 Mention "pitch" in my presence and we've done talking.

 Aalto university makes me wanna smoke crack.

 It is somewhat likely that book 2 will come out year from now. Not much left to do. Book 3 and 4? I'm not sure if there is any POINT. 

 This whole series, ridicuosly hard to do. All the time I'm waiting when it gets normal and I don't have to think: this is totally w...

 Ok, well. Almost only the few panels I need to arrange a photoshoot are left to do. This is good. Better. Hard to say how different chapter...

 I don't think my collection of essays on teaching comics will be happening anytime too soon. But if it would, wouldn't SHUT UP YOU ...

 15 months and it's not ok

 You don't really need to know how the story ends.

 Will start reading Ateneum 2 tomorrow. Hard to say how many things to improve. There are actual holes there too, but mostly in images. Slig...

 I am able to write better, draw better, I should

 Book 2 drawn from beginning to the end,next round two of the same

 

 Book two pretty close to finished. One panel to go. Then one page worth of stuff that require a photosession. Then frontpapers...colors...a...

 Fall starting. Means classes starting. Students are nice, but what can I teach. Nothing much. That's something. At least.

 I know you think I'm joking when I'm saying I have 4 books all set for printing but it's the TRUTH and feels like conspitation....
