 On monday the hopefully last adjustments to Ateneum3. 72 pages worth of strange stories from the early 80s. Going to move onwards to book 4...

 Book 3 is keeping me awake. Everything is taking too much time. The book is not even coming out until November, I think. This particular pr...

 Teaching comics since 1998. A bit longer actually, but at the Aalto university since that year. I don't know if I've done good, but...

 Ateneum3 still needs some work, not much but some. This is only possible after I see some samples of the colors, so while waiting I have on...

 Two people have read Ateneum3 and according to them this third book is better than first and second. Now all I have to do is not to ruin an...

 Doing coloring, which pretty much means all else is done. Well, not quite not quite, almost, though. Hoping to get the book out by end of O...

 

 What am I doing -thinking about the colors for Ateneum3 -waiting for the second proofs for A3 -writing/lettering third short story collecti...

 Been proofreading Ateneum3, making some corrections. This book is, I think, quite different from the two previous ones. Hard to say anythin...

 Mostly writing

 I've probably done my share of teaching. Promised myself 7 more years, but will it happen? Is it good for anyone? There are moments whe...

 One thing remaining to do of Sirkusprinsessa book. Also covers and title pages. I'd say I'll manage to do the one thing tomorrow, a...

 Started to finalize a book called Sirkusprinsessa. Should be out sometime next year. Otherwise struggling to find funding for all the other...

 Sirkusprinsessa maybe coming out next year. Around 200 pages, short stories, Asema. Times are...

 Don't know, but started to feel that it is a bit too hard getting a book out. Ateneum3 is being scanned and cleaned, but still I'm ...

 Things moving slow. I have 17 finished pages for Ateneum4, aim to have 24 before summer. All and all the whole book should be done year fro...

 Unlikely

 

 Going to make some additions to Ateneum3, going to continue Ateneum4. Four needs writing, don't have any finished scripts, needs to be ...

 

 Glanced through Ateneum3, many thing seemed to function quite good, some spots might require SOLUTIONS, or maybe not. When there's a la...

 

 Didn't do much good. It was what it was.

 

 Well, there's really no way A2 could win so called SF award. Easy enough to figure it out. LÄskimooses could've, SR could've, A...

 Theoretically I should be able to do 2, even 3 pages in a week. But with classes and everything else going on one page in a week is realist...

 Haven't done enough

 Is it too late

 Some mistakes were made, but got the first page of Ateneum4 started. If very lucky, I will finish it today.

 Just one of the things I need to stop doing

 A3 is now drawn, except for some minor detail. Lacking funds to get it scanned etc, not that I'm too excited of that prospect. Spent th...

 Cant quite remember when I started to teach comics, but at the university in 1998. Safe to  say that I've been doing it for 30 years, p...

 One third of the book proof read. Pages done last spring are filled with holes, undecided texts, also lettered with another pen (due to dif...

 I should really stop this useless blog, but oh well... new plan is I start a very small comic book series in -27. Print run maybe 20 copies...

 Would prefer not to think about teaching, would prefer not to write about teaching Picture from the Q theatre play Opettaja nyt by Numminen...

 I think I've figured out most of the storylines in Ateneum. Now I need to figure out what I will actually reveal to the readers. Maybe ...

 Maybe I don't like to draw. 

 Less than 10 pgs left to do of Ateneum3. After that still shitload of things to do. Classes soon to be over. Problem with motivation on all...

 Do I really have any reason to finish this book? Less/less.

 I have regrets.

 Next year I could bring out 6 books, but for that I would need 18000 euros. Not quite likely then. Ateneum 3 might be doable. Maybe. 

 I was thinking I really should write about teaching comics. Then I was thinking I really shouldn't write about teachinc comics. Then I ...

 Well, for a month now I have felt good with this series. Finally. Looks like I have 19 pages left to do of book three. Might be 64 pages or...

 Will not participate in any dimwit discussions on any of the so called "rules". Fuck the rules, every rule.
