 No one can make me to finish this book

 Years I still maybe could teach

 

 I think that I will manage to conclude this

  Festival came/went. Now back to work. And how is work? Not bad. No idea when Ateneum3 could come out, this year, I guess. Wondering if my ...

 There are three important factors in the act of drawing 1. Materiality 2. Elements of drawing aka every drawing is abstract 3. Feeling of d...

 How long exactly? 1998 I started at the University. Minor subject from 2007. But I was teaching in different places already before 1998. Ju...

 Now working for real with book 4. This means saying goodbye to many characters. Or does it? Book 5 is in plans and at least Juri will retur...

 The amount of time and effort put to this project makes it easily the most difficult thing I ever did. Book 3 now just about finished and b...

 I've picked some bad habits on the way. When I send the material to Hans to be scanned it is not really finished. First thing: it's...

 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...

 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...

 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.
