One of my bigger ambitions is starting a school of comics. I don't think this will actually ever happen, but already twice I've made...

And it looks like 5 pages still to do

Absraction is probably the thing I'm going for in this book. Define abstraction.

Issue 25 is in a pretty good shape. 7 pages I need to do and then work on the text just a bit and then it's done. Oh, except for the cov...

Haven't been publishing too many photos lately. Partly because what I've been up to hasn't been all that interesting. Or maybe i...

Listen to the story it knows where to go.

Back to work after an extended weekend and it looks like I have 5 pages finished of issue 25 (titled VÄHENEVÄSSÄ VALOSSA ). This is an issue...

Yes well... Always the new issue gives me pain. Learning to draw for two days now. But getting there, I presume. Looking at the calender I n...

It's a short one. Issue 25 started out nicely. Club page of issue 24 still undone, though. Can't wait to get to part four of the boo...

All the plans of mice and men... I had the plan to make next 3 issues 16 pagers, but then all sorts of stuff started to turn up and here I a...

Surprisingly I moved along quite a bit. Now all I really need to do is the changes to the texts, which is quite time consuming, but... Yes, ...

One page remaining but what really pains me is the various changes the text requires. Hard to estimate how long that type of work takes. Thi...

This one character in the book, the one who talks about apes, I've been wondering where he came from. From the start I knew somethin...

Yes, went through the pdf of Silvia Regina. That certainly brought back some memories. The book must've been the most demanding I've...

Some days back I built up this list as a sort of a guideline for myself and also something I could tell my students when they start my c...

Something nasty for the backcover of 24. Or if I don't change my mind. The issue was supposed to be finished today. Now I'm hoping f...

Been cleaning up and re-arranging the studio so the work hasn't really moved on in the last few days. Today I'm returning to it. And...

After 12 issues or so I began to feel there should be this " adventure comic" episode in the book. A wrestle scene. And so the Suo...

Miracles will be needed if I want to finish this issue before first of may. Cover undone, back cover undone, club page... Five or so pages.

Maybe I need to get this book finished since I have other things I'd like to do. Some 4 or 5 books in different stages of almost done. B...

The slowness of this project is agonizing. However I have now 600 pages under my belt and that's not so bad. It's hard to get any fe...

  The story is reaching the midpoint. Been reading some of the past issues. The text is sometimes better sometimes not.  I'm...

You don't get far with ideas.

The week left me satisfied. Got three bigger ideas I would maybe like to do someday. Ideas...

Back in the art school (UiaH) I used to work a lot with charcoal. For a very long time it was my favorite material. Normally I would start b...

As far as I know, today for the first time there have been more visitors from France and Russia than from Finland.

There remain 10 pages or so of issue 24 to do. Again I started adding them. Don't know if all the added pages are that important. Well, ...

The week has been bad, but the issue proceeds, one panel at the time. Meanwhile issue 23 is almost ready for the printer. Thinking back: rem...

Went through some of my mysterious boxes today. Less of the nice illustration originals left than I remembered. Haven't kept track of wh...

11 pages to do for issue 24. The downfall of Suomaa people, Oula and his sister Päivätär, king Ommot... Suomaa people grow disgusting and st...

Very exciting Läskimooses news coming along, can't wait to break it to you.

All the books before Holmenkollen were mistakes and it too was a mistake, but to a lesser degree than Kekkonen, which was my biggest bloody ...

Occasionally I feel this blog is somewhat fun to do, but most often i know it's useless waste of time, like everything in the so called ...

Starting issue 24 has been too slow. I only just have three finished pages. It's fun enough issue to do, but working days have been too ...
