 Chances are I will not do another book

 Ah reckon ah'll do something half decent some time next year.

 Slightly optimistic on the Ateneum project. Book one is now at the printer, book two inside pages quite close to being finished. Book three...

 Going to miss it although 2 new books out and studio in the same building. But you can get the books from there: Vajoava Ateneum (kreegah b...

 Sense of relief when Ateneum-book now, so it seems, finished and out of my hands. If the rest goes smoothly it should be out of the printer...

  Estimating that I have 15 pgs left to do, not counting the forepages. Then filling in gaps here and there, polishing texts, making changes...

Looking for French, English, German, Spanish publishers for these and OTHER books. Find me from instagram. Nuff said  

 I do tragedies but you're probably not getting it

 I'm done doing this commercial stuff I've been doing.

 I will correct the mistakes of book one in book two...

Unique mistakes

 This book is really taking some time to finish, but printing will start 1st of July. Nuff said

 Haven't done much.

 Ok, so: Ateneum book one almost done, book two coming out next year. As is the Sirkusprinsessa book. Apart from those two I have four book ...

 Basically I feel I should've had a book out annually and some of these "books" are quite small and/or actually no books at al...

 Ah reckon there is only one really good literary editor of comics in Finland.

 Done some calculating and looks like I've been proceeding with the rate of 3 pgs in a month for the last 3 years. However, I'm not ...

 The plan is that there will be 4 books of 64 pages. I have various plotlines, maybe too many. The one that I enjoy the most is the, let...

 Started to feel a bit enthusiastic of the Ateneum book so what gives?

 Second collection of small short stories. Looks like it's going to be 192 pages if everything goes as planned. Should be out in 2025, l...

 Only healthy stance to media attention and publicity is that of Thomas Pynchon's. Just saying.

 I think I'm starting to prefer Erato to Harmonia mundi, but it's a difficult choice.

 I have plans

 I take teaching too seriously.

 

 I been running the manuscript circle at the comics center here in Helsinki for some, who knows how many, years. The original idea was to pr...

 I have way over 100 pages done of the Ateneum book. At this stage Läskimooses was on a pretty solid ground while this book is almost daily ...

 In order to be able to decline the so called Sarjisfinlandia-prize, one would first have to win it. So this is a problem.

 The book I've been working for 4 years has proven sort of difficult. Difficult in the way that I'm planning to cancel it on a weekl...

 Only in it for the money

 Occasionally I start to feel I should start a school of my own. School of comics. And definitely, if I would get the funding, I would do it...

 Makes me wanna smoke crack.

 

 

 I have now something like 100 finished pages for my Sinking Ateneum book. The book is a complex mess of intervining plots. Every character ...

 Overestimating the public taste for over 30 years.

 I recommend that you don't read any of my books

 I don't like comics.

 Well I've tried. 

 I really should retire. 

 Im too lazy to put images of the books Ive done to internnet. Luckily Ingemar did... https://www.facebook.com/660109016/posts/pfbid02jXWMFz...

 I think there is a good probability that I will not publish anything from my so called Ateneum book. For so many reasons.

 

 For various reasons I've been reminded of mine and Hans's plan to create a Läskiversum of comic books. At the time we didn't ma...

 The plan is: read Septology by Fosse

 Here and now. Wouldn't mind seeing something FRESH in Finnish comics. 

 One of the best Läskimooses related ideas we had was to launch six miniseries comic books. We only managed to do one: Tappavat kädet by Leo...
