Struggle

I really struggle with the idea of promoting myself or my work. I hate it. I hate it in so many ways. This blog is the closest to a homepage I'm able to stand.

Or maybe just if someone would do it and I just had to accept it's existence. Then maybe.

Or not.

Sorta

Sorta surprised when I counted the remaining issues (15 or so) and realized that IF I'm able to keep the pace, then the book will be done in 2 years. The book of corrections on the other hand SHOULDN't take more than a year. So all and all 3 years would be the maximum.
Curious.
And first time I felt this thing has started to turn towards the end when I started issue 32. Less smoke screen, more straight up story telling.
When I started the project in 2012 I had this idea that the thing would have six part and each part answers one question. Part one answered question: what is Läskimooses? The current part was supposed to answer the question: who controls Läskimooses? But new questions have risen so that thing might be answered somewhat later. But, yes, questions. And then: how to survive Läskimooses? Find out!

Downhill

Downhill has started. The final chapter(s) of the book. Today I'll draw the panels for issue 32.

When

So, when will I return to my old scraperboard technique? After I have finished Läskimooses? After the book of additions and explanations? After the book of no pictures? I do have enough good essdee scraperboard for at least one book in my old style,  you know.
So, when? Not anytime soon. Why? Because. So there.

3.33

It's 3.33 and I'm waiting for the first airport bus at Marseille st. Charles. The exhibition is now on and it's a silly one. Maybe you go to Friche this summer. Today I'm flying home.

Ps.

It's my first time leaving from this airport BUT for some reason everyone is asking me for advice.

The first

The first 700 pages are the hardest. Yes, maybe, but the pages after that have been, so far, if not hard then slow. Now I'm actually getting near 800. It's inevitable. All I have to do is draw. Now the break I have to take for a week makes me really uneasy. But I have a thing in Marseille. And the Läskimooses Powerbook is coming out.
