Ok so, here’s an article about 💫ME💫 from last May, still bit flustered haha

And still find it extremely funny that they wrote “Mag Heavy Metal und Punk Rock” 😂😂😂 it’s true and it’s 1:1 what I said but why does it come off as a way too Finnish aka laconic dating profile bio?? 😆💫🩶
Setting up sound: electricity goes from WHERE and goes to WHERE?
Drawing: light goes from WHERE and goes to WHERE??

A year, a month and a day ago, Athens. I met this Swedish guy in the residency house who spoke Ancient Greek fluently (but not a word of modern Greek 🤷🏼) and we had a coffee in front of the national archaeological museum. I staid back to draw this pentacle like sculpture.

In other news I’m thinking about trying ceramics again - anyone knows a nice course offer in Berlin? Mostly interested in sculpture.

As a reference I did this bust of MY OWN HEAD as a teenage emo (note the snakebites and the unnecessarily dramatic paint job) as a 17-18?Y old& am not against it??

Not me reading stressed about DAX bc the news is too close to the plot of my UNPUBLISHED dystopia graphic novel. Wrote that in 2016!!!

I know, this is what you get for being so damn slow 😩😩 I’m over halfway thru with the sketches to finish the book, if the Kollaps could just wait a bit plz??

Badeschiff, Berlin 2024. I’m absolutely obsessed with this place and have drawn it into multiple comics. It’s a “container swimming pool” built into the Spree 💦 that runs through the city, and is too contaminated to swim in. So we got our fake beach instead. I go as often as I can in the summer 😌

In the sea of Blau, central Berlin had voted almost 40% the shade of red I want to see :) Berlin mon Amour bleibt stabil ♥️

Featured is the view from having attempted to enter AlteNationalgallery last summer, but everyone and their moms was queuing to see paintings, so I sat down to draw instead.

Might be bit silent here for the next two weeks, after that the frequent notebook updates will return ;) just so you know! 😎😎

March 2024, the Alps 🏔️😮🫶🏼 me and Kimmo Lust had our 2nd satellite expo for our queer horror comic at Fumetto🖤 in Lucerne. I ofc got krank af but one day managed to drag myself up to the nearest mountain and was thoroughly awed. What beauty!! I’d only traveled through mountains before. #notebook

Last years notebook is a tiny thing with somewhat seethrough paper. I was moving about quite a bit-this was at Sitges, Catalonia right after the traditional 1st Jan swim. The whole town goes together but we were pick me’s and went on our own.

Including a comic by me!:))

No particular memory connected to this one - I spent so much time in trains the past year+ that I legit made myself a training program for a moving train 😆 gotta keep those weak comic artist muscles oiled somehow amirite.

More sketchbook moments :)
Tampere 2024. I was waiting for a friend to come home from work, so I could go crash at hers. She had a new inflatable mattress for me, but alas no pump. Well two diy pnux should easily tackle this, right?

Ok an additional for digital artists - how do you stop yourself from zooming in WAY TOO DEEP? The tablet makes me loose all concept of size & I find myself polishing practically invisible pixels

Silver lining is that them pixels be really popping now 🤠🤠

Getting out of the bus I saw a frantic teenager running from half a block away tryina catch it. I’ve been reading BrandoSando so felt heroic and stuck my arm to the open bus door. Bus waited, dude arrived, thanked, bus driver stared at me incredulously and I left w the air of hero heavymetal playing

Introduce yourself with 4 movies. I’d be lying if it wasn’t a mix of silent era / cheesy vampire / ghibli / end of the world

But do wanna put Sunset Boulevard the absolute masterpiece here 🤔🤔
