Trip to Vaasa

Me and the banner for the Hamsun festival, originally uploaded by Karstein Volle.

The trip to Vaasa was a true pleasure. The arranger Inge Fagerbakk & co.made sure we were well taken care of.

Highlights:
-Good feedback on the electronic exhibition of my illustration work.
-The pleasure of seeing my design all over campus.
-Having a presentation of my work at the university.
-Seeing my work reproduced in cloth. That´s a definite first.
-Being in a bus somewhere on the east coast, students singing finlandsswedish drinking shanties, chatting with the arrangers and other guests while being served Jallu and Olvi beer.

Now lookie here

Activities this week

For residents of Vaasa, come on down to the university this friday. I will have an hour to show and tell about my comix, my music and my art.
If you read swedish, download the program for the whole Hamsun-festival.

Apart from that, my tenure at Dagbladet´s guest strip spot is over this week. In the future will continue in the future, but for now I think it´s only healthy to go on a hiatus . Daily strips are great fun, seeing the short distance from idea to finished piece, but that´s the thing with instant gratification: It can be exhausting too.

I would also like to ask finnish readers to keep an eye out for this week´s NYT-liite and go here to check out what Kirkko ja Kaupunki says about Boktid.

Warms the heart

This video put a wide smile on my face. Soon the world don´t have to deal with this inbred lying mass-murdering Pinochet-wannabe scumbag. We´ll all be better for it, economic crisis or no economic crisis.

-edit-
And it gets even better. According to Yahoo news, no publisher is interested in publishing Dubya´s memoirs.

Then again, his literary credentials aren't exactly astounding.

Neither are his linguistic skills.
