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.

Söderströms jingle
Here´s the jingle I created for Finlandswedish supremo publisher Söderströms
Slow posting this week, a deadline tsunami washed me away from Vollewelt. If your norwegian is up for it, go check out In the Future.

Bush to Obama
Dubya's reaction was this:
'Congratulations and go enjoy yourself'
Is it just me thinking 'enjoy' is the polite word for 'fuck'?

ÆØÅÅH
Sometimes I get ideas on my way to work.
You know the ones where you go "Oh that would be fun" and then go
"naah, no time, pretty impossible and silly"
Anyways, this is one of them.
Presenting:
ÆØÅÅÅH - a norwegian expatpønkråkkband.
ÆØÅÅH will play norwegian classics really fast, together with foreign classics, translated to norwegian, like Dead Kennedys (For full for et knull), Clash (Oslo kaller) and Pistols (Anarki i Nåårgi)
Here´s a norwegian classic wich would sound good as HC punk:
ÆØÅÅH would tour the world´s norwegian expat-societes, but never set foot in Norway. We have to depend on norwegian embassies for funding.

A little update
I tried my hand at teaching last week. I had a comix workshop at Metropolia comprehensive. In five days, I had the pleasure of instructing, helping and seeing 32 pages of comix being produced by my 18 students.
The idea of the workshop was to write, draw and print our own zine, which we did. The zine´s name is "Rocket change", which came about when I suggested "Pocket change" and one student yelled "ROCKET change!". Everybody went "Yay!" and we had a name for our zine.
We printed 50 copies, of which you can see the cover here:
Here´s the intro-text from yours truly:
The zine you are holding in your hands is the result of a workshop at Metropolia, Helsinki between monday 14th and friday 17th of October 2008.
This was a first for all of us. My first teaching experience, first time making comics for most of the students. It´s been a real kick to meet students and see the comics come to life from scratch.
The theme we decided to explore here is CHANGE and all that it can mean. Anything from change in time, to Barack Obama´s take on change, to Jack the Ripper in love.
We got minotaurs, drugs, diapers, guinea pigs with knives, cowboys, porn, divorce, suicide, naked grandmas, murder, nails, babies, boozing and more drugs.
Some of the best humor and art comes from dark places. If we can´t laugh at the bad stuff, then we really are in trouble.
Apart from that, I´m drawing comix for FST´s brilliant Boktid again. Hardcore schedule before the autumn season premiere next month. I´ve been working more analog than ever, with cheapo brushes and perfumed chinese ink. Not yet approaching José Munóz or Comés caliber, but I am trying.
Then we have the gigs this weekend. Klub Kalma was as always a huge pleasure. Dubrovnik is a classy place and Asko was our savior at the mixing table when the original soundman couldn´t make it. A lovely eve was had by all.
Liberté is the first time I had the chance to see Can Can Heads, which played ahead of us. They were utterly fantastic. Everyone has to listen to that band. Bonus points for having the best dancer ever.
And yesterday I tried to revive the economy by calling for more positivity in media. I myself contributed by making a picture of an infant on a rainbow.
I mean, when 700 billion ++ of free money for the upstanding citizens of Wall street, doesn´t work, what works then?
