History:
My journey with comics began as a kid waaaay back in the 80’s. I loved to read (still do!) and visited our local library often. Like many other Finnish kids, I too subscribed Donald Duck -magazine, which came out every Wednesday. Barks’ and Don Rosa’s stories were the ones I waited for the most. Growing up, I realised there were other, different kind of comics… for example stuff like Tank Girl and Sin City left their mark. I’ve noticed I’m favoring black & white traditional comic art still.
Art Education:
I’ve always had some sorts of arts & crafts hobbies, but it wasn’t until (maybe?) 2019, when I started to think about drawing comics myself. I have attended watercolor painting courses in a local adult education center in and comics courses organized by Sarjakuvakeskus (Comics Center) in 2021-2022. In addition, I’ve self studied drawing and making comics using several online resources.
This site:
As my every day profession is something else than making comics, I’m producing comics at a tranquil but hopefully a steady pace. This site is for archiving and showing the final versions of my comics. Any considerate feedback or comments are appreciated.
To see what I’m up to more frequently, you can follow me on Instagram.
