This is the first page of my upcoming graphic novel “WELTUNTERGANG – a post-apocalyptic queer adventure” set in the lively ruins of ye good ole Berlin town. Planning to publish the first chapter, 28 pages in glorious 4/4 color, in the next months as an independent print. The making of was supported by the Institute for Anarchist Studies and the story will be published in their journal.

I’m hoping to get the rest done before it becomes less dystopian futuristic and more historical but let’s see. I’ve been working on this story already much longer than what I imagined, got a slight case of megalomania kicking perhaps, and it’s just the beginning, baby. Anyway stay tuned :)

Translations for COFFEE BREAK

For some reason I can’t work the translations to the previous comic “Coffee Break” to show in the actual post. Until this is fixed here they are, on a separate post. My apologies!

COFFEE BREAK

Based on a discussion with Sadie Lune, a porn star

1. Yes! In the threesome scene we should totally play fight with dildos! Unicorn style, lol

2. ..which reminds me, when is the next Menage A Trois -mag coming out again?

3. Enactone was awesome, totally deserved winning the Best Feature Prize at Porn Film Festival Berlin. I hope Pink Label signs it!

4. The camera girl is like sooo hot!

5. Uh, I wonder if I should check again for toilet paper left-overs..

6. Nom, again hummus for lunch - well, luckily this time it’s not onions..

Interview with the amazing Ahi Wi-hongi, an indigenous transgender sex worker about the sex work laws in NZ. The comic was first published in Voima Magazine, as a part of the FEMSKT -collectives page commenting the “Swedish Model” that currently affects the lives of sex workers in Finland and many other countries. 

More info in Finnish from the Pro-tukipiste site.

Am thinking of drawing a second page, or a title, or something, but let’s see. Will keep you posted ;)
